The system approach of flow feed production is justified. A comparative assessment of selected types of feed crops is given to select the most efficient sources of flow feed production, taking into account local management conditions. It has been shown that the basis of the raw material flow is not only ensuring stability in the production of feed for public livestock, but also improving the quality components of the feed diet, especially in terms of the content of digested protein and sugar. Economic efficiency assessment of flow feed production is given.
