Abstract. Organic livestock farming technologies are based on reducing the environmental and anthropogenic impact in the process of agricultural production. The purpose of the research was to study the prospects for the use and processing of plant-based feed resources and the potential for their use in organic livestock farming in Mongolia and Altai. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that for the first time, studies were conducted on the nutritional value – chemical, mineral and vitamin composition of meals obtained during the processing of sea buckthorn and rose hips, which are subsequently used in cattle feeding. The objects of the study were: meals from sea buckthorn and rose hips obtained in the production conditions of “Altayvitaminy” CJSC (Biysk), a water-dispersed mixture (porridge) obtained by dispersing a mixture of wheat, oats and barley grains. Methods. The evaluation of the feeding efficiency of grain porridge obtained by dispersing the grain mixture was carried out on the basis of the Agricultural production cooperative (APC) “Zarya” in the Togul district of the Altai Territory, as well as on Mongolian dairy cows of the Individual enterprise (IE) “Amra” of the Khovd aimag (Khovd city, Mongolia). To determine the efficiency of palatability and feeding of animals with porridge from a mixture of grains after dispersion, with and without the addition of sea buckthorn meal, it was carried out in the production conditions of the APC “Zarya”. To check the efficiency of feeding the mixture of grains after grinding and dispersion in the conditions of the Khovd aimag of the Mongolia in IE “Amra”. The chemical composition and nutritional value of meals from the processing of sea buckthorn berries and rose hips were studied in the laboratory of the Federal Altai Scientific Center for Agrobiotechnology and the Central Scientific and Industrial Veterinary Radiological Laboratory using standard methods. Based on the results of the experiment, it was established that a modern method of processing plant starch-containing raw materials – grain based on hydrodynamic dispersion allows, through mechanical hydrolysis, to destroy polysaccharides of plant resources (starch, fiber), making them more accessible for digestion and assimilation by animals, thereby making the diet more complete and balanced.
