Fodder production for cattle feeding at Family farm Janko Lomjansky from Ilok

Cilj istraživanja bio je prikazati proizvodnju krme za potrebe hranidbe goveda na OPG-u Janko Lomjansky iz Iloka. Terensko istraživanje provedeno je putem višekratnih izlazaka na proizvodne površine istraživanog gospodarstva, proizvodne objekte (staje) i skladišta. Utvrđeno je da OPG Lomjansky ostvaruje srednje visoku razinu proizvodnje mlijeka (prosječno oko 18 l/dan/grlu) i zadovoljavajući prirast tjelesne mase teladi (oko 1 kg/dan/grlu) i junica (oko 1,2 kg/dan/grlu). OPG za hranidbu goveda u toploj polovici godine koristi ispašu s trajnih travnjaka, a u hladnoj polovici spremljeno sijeno i sjenažu lucerne, crvene djeteline i livadnih trava te silažu nadzemne mase kukuruza i kupovni koncentrat. Travnjačke površine su se pokazale više nego dostatnima za potrebe ispaše, kao i ukupne površine OPG-a za cjelogodi9šnju hranidbu. Kao najvažnija mjera za poboljšanje poslovanja preporučuje se uvođenje silažnog kukuruza u plodored radi povećanja proizvodnje suhe tvari krmiva i probavljive energije.The aim of the research was to present the production of the fodder for cattle feeding on OPG Janko Lomjansky from Ilok. Field research was carried out through multiple expeditions to the production areas of the explored economy, production facilities (stalls) and warehouses. It was found that Family farm Lomjansky achieved a medium high level of milk production (approximately 18 l/day/head) and a satisfactory body weight gain of calves (about 1 kg/day/head) and heifers (about 1,2 kg/day/head). Family farm for cattle feeding in the warm half of the year uses pasture, whilst in the cold half the hay and the haylage of alfalfa, red clover and meadows, along with the maize silage and bought-in concentrates. The permanent grassland surfaces proved to be more than adequate for grazing, as well as the total area of the Farm for the whole-year feeding of forages. As the most important measure to improve the business, it is recommended to include silage maize in crop rotation in order to increase the yield of forages and digestible energy
