The level of yielding and biological capacity of grass mixtures of feeding crops (common ryegrass (Lolium perenne); spring vetch (Vicia); Austrian winter pea (Pisum arvense); blue lupine (Lupinus angustifolius); common barley (Hordeum vulgare)) in the conditions of the Northern part of the Republic of Belarus and their quality evaluation were studied. The optimum temperature of seed germination at the seeding depth and the sufficient amount of moisture in soil provided high germination rate. Nitric fertilizer application and crop sowing in the conditions of various coenosis did not affect seed germination. The quantity of shoots predetermined the optimum plant stand density and made it possible to generate high green mass productivity. Formation of a high green mass yield in single-crops sowings of annual ryegrass was obtained against the background of minimum 180 kg of primary nutrients of nitric fertilizers per 1 ha, taking into consideration that the amount of crop tops increases in 3 times in comparison with crops without nitric fertilizers. Inclusion bean component into the grass mixture (even without nitrogen application) made it possible to generate the level of top biomass by three hay crops from 40,2 up to 55,4 t/ha. However, application of mineral nitrogen for cultivation of leguminous and cereal crop mixtures with overgrassing of annual ryegrass made it possible to increase the green mass productivity. Inclusion of a bean component into a grass mixture rendered influence on the amount of digestible protein. The highest protein yield was provided by high yielding crops with content of spring vetch on the background of mineral nitrogen (0,9 t/ha). In coenosis with pea and lupine mixtures provided protein content of 0,8 t/ha

For the successful decision of pressing questions of manufacture of cattle-breeding production in the field of biochemistry in whole and molecular biology in particular in-depth studies are necessary. Progress and achievements in this area are closely connected with development of new research methods. One of them is studying of proteins-lectines. Lectines, entering into structure of plant tissues, microorganisms, animal, take part in regulation of their metabolism, and also in protection against some agents of environment. On the other hand, lectines, being allocated from live objects, are the valuable biochemical reagents which use is perspective in experimental cytochemistry, in diagnostics and treatment of some animal diseases, in biotechnological processes of allocation of some difficult hydrocarbon-bearing substances. Result of the spent research was the comparative characteristic of hemagglutinin activity of phytolectines of some bean and grain crops in relation to cattle erythrocytes and precipitated with and D-yeast cellulose. Intensive precipitation with a 1-4 D-yeast cellulose was observed at its interaction with soya and wheat pectins, and less expressed - at interaction with string bean and barley pectins. It is established, that by the basic structural element of erythrocytes glycocalyx which detect soya, string beans, wheat and barley phytolectines, are monomeasures of glucose or its derivatives. The given interactions of phytolectines with a 1-4 D-yeast cellulose are presented, hemagglutination curves by results of turbodimetria are shown | Для успешного решения актуальных вопросов производства животноводческой продукции необходимы глубокие исследования в области биохимии в целом и молекулярной биологии в частности. Прогресс и достижения в этой области науки тесно связаны с развитием новых методов исследований. Одним из них является изучение белков-лектинов. Лектины, входя в структуру тканей растений, микроорганизмов, животных, принимают участие в регулировании их метаболизма, а также в защите от некоторых агентов внешней среды. С другой стороны, лектины, будучи выделенные из живых объектов, являются ценными биохимическими реагентами, использование которых перспективно в экспериментальной цитохимии, в диагностике и лечении некоторых болезней животных, в биотехнологических процессах выделения некоторых сложных углеводсодержащих веществ. Результатом проведенных исследований явилась сравнительная характеристика гемагглютинирующей активности фитолектинов некоторых бобовых и зерновых культур по отношению к эритроцитам крупного рогатого скота и преципитирующая с а 1-4 D-глюканом. Интенсивная преципитация a 1-4 D-глюкана наблюдалась при его взаимодействии с пектинами сои и пшеницы, и менее выраженная - при взаимодействии с пектинами фасоли и ячменя. Установлено, что основным структурным элементом гликокалекса эритроцитов, который детектируют фитолектины сои, фасоли, пшеницы и ячменя, являются мономеры глюкозы или ее производные. Приведены данные взаимодействия фитолектинов с а 1-4 D-глюканом, показаны кривые гемагглютинации по результатам турбодиметрии

