Studies conducted in farm conditions, the company, OOO PZ «Nasha Rodina» in Sokolovsky village of Gulkevichsky district of Krasnodar region. The aim of the research was to study the use of the PassPro Soy feed product consisting of protected soy protein in the diets of new-bodied highly productive cows. 2 groups of cows of the red-mottled Holstein breed were formed, selected according to the principle of pairs-analogues: by age in calving, calving time, live weight, productivity for the past lactation, fat and protein content in milk. The ration of the first control group was the ration accepted on the farm for newbodied cows. The diet of the second experimental group was the same as in the first control group, only 1.5 kg of compound feed was replaced with 1.5 kg of PassPro Soy, which is a protected soy protein in the form of a 5 mm granule. During the milking period, the daily milk yield of cows in the control group was 30.80±1.07 kg. The daily milk yield of cows of the second group, where 1.5 kg of compound feed was replaced by 1.5 kg of PassPro Soy, significantly increased by 6.6 %. Due to the increase in the gross milk yield, there is a tendency to increase the amount of milk fat in the milk of cows of the second group by 6.9 %, as well as milk protein by 11.3 %. In the experimental group, when replacing 1.5 kg of feed taken on the farm with 1.5 kg of PassPro Soy, milk productivity increased by 2.03 kg. Additional profit from the sale of milk in the experimental group increased by 48.72 rubles. for 1 head per day. The economic efficiency in the second experimental group was 6.30 %.

Изучено влияние на продуктивность коров нового активатора рубцовой микрофлоры — «МегаБуст Румен» (МБР) на основе инактивированного ферментационного экстракта Trichoderma longibrachiantum и специализированного штамма дрожжей Saccharomyces cerevisiae в двух опытах. В первом эксперименте в опытной группе коровы в транзитный период получали по 100 г/день МБР за 7 дней до отела и с 1 по 150-й день лактации, в остальном содержание и кормление животных опытной (n=10) и контрольной (n=10) групп было идентичным. В среднем в сутки коровы в опытной группе давали молока 41,26±0,91 кг при среднем содержании молочного жира 3,8±0,33% и белка 3,34±0,06%, что на 6,81±0,62 кг молока больше (Р<0,05), чем в контрольной группе (34,82±0,78 кг при среднем содержании молочного жира 3,55±0,13 и белка 3,08±0,09%). Использование МБР в опытной группе способствовало существенному увеличению среднесуточного удоя (+1500 кг) в опытной группе по сравнению с контрольной на 1 голову, пересчитанного на содержание жира 3,5%, за первые 150 дней лактации. Экономический эффект применения МБР — это дополнительный чистый доход на 1 голову за период эксперимента — 40037 руб. Во втором опыте, который проводился на всей группе лактирующих коров, при скармливании на 1 голову в сутки 100 г МБР отмечали повышение добровольного потребления сухого вещества (+2 кг СВ), увеличение среднесуточного удоя (+4,4 кг) на 1 голову в день. Возврат инвестиций в активатор рубцовой микрофлоры на 1 руб. составил 12,7 руб. The effect of new rumen microflora activator — MegaBust Rumen (MBR) on the basis of inactivated fermentation extract Trichoderma longibrachiantum and a specialized strain of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae on the cows productivity was studied in two experiments.In the first experiment, in the experimental group, the cows received MBR in the dose 100 g/day in the transit period 7 days before calving and from the 1st to the 150th day of lactation, otherwise the keeping and feeding of the animals of the experimental and control groups were identical. In average, per day, cows in the experimental group gave milk 41.26±0.91 kg with an average content of milk fat of 3.8±0.33% and protein of 3.34±0.06%, which is 6.81±0,62 kg of milk is more (P<0.05) than in the control group (34.82±0.78 kg with an average content of milk fat of 3.55±0.13 and protein of 3.08±0.09%). The use of MBR in the experimental group contributed to a significant increase in the average daily milk yield (+1500 kg) in the experimental group compared to the control for 1 head, calculated on the fat content of 3.5% for the period of first 150 days of lactation. The economic effect of the use of MBR is an additional net income per head for the period of the experiment was — 40037 rubles. In the second experiment, which was conducted on the entire group of lactating cows, when feeding 100 g of MBR per head per day, an increase in voluntary consumption of dry matter (+2 kg DM), an increase in average daily milk yield (+4.4 kg) per 1 head per day were noted . Return on investment in the activator of ruminal microflora by 1 ruble amounted to 12.7 rubles.

