In the Middle Volga region, galega orientalis is used as a promising fodder crop for the legume family. The main disadvantage of galega orientalis is poor silage due to the low sugar content in plants. To eliminate this drawback, Laxil and Silostan biologics have been developed, which are based on live cultures of lactic acid bacteria. The aim of the research was to study the influence of haylage from galega orientalis, prepared with the addition of biological preservatives to the green mass, on milk productivity and milk quality of Holstein cows. In the experimental groups, compared with the control, the quality of haylage, indicators of scar metabolism, digestibility of nutrients in the diet, milk productivity of cows and milk quality were studied. It was found that in 1 kg of silage of the experimental trenches, the contents of metabolic energy, digestible protein, crude fiber were higher. With the inclusion of silage in the ration, the number of bacteria, ciliates, the content of protein nitrogen, the proportion of acetic acid in the composition of volatile fatty acid (VFA) were increased in the rumen fluid in cows. Cows better digested the dry matter of feed, crude protein, and crude fiber. As a result, the yield of milk of cows for 305 days of lactation in terms of basic fat and protein was higher by 11.6-15.9%. The chemical composition and physical properties of milk have improved by all studied indicators.

The purpose of the study is to improve the property of eastern galega haylage by using verdant grass preservative applicator and biologies. Iit was established that the eastern galega verdant grass, because of the low sugar con-tent, is not good for state hay purchasing due to the of the obtained results. The biological preservative applicators use for state hay purchasing significantly improves the quality of feed. The preservatives use for verdant grass al-lowed to increase the active acidity of the finished feed in the range between 6.3 to 11.2%, the content of lactic acid – 0.51-0.84 per cent and to reduce the content of acetic acid by 0.19 and 0.27%, respectively. The proportion of lactic acid in the total volume of organic acids was increased by 13.03-16.88%.The nutritional value of haylage with bio-logical preservative applicants increased due to augment of the dry content by 1.7-3.2%, EKE – by 4.4-11.1%, crude protein – by 4.3-10.1%, digestible protein – by 7.4-14.7%.The coefficient of digestibility in the diet of dry con-tent increased by 1.14-3.19%, crude protein – by 2.14-3.62%, crude fat – by 1.64-4.09%, crude fiber – by 1.74-3.87%, BEV – by 2.05-4.13%, which is very important for animal feeding. The use of haylage with a preservative in the diet of cows from experimental groups increased the fat content in milk by 0.03-0.08%, protein – by 0.04-0.10%, and casein contained – by 0.07-0.18%. Rennet additive apply helps milk to coagulate faster by 2.3-4.5 min (6.6-12.8%), and decrease losses of dry content with serum by 1.5-3.0%. The dry content mass in the experimental samples of cheese increased by 2.8-4.7%, fat – by 1.6-2.7%, protein – by 0.7-1.6%, the degree of cheese maturity improved. The «Milostan and Loktantra + zeolite» preservatives provide better properties for products produced.

The peculiarities of the formation of colostrum in the udder of cows and the immune status in the body of calves in the first hours and days after birth, when included in the diet of cows, haylage from eastern goat’s rue prepared with the use of bio-preservatives “Silostan” (group II) and “GreenGrass 3 × 3”(Group III). The study of colostrum of the first milk yield showed that feeding cows with silage with the bio-preservative “Silostan” contributed to an increase in the content of immunoglobulins by 4.0% (Р<0,001), with bio-preservative “GreenGras 3 × 3” - by 5.3% (Р<0,001). After drinking the first portion of colostrum, immunoglobulins appear in the blood serum of calves after 2 hours. After 6 hours, the content of immunoglobulins in the blood serum of calves of group II was 21.9% higher than in group I (haylage without preservative) (P < 0.05), group III - by 27.1% (P <0.001). The proportion of calves with an immunoglobulin content 6 hours after the first feeding with colostrum not more than 6.0 mg / ml, decreased in group II by 12.0%, in group III - by 20.0%.
