Article presents the modes how to use reclaimed lands for purposes of meadow fodder production and recommendations how to obtain feed of exchange energy of at least 10.0–10.5 MJ in 1 kg of dry mass, compositions of meadow herbages which save its productivity despite the method of use. In the case of three cuts legume-cereal herbage with two types of legume grasses (clover creeping and clover meadow) as well as alfalfa formed crop with crude protein of 716–834 kg per ha.
