The traditional technique for preparing the feed for animals consists in crushing the vegetable raw mass and fermentative hydrolysis.

The developers of the new technique propose that the fermentative hydrolysis should be carried out by adding to the vegetable raw mass a previously prepared agent based on the contents of the caecum of a common vole Microtus arvalis in amount of 5-10 percent of the total mass, stirring the agent together with the vegetable raw mass, seasoning the mixture obtained for 1-3 days followed by continuous rinsing it with tap water at a temperature of 35-37^oC. The second variant of the technique provides for making the agent by growing it from the bacterial flora of the caecum of a common vole Microtus arvalis on a nitrogen-free cellulose-containing substratum. The third variant employs cellulose-containing waste, such as straw, sawdust and cellulose industry wastes (as unbleached eucalyptus cellulose) or paper industry waste as a vegetable raw mass.
