One of the ways to increase the economic efficiency of the livestock industry is to actively involve natural forage lands in the formation of the fodder base of farms. The total area of such lands in Ukraine is approximately 7.8 million hectares, including 1 million hectares in the right-bank forest-steppe. However, their average productivity rarely exceeds 1.0–1.2 t/ha of feed units.The nutritional value and productivity of perennial forage grasses significantly depend on soil and climatic conditions, species and varietal composition of meadow grasses, the mode of their use, norms and terms of application of mineral fertilizers and other agronomic techniques.
