Determination of the efficiency of conservation of grain silage prepared from the following constituents of grain legumes crops in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus was realized: vetch (Vicia) + oat (Avena sativa); oat + Austrian winter pea (Pisum arvense) + mallow (Malva). Results of the realized experiment showed the high efficiency of grain silage conservation: per 1 kg of vetch and oat mixture the yield of feeding units was 48,5 c. while per 1 hectare of perennial grasses after silage preparation the yield of feeding units was only 24,2 c. Yield of the digestible protein per 1 ha was 4,85 and 1,75 c. accordingly. The chemical composition of oat + Austrian winter pea + mallow mixture showed that per 1 kg of grain silage there was stated 0,26 feeding units, 0,33 kg of dry matter, 44 g of rough matter, 26,4 g of digestible protein, 8 g of crude fat and 64 g of crude fiber. Fodder conservation on the basis of annual legume-grass mixtures harvesting without thrashing made it possible to produce the ecologically safe bulky feed with the minimum 9,5 MJ of energy concentration in 1 kg of dry matter and the minimum content of the digestible protein of 105 g per 1 feeding unit. Application of grain silage in the rations of milking cows made it possible to increase the production profitability level of milk on 8-10% due to the lowering of the prime costs of fodders, lowering of feed consumption and increasing of cow yielding capacity
