Unbalanced mineral and vitamin nutrition of lactating cows can be a critical factor in the realization of their productive potential. The development and introduction into production of inexpensive, but effective feed additives is the main trend of improving the feeding of modern animal husbandry. Under the conditions of the Tyumen region such natural raw materials can be sapropels, which successfully combine a variety of biologically active substances. The purpose of the research was to study the digestibility of nutrients and energy metabolism in lactating cows when sapropel is included in the ration. Scientifi c and economic experiment in the study of the effectiveness of feeding sapropel lake Nepryak has been carried out in the training and experimental farm of the State Northern Trans-Urals Agrarian University. The animals of the control group have been fed the main diet. Cows of the 1st and 2nd experimental groups have been fed 300 and 500 g of sapropel per head/day, respectively, in addition to the main ration. It has been found as a result of research that the introduction of sapropel into the ration of cows has a positive effect on the digestibility of nutrients. The digestibility coefficients were higher in the animals of the 1st and 2nd experimental groups compared with the cows of the control group. Cows from the experimental groups digested all the organic substances of the ration better. During the experiment period cows of the 1st and 2nd experimental groups in contrast to the control group had higher milk yield by 11,31 and 10,38 %, respectively, milk protein yield by 10,56 and 5,95 %, milk fat yield by 17,18 and 12,99 %. It has been established that the introduction of sapropel into the ration of cows has the positive effect on the digestibility of nutrients, contributes to the increase of milk productivity, normalizes the metabolism in the body.

The results of researches on the development of new mineral feed additives based on raw materials produced by Uralchem and the study of the eff ectiveness of their use in the rations of lactating cows have been presented in the article. The experiment has been carried out in the conditions of LLC “PF Barabinskoe” in the Dalmatovsky area in the Kurgan region where 3 groups of lactating cows of Black-and-White breed have been formed. Animals in the control group have been received the ration adopted in the farm, the 1st experimental group with the additive RusMA No. 1 at a dose of 150 g, the 2nd experimental group– with the additive RusMA No. 2 at the dose of 350 g. The use of experimental mineral additives in feeding lactating cows allowed us to increase their milk productivity and profi tability of production. At the same time, the best eff ectiveness was shown by the additive RusMA No. 2 at the dose of 350 g/head/day. The use of RusMA additives during the experiment period (105 days) allowed to increase the milk productivity of cows in the 1st experimental group by 6,03 % and in the 2nd experimental group by 8,24 %. Taking into account the fat content in milk, this diff erence was 6,31 and 8,53 %, respectively. The energy value of milk from cows of the experimental groups was higher compared to the control group by 2,45 and 1,76 %, respectively. According to the content of dry matter in milk, cows of the 2nd experimental group exceeded the control and 1st experimental group by 0,39 and 0,12 abs.%, respectively. The maximum milk fat content has been observed in the milk of cows of the 1st experimental group by 0,03 and 0,01 abs.% more than in the control and 2nd experimental groups, respectively. In terms of protein content, the cows of the 2nd experimental group signifi cantly exceeded the control group by 0,10 abs.% and the 1st experimental by 0,04 abs.%. The content of milk sugar in the 2nd experimental group was higher than in the control by 0,30 abs.% and compared to the 1st experimental by 0,11 %. Signifi cantly more calcium and phosphorus were contained in the milk of cows of the 2nd experimental group by 4,58 % (Р ≤ 0,001) and 2,86 % (Р ≤ 0,05), compared with the control group. The expenditures of feed in the EFU for the production of 1 kg of milk in animals of the 2nd experimental group was less by 5,13 % than in control cows and by 2,63 % compared to the 1st experimental group. The prime cost of 1 centner of milk was lower in the 2nd experimental group by 3,94 %, in the 1st experimental group by 2,65 % compared to the control group. The level of profi tability of milk production in the 2nd experimental group was higher by 9,0 and 1,0 abs.% in comparison with the control and 1st experimental groups, respectively.

