Cabbage crops in solving the problem feed protein in the Non-Chernozem zone

Abstract

According to natural conditions, the non-black earth zone of Russia is the main region of concentration and specialization of meat and dairy cattle breeding, as well as pig and poultry breeding. In the near future, to ensure the food security of the region, including large industrial cities of Moscow, St. Petersburg and others, it will be necessary to produce about 20.8 million tons of milk, 4.6 million tons of meat, 16.6 billion eggs. To produce such a quantity of products, it is necessary to produce about 77 million tons of feed units, including 40 million voluminous and 37 million concentrated feed, including insurance funds and livestock re-production. The most important condition for the effective use of feed is provided with their protein (feed protein) [1–3]. Scientific and practical experience shows that in solving the problem of providing forage with protein, the leading role in the Non-Black Earth Zone belongs to cold and frost-resistant oilseeds, and above all rapeseed. In the Federal Williams Research Center of Forage Production & Agroecology, highly productive varieties have been created, technological bases for their cultivation have been developed, which ensure the seed productivity of spring forms up to 3.5 t/ha and winter crops - up to 6 t / ha of oilseeds. The development and implementation of the rapeseed sowing program in the zone will allow meeting the needs for vegetable oils, producing in the required volumes high-protein supplements in the form of oilcakes and meal for animal husbandry and poultry farming.
