The results of the development of the method for determining the mass fraction of silicium in powder samples of feed additives by the titrimetric method are presented in the article. The implementation and validation of the method was carried out with the use of feed additive of mixed type "Mikasil" produced by LLC «Globus», Ukraine. The procedure was reproduced ten times with the determination of the mass fraction of siliciumin two parallel samples. The method is based on the precipitation of silicic acid in the form of silicium-fluoride of potassium, followed by hydrolysis with hot water in the presence of chlorous calcium. The isolated hydro-chloric acid in an amount equivalent to the content of hydro-fluoric acid is titrating with alkali solution in the presence of an indicator. The results of the studies showed that the specified method for determining the mass fraction of silicium meets the standards of accuracy control for this method, namely the standard quadratic deviation (σ) is 0.52, when norm up to 0.7, when determined in two parallel samples. The results obtained indicate that the titrimetric method for determining the mass fraction of silicium in powder samples of feed additives is accurate, reliable, reproducible and economically available.

Abstract Background: Phytase-based preparations are important feed additives currently authorised in the European Union (EU). The European Standard (EN) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 30024 describes a harmonized method for the determination of phytase activity and is fit-for-purpose for official control of a group of phytase products. However, it is not suitable for the determination of the phytase activity of a new feed additive encoded as 4a16 in the EU Register of Feed Additives, to which a slightly different phytase activity definition has been attributed. Objective: To establish a robust conversion factor to support official control laboratories that apply the EN ISO method when monitoring feed products containing 4a16. Methods: The phytase activity of test materials was determined by the participants using the EN ISO and/or the “applicant” methods. Results: Robust relative SDs for repeatability and for reproducibility of the methods applied for the determination of the phytase activity in the materials containing the 4a16 feed additive ranged from 2.6 to 22% (EN ISO method) and from 2.4 to 39% (applicant method). Conclusions: The data obtained confirmed the performance characteristics published for other phytase-based feeds in the related standard methods. These results allowed us to estimate a factor of 2.68 to convert phytase activities measured with the EN ISO method into the enzyme activity measured with the applicant method. Highlights: The obtained conversion factor will allow EU official laboratories to screen feed samples supplemented with the 4a16 phytase by applying EN ISO Standard 30024.

The article presents a literature review on the need to balance feed on L-arginine content, its characteristics, ways to supplement the diet of animals and poultry, as well as modern methods for quantitative determination of L-arginine in food, pharmaceuticals, etc. In the section «Materials and methods» the characteristic of the developed test technique, parameters of carrying out research, calibration characteristics with application of a standard sample of L-arginine and carrying out tests of amino acid content in a feed additive by means of system of capillary electrophoresis «Kapel-105M» are given. A description of the validation characteristics performed in the process of validation of the method is given. As a result of the conducted researches the technique of definition of the content of L-arginine in feed additives by means of a method of capillary electrophoresis is developed. The test procedure is based on the dissolution of the feed additive sample, further separation and quantification of the free form of L-arginine, its identification by individual absorption at a wavelength of 200 nm, temperature in the working capillary 30 ºC, voltage 25 kV and conductive electrolyte. The results of validation of this technique by the following characteristics are presented: repeatability, reproducibility, trueness, linearity, limit of quantification, budget uncertainty. The values of trueness, repeatability, reproducibility and uncertainty of the method (with a confidence level of (P) 0.95) does not exceed 5.0 %, the hypothesis of Linearity is acceptable, calculated on the basis of standard deviation (SD) limit of quantification for determining the content of arginine are satisfactory. The results allow us to conclude that the method of capillary electrophoresis using the device «Kapel-105M» is quite accurate and reliable in the case of studies of feed additives L-arginine with a content of the main substance of at least 98,0 %.

