Productivity and Quality of the Herbage of the First Year of Life of Perennial Pasture Grass Mixtures Depending on the Species Composition in the Conditions of the Hill-Plain Zone of Northern Kazakhstan

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to develop a multi–year near-village pasture conveyor and increase the productivity and nutritional value of grass mixtures. In the process of conducting the current research, the methods of field experiments generally accepted in agronomy were used, laboratory studies were conducted in an accredited laboratory according to established methods and standards on modern equipment; the objects of research are various types of perennial bluegrass and legume grasses cultivated in grass mixtures. Results and practical significance. The given paper presents an analysis of the laboratory studies on the chemical composition and nutritional value of perennial grasses of the first year of life in mixtures proposed for use in the creation of near-village pastures in the conditions of the hill -plain zone of Northern Kazakhstan. Chemical analysis of plant samples was carried out in the accredited agrochemical laboratory of «AgroComplexExpert» LLP (village of Zhaksy).
