Harvesting of sudan grass in the conditions of the western kazakhstan region

Abstract

The article presents the research data on the effect of harvesting time on the productivity and feed value of the Sudanese grass in the conditions of the 1st zone of the West Kazakhstan region. The purpose and objectives of the research are to study the elements of adaptive technology of cultivation of Sudanese grass, to provide livestock with complete feed. The result of these tests the productivity and feeding value of Sudan grass depending on the time of harvesting hay mass. According to the research data, the yield and fodder value of Sudanese grass in the 1st zone of West Kazakhstan region depended on the terms of harvesting. At the same time, the highest productivity of Sudanese grass for the collection of green, dry mass and yield of feed units, protein, and exchange energy was established when harvesting the mowing mass in the flowering phase. The research results are relevant and find their practical application in the organization of modern feed production.
