GRAINS BIOACTIVATION WITH USING OF FRUIT ACIDS

Abstract

Bioactivation of different crops grain is a promising area for improving agricultural technologies. Safe and highly effective bioactivators accelerate biological processes in grain, which must be taken into account when using it in feeding farm animals. The scientific work objective was the selection of safe bioactivators that would not have a negative effect on animals. The use of organic acids was proposed such as citric, malic and grape with a given concentration of active substances. This technological solution allows to intensify the biological processes in the grain material, namely, to cause the enzymatic depolymerization of grain or the crops germination intended for animal feeding. In addition, fruit acids partially disinfect the grain surface and inhibit the development of pathogenic microflora. The presented organic acids and their solutions are recommended for processing grain before feeding, by spraying or one-time soaking in aqueous solutions of these acids. The studies were carried out on the basis of the scientific and production laboratory for determining the quality of grain and grain products of the Dnieper State Agrarian and Economic University. Growth stimulants were characterized by a stable effect and low toxicity. They can be used both in agriculture and in the bioactivated grain production for other technologies.