The conducted research was aimed at determination of the impact produced by feeding protein and mineral feed additive produced out of the primary processing aquatic organisms wastes: sea mussels, red algae as well as of the sea water upon the productivity and non-specific resistance of broiler chickens raised in conditions of the normative and non-normative characteristics of the broiler house microclimate. The feed additive was applied to 20–42 day broiler chickens of “Ross 308” cross. The studied broilers were clinically healthy. Throughout the entire experiment, a series of the sanitary and hygienic microclimate parameters were determined, such as temperature, humidity, rate of changes as well as bacterial contamination of air, content of ammonia and carbon dioxide in air, and illumination of the broiler house. The house temperature was measured every day with the aid of a common spirit-in glass thermometer. Air humidity was established with the aid of an August psychrometer, air draft speed, harmful gas concentrations and illumination indicators were measured in compliance with the generally accepted methods. Bacterial contamination was determined with the use of the method of microorganism precipitation on a solid breeding ground placed in Petri dishes followed by a count of the bacterial colonies per 1 m3. The blood analysis included determination of haemoglobin, erythrocytes and leukocytes. In the blood serum, the lysozyme activity (LABS) and bactericidal activity (BABS) were determined. It was established that enriching the basic ration with the protein and mineral additive in quantity of 7 % in addition to the feed mass under conditions of the normative microclimate produced a positive effect on the growth intensity, livability and non-specific resistance indices of the broiler chickens. Thus, the live weight of broilers was reliably greater by 4.7 % and the livability equalled 100 %. The haemoglobin content was reliably greater by 7.6 %, erythrocytes – by 11.5 %, BABS – by 34.5 % and LABS – by 35.9 % as compared with the control group of broiler chickens. At the same time, when the studied feed additive was fed to broiler chickens kept in the microclimate conditions that did not meet the normative requirements, the reliable difference to the control indices was not established. Hence, the research results have proved that application of the protein and mineral feed additive is effective under the optimal microclimate conditions. High figures of livability and growth intensity of broiler chickens are based on a high resistance which is being formed provided the optimal microclimate and application of feed additives have been provided.

Abstract The main objective of this study was to characterize (chemical, biological, and physical) of Nano Zn-Fitogenik (NZF) synthesized using guava leaves (P. guajava) extracted using water. Among the stages conducted in the study were extraction of guava leaves, NZF biosynthesis using green synthesis method, and evaluation of NZF characteristics. Parameters detected in the evaluation of the chemical and biological characteristics of the NZF used a completely randomized experimental (CRD) design using 2 main factors (unheated water versus hot water), where each experimental unit was repeated 3 times. The results of this study revealed that chemical characterization study showed that NZF contained 0.15% dry matter (DM) of total phenol, 12.68% DM Zn, and 22.12 mg ml−1 of antioxidant activity (IC50). NZF had the ability as an antibacterial agent against Escherichia coli and Salmonella enteridis. FTIR analysis showed that NZF contained phytogenic compounds sourced from guava leaf extract (Psidium guajava). It can be concluded that NZF is a nanoparticle containing Zn and phytogenic compounds (total phenol) which function as an antioxidant and antibacterial. Therefore, NZF has the potential to be used as a feed additive.

The development, testing and introduction into practice of feeding lactating cows of energy feed additives with mineral components for the preparation of compound feeds-concentrates that provide the necessary amount of energy and minerals, is currently a particularly urgent task. The aim of the work was to study the effect of the energy feed additive "ZeolFat" on the qualitative composition of cow milk in the first phase of lactation. The introduction of energy concentrate in the diet at doses of 200, 400 and 600 g / head per day allowed to increase the content of raw fat by 6.69%, 13.38 and 19.91%; exchange energy by 1.46, 2.92 and 4.37%, respectively. As a result, we observed an increase in the average daily milk yield in the experimental groups, which was (in terms of the basic fat content (3.4%)): in the I-th - 8.1%, in the II-th - 13.7, in the III - th-14.3% compared to the control. Filling the lack of energy and minerals in the diet with the introduction of the studied supplement contributed to a change in the quality composition of milk. In comparison with the control group, the content of dry substances in the milk of cows of the experimental groups was higher by 0.1...0.6%, and the dry skimmed milk residue - by 0.01...0.11 %. There was also a tendency to increase the mass fraction of fat in milk in group I by 0.08 %, in group II-by 0.14 %, in group III-by 0.21 % in relation to the control; an increase in the mass fraction of protein, respectively, by 0.04; 0.12; 0.14 %. The indicators of density and titrated acidity, the level of ketone bodies and acetone in the milk of cows of all groups met the requirements of GOST R 31449-2013. The concentration of urea in the milk of experimental cows was lower than in the control, by 3.46...4.43 %. According to the number of somatic cells, the milk of all cows met the requirements of the highest grade, while in the experimental groups the indicator was lower by 25.6...74.8 %.

