The organization of scientifically justified feeding of farm animals with compound feed enriched with oilseed processed products as an energy component and a probiotic component contributing to the regulation of homeostasis processes becomes important in modern conditions of animal husbandry production. At the same time, a special role is given to the application of rapeseed products, meals in particular, in feed rations. Rapeseed meal contains protein, carbohydrates, fats, phospho-containing substances in a concentrated form, which expands the possibilities of the raw material base for the development of compound feed recipes that meet the requirements of complete nutrition for animals. The dosage of rapeseed meal (10%) introduction into the composition of compound feed for young rabbits based on the animals receiving nutrients in accordance with the existing feeding standards was substantiated in the work. Evaluation of the effectiveness of the obtained granulated feed was carried out on a clinically healthy livestock of rabbits in the amount of 60 heads, which were divided into 4 groups. The best indicators of meat productivity (slaughter yield 69.80%, meat index 4.40) were obtained with the introduction of the probiotic preparation "Probion - Forte" at a dosage of 0.5 g / kg of feed and rapeseed meal in an amount of 10% to the feed mass. The application of the developed complete granulated feed made it possible to achieve a high degree of the diet protein component concentration in the muscle tissue of experimental rabbits, which indicates a higher nutritional and biological value of the meat resources obtained.
