CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF FEEDS FOR POULTRY

Abstract

This article analyzes the statistical data on grain and oilseed crops grown in Karakalpakstan. According to statistical results, over the past five years, the following crops have been cultivated in Karakalpakstan: among grain crops—wheat, corn, sorghum, barley, millet, and rice; among oilseed crops—sunflower, sesame, flax, safflower, and peanuts. The chemical composition and nutritional value of each plant were studied. It was noted that oilseed crops have higher protein, fiber, and fat content, while grain crops contain more carbohydrates. In terms of energy exchange value, the highest indicator was found in sesame (720 kcal), while the lowest was in sunflower meal (210 kcal).
