Summary

Continuous green fodder conveyor production system allows quality fodder supply during the grazing season. Field trials were conducted in Dagestan, the North Caucasus, Russia, with Red Steppe cattle. Data are tabulated on sowing dates and period of use of fodder crops, i.e. natural pastures, winter rape, winter rye + winter vetch, pea-oat + vetch-oat, regrowth of perennial grasses after hay cutting, Sudan grass, maize and maize + Sudan grass, sorghum, regrowth of Sudan grass and sorghum, maize sown after winter cereals grown for green fodder, maize and sorghum grown for silage for additional feed rations, winter rye after pea + oat, squash, pumpkin, fodder watermelon and fodder beet, and regrowth of natural pastures and meadows. The importance of natural pastures and drought resistant plants, such as sorghum crops, for production of high yield of fodder in dry conditions of Dagestan is considered.
