The current trends in agriculture in recent years are to considerably reduce the intake of chemical fertilizers, use of pesticides, and the costs of the energy consumption. Thus, the current focus is directed towards finding technological solutions to meet these requirements. One viable solution is mixes made from annual legumes and grasses. They constitute an important energy-protein source in the nutritional balance of the fodder ration. The purpose of this experiment was to identify the most efficient ratio (forage pea – oats) in terms of dry matter production (DM) and raw protein (CP). In the experimental device, two oat varieties (O) were sown in the spring and then used mixed with a pea variety (P). The proportions in which they were sown are P 33% + O 66%, P 50% + O 50%, P 66% + O 33%. For both varieties of oats, we used the same shares. According to the results obtained, the highest production of dry matter (DM) was obtained with P 50% + O 50% and the highest raw protein content was obtained with M 66% + O 33%.
