Feeding technology for dairy cows using Onix soybean cakes
The treatment didn’t have a significant influence on the physico-chemical parameters of the milk,
except for the milk fat percentage, which was significantly lower in the experimental group (3.71%)
compared to the control group (4.08%).

The average daily milk yield was similar (~19 l/day) in
both groups, with a slight increase (about 5%) compared
to the initial production, in both groups.

The cost of the control compound feed was 1.35 lei/kg.
The cost of the experimental compound feed was 1.33 lei/kg.
The spring vetch and the haylage were produced at a cost of 0.5 lei/kg, and0.2 lei/kg, respectively.

The health state of the animals was not affected by the treatment, allbiochemical parameters being within the normal range. The economicefficiency of both diets was similar, with an average cost of 0.85 lei/lmilk.
CLA and arachidic acid among the polyunsaturated fatty acids, and part of the saturated fatty acids.
This is so because of the similar fatty acids profile between the two studied sources. Although much of the linolenic acid is converted into
a saturated part by biohydrogenation, small but significant parts escape the ruminal metabolism and are absorbed sequentially by the small intestine. Hence, it is possible to have changes in the fatty acids
composition in the tissue lipids using this feeding treatment.
Feeding technology for pigs:
Feeding solution for reproduction sows using Jubileu hemp seeds.
Use of Jubileu hemp seeds in suckling piglets and for weaning piglets, as well as for growing piglets, with effects on the animal products
Jubileu hemp seeds used in lactating sows diets has a beneficial influence on milk protein and milk fat, due to the high consumption of
these nutrients, and to the biological value of the hemp seeds. Furthermore, milk fatty acids composition was changed beneficially in n-3
fatty acids, with beneficial effects on the suckling piglets.
The quality of the dietary fat bears on piglet performance. The average litter was of 12. The additional hemp seeds increased 1.17 times
the average daily weight gain of the piglets after 7 days.
In the growing-fattening piglets, the body weight, the average daily weight gain, the feed intake and the feed conversion ratio were not
significantly affected by the dietary 5% hemp seeds. The average daily weight gain was 6% higher in the treated animals, while the feed
conversion ratio was 12% lower. The diet rich in n-3 FA changed significantly PUFA concentration in Longissimus dorsi muscle, particularly
n-3 PUFA (3.31 times higher in the experimental group) with no significant change in pig performance. The higher n-3 PUFA content, mainly
due to the α-linolenic FA (4.54 times higher in the group treated with hemp seeds) reduced significantly n-6:n-3 ratio. The ideal ratio for
human consumers was noticed in the brain, 2.36, followed by the liver. Hemp reduced this ratio by 47%.
Feeding technology for pigs:
Feeding solution for piglets, based on Tudor peas and a mixture of Lirina flax
with Tudor peas (3:1). Micro-trial for in vivo digestibility on male TOPIGS pigs with 36 kg initial weight;
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Dietary level of Tudor peas for growing-fattening
piglets, 16%.
Dietary level of Tudor peas: Lirina flax for growing-
fattening piglets, 12:4 %.
At this level, the rate of N retention id higher (59.57%,
and 53.05%, respectively, compared to 30.23%), which
has a positive influence on the environment.
Feeding technology for pigs:
Feeding solution using Marius millet (25%).
Use of Albanus sorghum, alone or associated with a mixture of 3:1 (8%) Tudor peas and Lirina flax for weaning piglets
RECOMMENDATION
20% Albanus sorghum for weaned
piglets
RECOMMENDATION
25% Marius millet for weaned piglets, and for
growing-fattening pigs.
Feeding technology for broilers:
The use of Tudor peas didn’t produce significant (P>0.05) differences in carcass parameters and in
its major parts (breast, thighs and wings).
The total content of amino acids of the breast muscle (m. Pectoralis major) in group MT (Tudor peas)
was comparable with that from the control group C (79.55% vs. 81.09%; P=0.128).
The total content of essential amino acids was 34.16%, compared to 34.56% in group C (P=0.537),
the differences between groups not being statistically significant.
In group MT, the total content of amino acids in the femoral muscle (m. Biceps fermoris) was similar
(79.97% vs. 73.62%; P=0.984), and the total content of essential amino acids, 31.14% vs. 30.55%
(P=0,547) was similar with group C.
The plasma biochemical parameters at the age of 35 days (Table 12), as reference indicators for the
health state of the broilers, were not affected significantly by the dietary MT, except for the total
protein concentration, which increased significantly (13.2%; P=0.05).
RECOMMENDATION: 20% dietary Tudor peas for broilers.
Feeding solution using Tudor peas (Pisum sativum L.), and its effect on broiler performance, carcass
parameters, biochemical profile, intestinal microflora and meat quality.
Feeding solution for broilers using 20% Burnas chickpea, with or without addition of bacterial preparation based on L. plantarum.
The results of the bacteriological determinations for Coliforms, Clostridium spp., Lactobacillus spp.,Enterococcus spp. and Salmonella spp., are within the normal range, according to the Norm of 15April 2003 published in Monitorul Official nr. 362 bis/28 May 2003.
At the age of 10 and 22 days, broiler bodyweight was not significantly influenced by the source ofdietary protein, the body weight being practically similar in groups M, and M+ (treated withsoybean meal) and groups N and N+ (treated with Burnas chickpea).
In the end of the feeding trial (age of 42 days) the average bodyweight of the broilers from group Nwas 0.70% lower than in group M (differences not statistically significant; P>0.05).
The bacterial culture treatment (Lactobacillus plantarum) of the control diet (M+), and for N+ groupdidn’t have a significant influence on the average bodyweight of the broilers, compared to groups Mnegative and N negative.
Compared to the average body weight of the broilers from groups M, and N, the average bodyweight of the broilers from groups M+ and N+, was 1.51% and 2.37% higher, respectively (P>0.05).

Promoting sorghum cropsThe growing technology for the grain sorghum specific to the soiland climate conditions in central Moldova, a high yield and qualitydemand fertilization with 120 kg/ha active substance nitrogenand phosphors, and the seeding density of 300.000 grains/ha,and the expansion of Albanus hybrid crops.
It is also necessary that the cultivated area expands, because ithas increased resistance to adverse environmental conditions, andits cultivation alleviates the adverse effects of the global warming.
For the silage sorghum in the two agricultural years, werecommend then use of sowing densities higher or equal with250.000 grains/ha and the increased use of the hybrids Fundulea135 ST and Biomass 150.
