Summary

Sapropelic feed additives (SFA) containing mineral and biologically active substances on the basis of local raw materials.

Description

Production of sapropelic feed additives (SFA) containing mineral and biologically active substances on the basis of local raw materials. Introduction of SFA increases productivity of farm animals and decreases production cost of livestock products.

Technology type

Technical advantages and economic benefits

SFA guarantee activation of physiological processes in the organism of an animal leading to a more complete taking of nutrients of the basic diet. The economic effect of using 1 ton of SFA is 80 thousand rubles due to economical consumption of grain.

Technology differentiation and uniqueness

1 kg of local organic raw materials used for SFA production makes it possible to get additional 0.8 kg of meat and extra profit of 63.8 rubles for 1 kg of live weight gain.

Context in which technology was identified

12th International Specialized Exhibition “Chemistry, Oil and Gas”, 27-30.05.2008, Minsk

Technological keywords

Organic raw material, sapropel, food, animal breeding.

Development Stage

Intellectual property rights

Range of applications

Agricultural enterprises engaged in production and processing of sapropel, animal production units and feed-milling establishments.

Classifier Used at the EU Innovation Relay Centres

Preferable Regions

Practical experience

SFA production of at least 12 thousand tons per year with capital investments payback period of 10 years provides annual profit of more than 140 million rubles.

Environmental impact

Sapropelic raw materials from natural sources with subtle degree of modification and absence of synthetic components are used.
