Abstract

The results of studying the feeding conditions and keeping of breeding animals bred on a specialized farm, and moose of the natural population are presented. The forage base of forest pastures was investigated, and the state of natural feeds of farm corrals and adjacent forest areas was studied. It was revealed that feeding elk farm organized by the principle of abundant and varied feeding. The fact of depletion of the natural feed base of pens has been confirmed, the option of increasing its potential by increasing the norm of the area allocated to one breeding individual has been proposed.
