Sunflower husk processing technology for fodder production

Abstract

The article considers the possibilities of environmental protection from agricultural waste - sunflower husks. A technology for processing this waste from the oil extraction industry into a feed product using ultrasonic treatment (cavitation) is proposed. The chemical changes of this product after processing, including nutritional value, were studied. The indicators of the use of this product under the conditions of incubation of an analogue of the rumen of ruminants were studied. Positive changes in the chemical composition of the processed product and its more active fermentation in the ruminal fluid of ruminants were revealed.