The article reviews the effectiveness of the usage of enzyme-probiotic preparations “Rumit” and “Cellobacterin+” in feeding lactating cows. The test of enzyme-probiotic additives was carried out in the fall of 2019 in the conditions of JSC “Plemzavod Rodina” of the Vologda region. To study the impact of additives on the level of milk productivity, three groups of animals were formed by the method of balanced groups taking into account live weight, age, blood count, and productivity. The group of animals that received “Cellobacterin +” as an additive of 50 g per day for each head exceeded the control in terms of daily milk yield by 2.9% with a higher fat content of 0.01% and protein by 0.05% at lower food costs per product unit of 5%. High efficiency was also observed while using“Rumit” in feeding, the daily milk yield of cows’ basic fat contentin the experimental group exceeded the control by 7.4%, the yield of milk fat – by 4.7%, and protein – by 5.6%. Feed costs for products in this group were 7% lower in comparison with the control group. Due to the increase of per day milk productivity from one head, it is possible to get additional profit while feeding “Rumit” in the amount of 24.50 rubles, and while using “Celobacterin+” – 15.44 rubles.

The characteristic of milk productivity of cows of Holstein and Simmental breeds in LLC “Sibirskaya Niva” in the Maslyaninsky district in the Novosibirsk region has been given. It has been revealed that under the natural and climatic environments of the Western Siberia, when creating favorable conditions for feeding and housing for cows of Holstein and Simmental breeds have sufficiently high milk productivity. It has been found that Holstein first-calf heifers surpassed their Simmental herdmates by 959 kg in milk yield for the first 305 days of lactation under the same conditions of housing and feeding, by 3,1 kg in daily milk yield, by 38,2 kg in milk fat yield, and by 28,3 kg in milk protein yield (P < 0,001). There were no statistically significant differences between animals of Holstein and Simmental breeds in terms of fat and protein content in milk, which amounted to 3,94 and 2,96 % in Holstein breed and 3,97 and 2,98 % in Simmental breed, respectively. Both breeds have shown high milk productivity during the first 3 lactations. Thus, the milk yield of Holstein cows for the first 3 lactation was 6475–9290 kg, Simmental cows it was 5516–7680 kg, fat content was 3,93–3,99 and 3,96–3,97 %, respectively. The protein content in the milk of cows of both breeds did not exceed 3,0 %. High variability has been found in milk yield, yield of milk fat and protein, the coefficient of milk content and duration of lactation, the lowest in the content of protein and fat in milk and live weight. The correlation coefficients between the fat and protein content in milk were generally positive, but did not exceed 0,28. Therefore, breeding in the herd of cows in LLC “Sibirskaya Niva” have to be conducted not only by fat content, but also by protein content in milk.

In order to effectively provide the body of cows with energy during the increasing the milk yield without the risk of acidosis, progressive animal breeders of the Altai Territory include wet flattened corn grain in the composition of concentrated feed. The question of the expediency and economic effectiveness of using wet flattened corn grain for cows of various physiological groups – first-calf heifers and mature animals continues to be debatable. Therefore, a comparative assessment of two options for feeding wet flattened corn grain to cows under the conditions of the Altai Territory is considered promising in modern animal husbandry and is of great practical interest. The purpose of the work was to identify the optimal and economically feasible option for using wet flattened corn grain in the rations of lactating cows. When using wet flattened corn grains in an amount of 7,1 % of the nutritional value of the ration the first-calf heifers during the period of increasing the milk yield, productivity has increased by 20,9 %. The average daily milk yield was 17,3 kg, which significantly exceeded the indicator of the control group (P > 0,95). The inclusion of wet flattened corn grains in the ration of mature cows in the amount of 1 kg for 30–35 days before calving, then 4,5 kg from 15 to 75 days after calving allows us to get the average daily milk yield of 30 kg or 20,3 % higher than that of the control group of herdmates (P > 0,95). The effectiveness of the use of wet flattened corn grain had significant indicators: the total profit from the sale of dairy products of the first-calf heifers of the experimental group amounted to 16 251,3 rubles/head, and from the sale of milk of mature cows of the experimental group it was 30 346,43 rubles/head.

