Özet

The planted areas of the perennial herbs in Ukraine reduced significantly the gross harvest of hay, green mass for silage, haylage, grass flour. Consequently, the deterioration of the fodder base has been proven, which negatively affects the development of the livestock industry. A decrease in the number of farm animals was established, which affected the level of production of meat and dairy products of both cattle and sheep, goats, and also entailed a discrepancy between the consumption of meat and milk by the population and the rational norms of human nutrition.