AbstractThe rearing of piglets is the most difficult period in the pigs’ production because of their poorly developed digestive system and the low activity of digestive enzymes. Problems in nutrition and stress cause some disorders in the functioning of the digestive system leading to diarrhea and the mortality of piglets. Starting in 2006 in the EU, a total ban on antibiotics in their use as growth promoters was introduced. Since then, new and safe feed additives have been sought in order to replace antibiotics. Organic and inorganic acids as well as their salts were recognized as effective and safe additives. Due to their properties, they can improve feed palatability and digestibility, reduce the buffer capacity of feed, impact the development and functioning of the pig’s digestive system and improve the health and growth parameters. However, the effectiveness of acids is related to their qualitative and quantitative share in the feed additive. In this review, some strategies for using organic acids, their mixtures and also some new multi-component products will be discussed.

Изучена целесообразность использования в рационах телят черно-пестрой породы комплексной минерально-витаминной кормовой добавки (КМВКД). Установлено пониженное содержание в кормах таких элементов, как кальций, фосфор, магний, сера, марганец, медь, цинк и кобальт. Соотношение питательных и минеральных веществ, степень их доступности для усвоения организмом не обеспечивают их потребность. Использование КМВКД способствовало улучшению всех гематологических показателей. Все испытываемые рецепты, имеющие в своем составе разные варианты макро-, микроэлементов и витаминов положительно влияют на обменные про- цессы в организме животных. У молодняка опытной группы, получавшей подкормку по рецепту 1, количество эритроцитов в сравнении с животными контрольной группы увеличилось на 6,6, гемоглобина на 6,93 соответственно, по рецепту 2 11,05 и 11,39 по рецепту 3 16,75 и 15,27, то есть соотношение макро- и микроэлементов, имеющихся в составе КМВКД и взаимодействие между собой меди, железа и кобальта сыграли особую роль на концентрацию форменных элементов. У молодняка, получавшего подкормку по рецепту 1 количество общего белка в сравнении с животными контрольной группы увеличилось на 1,99, кальция на 16,02, каротина на 10,92 соответственно, по рецепту 2 4,91, 25,96 и 19,12 по рецепту 3 на 3,58, 27,07 и 20,21. Значительное повышение содержания белка, кальция, фосфора и каротина по сравнению с животными контрольной группы объясняется тем, что недостаток их в рационах восполнялся за счет используемой подкормки, в результате их содержание увеличилось в сыворотке, но не выходило за пределы нормативных данных и соответствовало физиологическим нормам.Practicability of using a complex mineral and vitamin feed additive (CMVFA) in the ration of black-and-white calf breed was studied. Decreased content of such elements as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulfur, manganese, copper, zinc, and cobalt was registered. The correlation of nutritive and mineral substances, and the level of their availability for digestion did not provide for their need. CMVFA use facilitated the increase of all hematologic parameters. Tested recipes which had different content of sapropel and zeolite, as well as various types of macronutrients, microelements, and vitamins, positively influenced the digestive processes in animal bodies. Young stock from the test group that was receiving food additives according to recipe No. 1 showed 6.6 increase in the quantity of red blood cells compared to control group animals, and 6.93 increase in hemoglobin quantity the ones who were fed according to recipe No. 2 demonstrated the increase by 11.05 and 11.39 recipe No. 3 showed 16.75 and 15.27 increase, which means that the ratio of macronutrients and microelements present in CMVFA and the mutual interaction of copper, iron, and cobalt played a special role in the concentration of formed elements due to the fact that they are integral elements of blood. Total protein of young stock that was receiving food additives according to recipe No. 1 was 1.99 higher than in test group animals calcium 16.02 higher carotene 10.92 as for recipe No. 2 the values were increased by 4.91, 25.96, and 19.12 recipe No. 3 3.58, 27.07, and 20.21. Substantial increase in the content of protein, calcium, phosphorus, and carotene compared to control group animals can be explained by the fact that their insufficiency in animal feed was replenished due to the use of feed additives, and as a result their content increased in the serum but did not go beyond the norm and corresponded to physiological norms.
