SCIENTIFIC RATIONALE FOR THE USE OF WINTER TRITICALE IN CARP FEEDING

Purpose. To investigate the effect on the sprouted grain, soaked grain as well as a mixture of grain with grass flour of winter triticale on the growth of Ukrainian framed carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). Methodology. The materials of the study of the sprouted grain, soaked grain as well as a mixture of grain with grass flour of winter triticale on the growth of Ukrainian framed carp were done based on the generally accepted methodology. Findings. An analysis of the average daily growth of Ukrainian framed carp showed that application of a mixture of the steamed ground grain and ground green mass of winter triticale to their diet increased the intensity of their growth compared to the use of sprouted and soaked grain. The use of the mixture of the steamed ground grain and ground green mass of winter triticale for carp feeding increases the content of protein-vitamin complex in fish diet and reduces the prime cost of fish production. An effectiveness of the use of mixture of the steamed ground grain and ground green mass of winter triticale for carp feeding has been showed. Originality. We conducted a comparative study on the effect of mixture of the steamed ground grain and ground green mass of winter triticale on the growth of Ukrainian framed carp (Cyprinus carpio L) in the conditions of Volyn Polyssia. Practical value. In order to improve the productivity of Ukrainian framed carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) and reduce the prime cost of feed, we proposed to use the mixture of the grain with ground grass flour of winter triticale for its feeding.