The open days period is one of the components of the physiological cycle of the cow, during which it must be prepared for effective insemination. The duration of this period as a production indicator gives a general idea of the reproductive traits of the herd as a whole, and of each animal in particular. In order to increase milk production, it is possible to extend the open days period to obtain a longer lactation. Studies of this issue show that at the same time the dry period also extends and the average daily milk yield as the whole for lactation decreases. The purpose of the research was to determine the level of milk productivity and reproductive ability of cows depending on the duration of the open days period. The research has been carried out under the conditions in the APC “Emurtlinsky” in the Tyumen region, which is a breeding farm for the breeding of cattle of Holstein breed. It has been found that with an increase in the duration of the open days period from 93 days in the control group to 146 days in the experimental group the duration of barrenness was 3 and 56 days, respectively. It has been found that on the 1st day of milk yield per cow, the milk loss was 4,9 kg, and the absolute annual milk loss in the cows of the experimental group was in the range of 275 kg. The conducted studies suggest that with the increase in the duration of calving interval, there is the decrease in the milk yield of cows per year. The use of cows with the increase in the open days period above the norm recommended by specialists is unjustified. The increase in milk yield due to the lengthening of the lactation period is not effective, because it eventually leads to the increase in the number of days of barrenness and milk loss.

The results of research on the use of the feed additive “Ecostimul-2” and natural zeolite from the Khonguruu deposit in the Suntarsky district of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in the rations of lactating cows have been presented in the article. The purpose of the work was to study the influence of feed additives “Ecostimul-2” and zeolite on the digestibility of nutrients and nitrogen metabolism in lactating cows of Kholmogorskaya breed under the conditions of Central Yakutia. Chemical analysis of feed, accounting of dairy productivity of cows has been carried out according to generally accepted methods. The cows of the control group have received the main ration. The cows of the experimental groups have been additionally received to the main ration: the 1st experimental feed additive “Ecostimul-2” in the amount of 200 mg/head/day, and the 2nd experimental group – “Ecostimul-2” in the amount of 200 mg/head/day and zeolite 200 g/head/day. The inclusion in the ration of lactating cows of Kholmogorskaya breed under the conditions of Central Yakutia of feed additives “Ecostimul-2” and zeolite of the Suntarsky deposit together has increased the digestibility of feed in the ration and improved the digestibility of nutrients and nitrogen metabolism. It has been found during the experiment that in cows have been receiving the feed additive “Ecostimul-2” and zeolite with the main ration (the 2nd experimental group) the average daily milk yield was 9,06 kg with a fat content of 3,8 % or was by 10,4 % higher than in the control group. In cows that have been received feed additive “Ecostimul-2” (the 1st experimental group) the average daily milk yield was 8,76 kg with the fat content of 3,77 % or was by 6,8 % more than in the control group.

