Description
The work discusses anaerobic fermentation of juice and press cakes of plant green mass in order to obtain stabilized feeds upon minimum energy expenses. We have studied the conversion of carbohydrates into acids, protein coagulation and proteolysis. There has been constructed a new technology "TPF-1". The work deals also with the stability and biological effectivity of the fermented juice and coagulate. Zootechnical experiments on pigs, calves, bull-calves established that a stabilized juice or coagulate can replace upto 30-40% of protein in traditional ratios without a decrease in animal productivity. It was established that, in order to ensure complete wastelessness and isolated the heat energy required for technological needs, leaf protein production should be done together with methane fermentation of wastes. It was demonstrated, that a 75 m3 bioreactor,operating at a thermophylic regime, in 24 hours yields 250-300 m3 of biogas, containing 65-70% of methane. Wastes, fermented in a thermophylic regime, are not detrimental for environment and can be used as liquid fertilizers.