When balancing ration it is necessary to remember that the active factors of feeding are not the feed itself, but the content of nutrients and biologically active substances in them. It has been developed and physiologically justified feeding rations of cows during increasing the milk yield period, which are based on succulent feed, hay, grain and rapeseed presscake and a source of minerals and vitamins PVMA have been used. The experimental part of the work has been carried out in the winterstall period in the educational and experimental farm in the State Agrarian University of the Northern Trans-Urals. It has been found that from cows of the experimental group during the increasing the milk yield period 1503 kg of milk containing 3,98 % fat and 2,87 % protein has been obtained. Animals of the experimental group exceeded cows of the control group in milk yield by 90 kg (P > 0,95), in terms of fat and protein content in milk their superiority was 0,37 abs.% (P > 0,999) and 0,21 abs.% (P> 0,999). Input into the rations of lactating cows rapeseed presscake in the amount of 2 kg/ head/day and PVMA in the amount of 100 g during 3 months of lactation gives an increase in productivity for the entire lactation in the experimental group by 572 kg of milk with additional products by 2745,2 Rubles can be obtained more. The positive effect of the input of rapeseed presscake in the rations of lactating cows in the amount of 2 kg/head has been established/day and PVMA in the amount of 100 g in the period of following on the subsequent productivity of animals.

The article presents the results of studies on the use of a feed additive containing live sporeforming bacteria Bacillus subtilis and live yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, sorbed on activated carbon particles, to pregnant cows for the formation of immunoglobulins in the body and their isolation in colostrum, as well as for the nonspecific resistance of the resulting calves. The experiments were conducted in the winter-spring period, when the body of cows and calves contains a reduced level of nutrients, immunoglobulins and other biologically active substances, which leads to inhibition of the function of both nonspecific resistance factors and specific immunity. It was found that the feed additive had a positive effect on the physiological and biochemical parameters of calves. In the colostrum of cows of the experimental groups, relative to the animals of the control group, the content of immunoglobulins was 36.4% higher. Calves whose mothers received a feed additive for 30 days at a dose of 20 g per head before calving had higher indicators of total protein, albumins, globulins and factors of nonspecific resistance, such as bactericidal and lysozyme activity of blood serum, phagocytic activity of neutrophils.

The association between science and production is gradually developing due to the arrival of new information and discoveries about the composition of feed and the transformation of nutrients in the body of cows. One of the most important links in the formation of animal productivity during lactation is the use of new feed products and feed additives in feeding. The results of scientific and economic experiment on the use of protein concentrate “Agro-Matic” in feeding of highly productive lactating cows of Ayrshire breed are contained the article. The inclusion of protein concentrate “AgroMatic” in the daily rations of lactating cows in the amount of 1,0 and 1,5 kg/head/day increases the level of indigestible protein by 6,1 and 8,9 %, respectively. The use of protein concentrate in the amount of 1,5 kg in cows feeding helps to increase the digestibility of nutrients in rations the quality of milk and the productivity of cows. When feeding protein concentrate in the amount of 1,5 kg the milk productivity of cows during the period of increasing the milk yield was 4297,5 kg of milk, the yield of essential and dispensable amino acids with milk was significantly higher. The yield of milk protein in cows that received protein concentrate in the ration in the amount of 1,0 kg was 137,7 kg, and when using 1,5 kg – 141,4 kg, which was signifi cantly higher than in the control group by 10,2 and 13,6 kg, respectively. The use of protein concentrate “Agro-Matic” in the ration had a benefi cial eff ect on the digestibility of protein. The digestibility of raw protein of the feed mixture with the inclusion of 1,5 kg of protein concentrate was 71,1 % compared to 68,0 % in the basic ration, which are used at the Maysky complex in the “Plemzavod Maysky”

Many researchers note the need to improve feed additives and the search for new promising drugs for the intensification of the pig industry. We have developed a biologically active complex drug Microlact. It is used by animals as a means aimed at correcting the disturbed metabolism of sows associated with pregnancy and lactation, to activate the growth and development of piglets as well as their viability. The purpose of the work was to develop and study the effectiveness of the biologically active drug in the diet of lactating sows. The use of the drug led to the improvement of biochemical parameters of blood of pregnant sows, indicating the activation of metabolic processes in their body, which provided the increase in milk yield of sows, average daily weight gain of piglets and their livability. The live weight of piglets for weaning increased by 8,0% (P < 0,01), the livability of suckling piglets increased to 93,1%, which is a consequence of improving the quality of colostrum and milk, and consequently the positive effect of the biologically active drug containing an optimal complex of minerals, vitamin E in the composition of malt sprouts, essential amino acids and organic form of selenium. More nutritious colostrum and milk contributed to the better development of the piglets’ body and resistance to adverse factors. Immunoglobulins have been obtained by piglets with colostrum and milk increase their resistance and contribute to higher livability. The increase in the weight of suckling pigs has a positive effect on the further development and growth of animals on fattening. Thus, the administration of the biologically active drug Microlact to sows during pregnancy leads to the activation of metabolic processes, which can only be provided by a high level of functioning of the organs and systems of the body.

