The article presents the results of research that show: with different exchangeable energy in the recipes of the rations of young animals in the winter stable period and when they go on summer green fodder to cultivated pastures, during 171 days of the 1st pasture period, the average daily gains of the animals of the II research group amounted to 900 g and, respectively 877 – 883 g in the control, and with an increase in ration recipes by 15-20% of exchangeable energy with hay instead of an equivalent amount of concentrated fodder in the 1-winter period up to 3 months of age in the bulls of the II experimental group, the daily gains amounted to 1177 g, which was by 66 g (5.9%) more than those from analogues of the control group, which were given concentrated feed. Research has shown that during the entire period of the experiment, the daily gains of the bulls of the 1st research group amounted to 894 g, which is 101 g (12.7%) and 54 g (6.4%) more compared to the control and 1st research groups in the region of Bukovyna. Research has established that the best economic indicators were obtained in the I and II experimental groups, in which the feed costs per 1 kg of live weight gain were 10.0 and 7.7 feed units with profitability of cultivation 45.3 and 55.8%.
