Utilizing legume-cereal intercropping to increase sustainable production of bulk feeds with increased energy and nutrients content for purpose of quality improvement of animal products in conventional and organic farming
Project goals
The main objective of proposed project is creating a comprehensive and scientifically substantiated technology of growing of legume-cereal intercrops for high quality bulk feeds production for cattle in conventional and organic farming conditions to achieve higher security and productivity of livestock production. For this purpose it is necessary to evaluate and select suitable legume and cereal species and their varieties and the best pea to cereal ratio in the seed mixture for intercropping for the production of fodder. The exact determination of the nutritional value and testing of roughage in vivo with an emphasis on the quality of nitrogen compounds and their use will be performed. It is also important to determinate possible alternative methods of protection against weeds, diseases and pests.
