Оценка ресурсного потенциала галофитов Приаралья как альтернативного источника грубых кормов
Assessment of the resource potential of halophytes in the Aral Sea region as an alternative source of roughage
Main Article Content
Abstract
The paper considers the possibility of using kochia (Bassia scoparia) and amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus) on the saline lands of the Aral Sea region as cattle feed. Data on the nutritional value of both crops are summarized, including those obtained in field experiments in Karakalpakstan, and the need to assess the economic feasibility of their use in livestock feeding is substantiated.
