The cultivation of unconventional feed crops in the North of Kazakhstan allows to use tillage efficiently for the long period for the production of green and preserved balanced fodder. As a green manure after plowing culture to raise the low fertility of the arable land. The aim is a long cultivation of unconventional fodder cultures for profitable and double-cutting production of green and juiced fodder. The tasks are: 1. to estimate the quality of the first cutting by the yield, food-value, economical efficiency; 2. to estimate the quality of the second cutting by the yield, food-value, and economical efficiency. Scientific research of the fodder culture cultivation for the production of green and juicy fodder was carried out from 2010 to 2014 in the conditions of moderate-arid heath of Northern Kazakhstan. The record by the method of field experiment with fodder cultures was made for the comprehensive result estimation. Economic efficiency of culture cultivation for fodder was estimated in terms of technological maps. The yield data was processed by the method of dispersion analysis. According to the results of the first cutting use, among fodder unconventional cultures Highlander Transbaikalia had the greatest output of absolute dry mass with 4.69 t haE−1in the period of stooling, cicer milk vetch had the least output with 1.87 t haE−1. The yield of the second cutting of 2.21 t haE−1was less than the first one with 3.12 t haE−1, at average it was less 1.41 times by the cultures. The economic efficiency of culture cultivation is introduced by low prime cost, $ haE−1 , Highlander Transbaikalia – 2.04, which showed a high profitability of 651%, and a high prime cost of perfoliate prairie and cicer milk vetch – 6.20 showed a low profitability of 148%. Conclusions, characterizing the research, show that the first cutting was used for the green fodder and vitamin-grass flour, as it is used in the period of stooling-budding, the second cutting is used for the production of silage, haylage in the period of flowering. We suggest cultivating these cultures for fodder in the system of conveyor production in Akmolinskaya and Northern-Kazakhstan regions of Kazakhstan.
