The main scientific issue of the Department is Development of national highly effective and ecological feed input with high content of protein and energy, based on the seeds of oil bean crops and fats, to substantiate its applying  of animal and poultry feeding’.

Staff of the Department developed and approved the formula.  For different age and productive groups of mixed fodder which include highly thermal  treated cattle cake and pellet obtained from national varieties of soy-bean seeds, sunflower and rape, and ‘protected’ vegetative and animal fats which significantly increase milk yield of cows, the content of protein and fat in milk, stimulates meat productivity of cattle, improve the quality of beef.