Изучено влияние белково-витаминного минерального концентрата (БВМК) на молочную продуктивность коров и рассчитана экономическая эффективность его применения. Для проведения опыта с учетом количества дней лактации были сформированы 3 контрольные и 3 опытные группы по 10 голов. В I контрольную и I опытную группы вошли животные на стадии раздоя (30—60 дней лактации), во II контрольную и II опытную группы — коровы в середине лактации (150—180 дней), в III контрольную и III опытную — животные в конце лактации (240—270 дней). Для коров опытных групп были составлены рационы с БВМК, которым заменяли пропорциональное количество концентрированных кормов и часть витаминно-минерального премикса. Коровы I опытной группы получали с рационом БВМК «Статус VI» в количестве 1200 г, II опытной — БВМК «Статус I» по 350 г, III опытной — БВМК «Статус I» по 250 г на 1 голову в сутки. Максимальный уровень молочной продуктивности по результатам опыта показали животные II опытной группы. Среднесуточный удой за 60 дней опыта у них составил 46,1±1,11 кг, что больше на 4,7 кг молока, или на 11,4% (P≤0,05), чем во II контрольной группе. В период раздоя среднесуточный удой за 60 дней опыта в I контрольной и I опытной группах был на уровне 36,4±1,37 кг и 42,4±1,22 кг молока соответственно. Достоверное различие (P≤0,01) между ними составило 6,0 кг молока, или 16,5%. Наименьший среднесуточный удой за период опыта показали животные III контрольной (26,4±1,20 кг) и III опытной (28,5±1,53 кг) групп. Различие между ними было менее существенным, чем у коров в период раздоя и в середине лактации, и составило 2,1 кг, или 8,0%. Применение БВМК в кормлении лактирующих коров дало выраженный экономический эффект. Дополнительно полученная прибыль в расчете на 1 голову в сутки составила: в I — 127,4 руб., во II опытной группе — 117,0 руб., в III — 33,4 руб. The influence of PVMC on the milk productivity of cows has been studied and the economic efficiency of its application has been calculated. To experiment, taking into account the number of days of lactation, 3 control and 3 experimental groups of 10 animals each were formed. The 1st control and 1st experimental groups included animals at the milking stage (30—60 days of lactation), the 2nd control and 2nd experimental groups — cows in the middle of lactation (150—180 days of lactation), 3 control and 3rd experimental — animals at the end of lactation (240—270 days of lactation). For the cows of the experimental groups, rations were made with PVMC, which was replaced by a proportional amount of concentrated feed and a part of the vitamin and mineral premix. Cows of the 1st experimental group received a diet of PVMC «STATUS VI» in the amount of 1200 g / head/day, the 2nd experimental group — PVMC «STATUS I» at 350 g / head/day, the 3rd experimental group — PVMC «STATUS I» 250 g / head/day. The maximum level of milk productivity according to the results of the experiment was shown by the animals of the 2nd experimental group. The average daily milk yield for 60 days of the experiment was 46.1±1.11 kg, which is more by 4.7 kg of milk or 11.4% (P≤0,05) than in the 2nd control group. During the period of milking, the average daily milk yield for 60 days of the experiment in the 1st control and 1st experimental groups was at the level of 36.4±1.37 kg and 42.4±1.22 kg of milk, respectively. A significant difference (P≤0,01) between them was 6,0 kg of milk or 16.5%. The smallest average daily milk yield throughout the experiment was shown by the animals of the 3rd control (26,4±1,20 kg) and 3rd experimental groups (28.5±1.53 kg). The difference between them was less significant than in animals during the milk period and in the middle of lactation and amounted to 2.1 kg or 8,0%. The use of PVMC in feeding lactating cows gave a pronounced economic effect. Also, the profit received per head per day was: in the 1st experimental group (milking period) — 127.4 rubles; in the 2nd experimental group (mid—lactation) — 117.0 rubles; in the 3rd experimental group (end of lactation) — 33.4 rubles.

The objective of the study is to determine, whether the growth retardations of replacement cows are admissible, and in which periods of culture they most significantly affect the further productivity of the cows. The subject of the analysis was the number of animals who at the age of 15 months had the live weight no less than 300 kg (which complied with the breed standard or was inferior to the requirements for 10 % maximum). The animals were divided into 5 groups. The first group included the animals with growth retardation before the age of 3 months. The second one – at the age of 3-6 months; the third one – 6-9 months and the fourth one – 9-12 months. The fifth one was the control group, without growth retardation. The growth retardation referred to the live weight reduction at the end of the period in comparison with its beginning or the average daily weight gain less than 500 g. The authors measured the live weight, first lactation productivity and the lifetime productivity of the animals. It has been established that the growth retardation of the heifers before the age of 3 months negatively affected the growth rate in the following three-month period. They can completely compensate the growth retardation only at the age of 18 months. The other group animals compensated the live weight retardation in comparison with the control group by the age of 15 months. The firstlings which had the growth retardation at the age of 0-3 and 3-6 months, has the highest milk productivity. The same trend was observed in milk fat and protein output and the age of the first calving. However, in the growth retardation group the livability of firstlings, the number of lactations and the productive live was worse. The lifelong milk yield in the growth retardation group was 15-37 % lower than in the control group. Growth retardation at the age of 6-9 months negatively affected the higher lactation productivity. The highest daily milk yield in this group of cows was lower in the control group by 14 % (p < 0.05). Therefore, growth retardation had no negative effect on the milk yield of the firstlings, but resulted in lower survival of the animals, shortened the productive life and lifetime yield. The later the growths retardation occurs, the sooner the heifers can compensate it and the lower is its effect on the lifetime productivity of the cows. In view of the reduction of lifetime productivity, it is purposeful to draft out the animals with the growth retardation.
