The vitamin additives to winter rations are known not to be enough to substitute the vitamins of green fodder due to special effects of chlorophyll, carotene, vitamins and other intact bioactive components in fresh summer greencrops, destroyed under any conservation. We developed the equipment and technology for cultivation of vitamin green fodder. To produce the vitamin green fodder, the cereal seeds (oats, barley, wheat or their mixture) are used. The procedure is efficient and allows getting a required amount of vitamin green fodder (for individual or commercial use) regardless of the time of year and weather conditions, and at the lowest expenses for energy. The total effective square of the unit makes about 15 m2, with a module square about 5,0 m2. On chemical composition, the vitamin green fodder exceeds any natural and concentrated fodder. The output of vitamin green fodder makes 100 kg per shelves, or 350-400 kg per a module with 15-20 kg of seeds being used. A verification of the efficiency of the vitamin green fodder as an additive was carried out at industrial farms on pigs and piglets, and its high effect was shown.

Keywords: vitamin green fodder, modular installation, rack, seeds of grain crops, exposure time, the chemical composition, vitamins.
