Broadleaf and vetch  cv. Lvivyanka) as a part of silage-concentrate-root ration in the conditions of Precarpathians area(comparatively to corn silage) are investigated and influence of its feeding on the milk productivity level and milk quality characteristics are also studied.It was established that the total yield of natural milk per 1 head increased to 8,6 %, and in recount to fat content of 4,0–13,4 %; the average yield increased respectively by 8,6 % and to 4,0% fat – 13,7%.Analysis of milk quality characteristics proves an advantage experimental group to control. In particular, the content of fat and protein in the milk of cows increased to 0,16 %. The part of dry matter increased to 0,2 %. Absolute acidity values were within normal limits. There was a tendency to increase the of milk sugar content and ash in the cows milk of experimental group. The content of calcium in the cows milk of the experimental group increased to 0,04 %. The milk of the experimental group cows dominated control by milk density and phosphorus content without reliable difference.The cost of feed units per 1 kg of milk produced in the experimental group were lower by 1,3 %. The expenditure of digestible protein per 1 kg of milk in the control was 71,0 g vs. 77,0 g in the experiment. The difference in absolute values was 6.0 g (8.5%) in favor of the experimental group.Thus, the use in feeding dairy cows vetch-barley increases the average daily milk yield and milk quality characteristics for almost the same cost of feed per unit, compared to corn analogue.It was recommended adding to the structure of silage-concentrate-root ration of dairy cows in winter-stalled period of maintenance in the area of Precarpathians silage from the barley cv. Broadleaf and the vetch cv. Lvivyanka. In the structure of the feed mix for barley should be 75 %, and on the vetch – 25 %. In the average the component composition of the nutritional ration should consist of: hay – 8–9%, straw – 1,5–2, beet feed – 9–10, vetch-barley silage – 41–46, mixed fodder – 32–33, molasses – 2–2,5 %.
