Marina Smirnova, Chief Agrochemist, Department of Toxicological and Radiological Research and Environmental Protection, Agrochemical Service Center Omsky FSBI:
"Leaders and leading experts of the industry focused on the quality of the forage base of domestic livestock: it's compliance with technology for harvesting coarse and juicy feed, this is the use of quality mixed fodders and feed additives in the diet. Accredited laboratories now exist in many regions of the country, laboratories have technical resources and personnel and personnel potential for expert examination of feeds, supplements for all critical parameters. Unfortunately, not all cattle breeders use the resources of laboratories. In this case, it is wrong to evaluate according to the principle of "expensive or cheap". It is necessary to think about the efficiency or inefficiency of feeds. The conference participants focused the attention of livestock producers on the growth of natural production through the observance of technologies for keeping and feeding cattle."