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was determined the productivity and foraging advantages of fodder galega (Galega officinalis) in comparison with the traditional perennial leguminous grasses (alfalfa (Medicago sativa); alsike clover (Trifolium hybridum); cookshead (Onobrychis viceaefolia)) and influence of the analyzed crop of state and internal microbiota of agricultural animals. There was studied the qualitative structure of galega in accordance with the phases of crop development and its influence on physiological functions of animals. It is established, that in the conditions of northern region of Belarus the fodder galega provided the yielding capacity of dry matter of 11,3 t/ha that exceeded the indices of alfalfa on 13,9%, alsike clover - in 2,7 times and cookshead - in 2,1 times. By the third decade of May it formed 18-20 tons green mass that made it possible to feed animals on 10-15 days earlier, than with other leguminous grasses. High degree of leafage (65,7%) preconditioned its high nutritional value. Fodder galega has high level of calcium, potassium, phosphorus and some microelements: copper, zinc, manganese, cobalt. Studying of vitamin value of fodder galega showed that its green mass was vitamin-rich, had enough of irreplaceable amino acids. It was established, that hay of fodder galega had high level of the non-decomposed protein (68,6-71%) that was very important for feeding of highly productive cows. It increased the level of crude protein in experimental animals on 8%.

Results of studies of the influence of two biological products produced on the basis of sapropel (putrid mud) of the Ganarata lake (Mostovski district, the Republic of Belarus) on quality of legume-grass silage were presented. It was established, that analyzed preparations could be used as the preserving agents for preparation of herbal forages. The preserving action of the preparations was caused by the intensification of lactic bacteria development in silaging mass for the account of humic acids, as well as by the fungicidal action of phenolic and carboxylic fractions of the preparation. Silage preparation in combinations with putrid mud preparations made it possible to lower the losses of a crude protein on 11,3-15,6%, sugar - on 33,3%, carotin - on 20% and to obtain forage with concentration of exchange energy 9,20-9,38 mJ per 1 kg of dry matter. Silage application in combination with biological products rendered positive impact on milking efficiency of cows, the average daily milk yields in the experimental cow groups were on 1,3-1,4 kg or 6,8-7,3% higher. Application of higher quality feeds made it possible to lower the expenses of forages on 0,04 fodder units. Research results proved that the analysed preparations from sapropel could be used as an efficient conservants for silage preparations. They made it possible to raise forage quality at the minimum expenses

Studying of the comparative productivity of various species and varieties of perennial grasses for the selection of the most productive species and increasing of production capacity of well-balanced feeds with low prime cost was realized in the conditions of sod-podzolic loamy soils of Vitebsk region of the Republic of Belarus. In course of study there were analyzed the following grasses: meadow clover (Trifolium pratense); creeping trefoil (Trifolium repens); great trefoil (Medicago sativa); timothy grass (Phleum pratense); meadow fescue grass (Festuca pratensis); chewing fescue (Festuca rubra); cock's-foot (Dactylis glomerata); common ryegrass (Lolium perenne); meadow foxtail (Alopecurus pratensis); awnless brome (Bromus inermis Leyss), and hybrid of fescue grass and perennial ryegrass. Studying of soil and climatic conditions in the analyzed area showed that leguminous grasses had higher yielding capacity than the cereal ones. After the 4-year observation the studied leguminous grasses provided higher yielding indexes in comparison with the cereal ones per 1 gram: dry matter – on 14,9%; available energy - on 29,7%; crude protein – on 44,7%. For the production of green mass in the conditions of Vitebsk region into the basis of planning of green and raw materials conveyor system there should be taken into consideration terms of beginning of hay cutting ripening of perennial leguminous and bluegrass grasses. Cereal grasses showed higher indexes of sugar content in 1,8 times in comparison with leguminous ones. For the provision of standard content of sugars and digestible protein in energy fodder unit it was reasonable to form grass mixtures on the basis leguminous and bluegrass grasses in ratio 60% and 40% respectively