This article presents the results of studies conducted on piglets with the inclusion of natural feed additives in the diet in order to prevent and correct metabolism. The first experimental group of piglets received a total diet consisting of fullfledged compound feed, a complex micro-feed product consisting of blue-green algae Spirulina, dihydroquercetin and organic iodine, the second experimental group additionally received Spirulina and dihydroquercetin. The introduction of these natural feed additives into the diet of piglets helped to increase the adaptive ability , correction and prevention of metabolic disorders in the body. In these studies, dacha feed supplements prevented hyperbilirubinemia. As a result, the concentration of total bilirubin in the blood serum of pigs of the first experimental group was 1% lower, in the second experimental group it was 13,7% lower than in the control group. They also had a positive effect on the functional state of the liver, as evidenced by a lower content of AlAT and AsAT activity in the blood serum compared to those in piglets of the control group with a close cholesterol-forming fraction. The animals of the experimental group were less ill and the safety of this group was 100%, in the control group it was 90%. The average daily increase in live weight of pigs for 90 days in the first experimental group was 1% higher than in the control group, and in the second experimental group it was 21,7% higher.

One of the key issues in the production of high-quality, biologically complete milk is to provide cows with a sufficient amount of biologically active substances, including vitamin A and its precursor β-carotene. One of the ways to enrich milk with vitamin A and carotenoids is feeding cows with natural feed additives, including vitaton containing up to 10% trans-β-carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A, as well as exhibit antioxidant, immunostimulating, and anticarcinogenic effects in the body. Vitaton is the biomass of fungi Blakeslea trispora TKST strain, a product of microbial synthesis obtained by cultivating the producer on the waste of starch and molasses production. In terms of sanitation, the biomass of the fungi Bl. trispora is safe for animals, since the main condition for its production is sterility, excluding any microorganisms entering the fermentation medium. Besides, after the end of fermentation, the temperature of the medium is raised to 65–70 °C in the fermenter that destroys the β-carotene producer itself. We conducted research on cows of the Ukrainian black and white dairy breed, which were fed with vitaton, in conditions of “Kuibysheve” ALLC of the Poltava region. The introduction of vitaton into the cows’ diet contributes to the increase of the milk fat content by an average of 0.26% and enhances the phospholipid synthesis in the mammary gland by 1.8 times. Vitaton as a biologically active additive did not affect the ratio of total saturated to unsaturated fatty acids in bovine milk but stimulated the formation and inclusion of two unsaturated fatty acids into the milk fat, namely nonadecanoic and α-linolenic, against the background of the disappearance of the arachidonic acid peak in the chromatogram. Changes in the fatty acid composition of milk fat obtained from cows fed with the vitaton as a source of β-carotene indicate the effect of β-carotene and other biologically active components contained in vitaton on milk lipid synthesis.

Aim of the research was to study the effect of premix with buffering properties in diets for newborn cows on their milk production, blood biochemical composition, microbiological parameters of scar fluid and its acidity. The experiment was carried out on 2 groups of calving black-motley cows, selected on the basis of the pair-analogue principle with 6 animals each. The first, control group of cows received a ration adopted on the farm. The second group of animals received the same diet, only instead of 0.5 kg of compound feed they used a multicomponent mineral premix enriched with biologically active additives, which has buffering properties, which is very important in the newborn period of cows. Feeding premix with buffering properties in the composition of the main diet to newborn cows contributed to an increase in the consumption of dry matter by animals. Since the cows of the second experimental group consumed more nutrients, a significant increase in the average daily milk yield was found. The studied premix helped establish a tendency to improve metabolic processes in the body of ruminants. In a scientific experiment, a positive effect of the buffer premix on the microbiological parameters of scar fluid, as well as its acidity and acid-binding ability, was established. The consumption of more nutrients was due to a significant increase in average daily milk yields by 9.1%. The results of biochemical studies of blood serum allow us to say that all indicators characterizing the metabolism were within the physiological norm in cows of both groups. Also, a qualitative change for the better in the microbiological parameters of scar fluid was noted. Feeding the studied premix to experienced animals contributed to the additional profit of 4069.8 rubles per head.
