Purpose. To study the effect of addition of hulless oats during the growing period on the qualitative and quantitative indicators of replacement-brood stock of carp. Methodology. The replacement-brood stock of Lubin intra-breed type of Ukrainian scaly carp strain, which were kept in ponds of State Enterprise Experimental Fish Farm of Lviv Research Station of the Institute of Fisheries of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine (IFNAASU) was used for the study. The stocking density was 1000 fish/ha. The experiment was based on four experimental groups. Carps of the first experimental group were fed during the entire growing period with a feed mixture with the addition of hulles oats in the amount of 10 %, while carps of the second group were fed with a feed with the addition of 30 % of hulless oats. The third experimental group received a feed mixture in June – July, and hulless oats in August. The control group of carp was fed with the feed mixture throughout the entire growing period. The stocking density of fish was 1000 fish/ha. Piscicultural studies were conducted in accordance with current methods. Sampling of water for chemical analysis and its processing in the laboratory was carried out according to O. Alokin according to the Standard of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy of Ukraine. Haemoglobin content was determined by the haemoglobin-cyanide method. Blood erythrocytes were counted in a Goryaev chamber. Abundance and weight of natural feeds in ponds were determined according to I.A. Kyseliov, V.I. Zhadin. Zooplankton biomass was determined using tables of individual weights of F.D. Mordukhai-Boltovskoi. Analytical processing of the material was performed using MS Excel. The criteria for the analysis of indicators were their mean (M) and mean deviation (m). Findings. Peculiarities of growth, development of carp and efficiency of feed usage with the addition of hulless oats on the background of similar satisfactory growing conditions were studied. It was found that additional feeding of carp with hulless oats at an amount of 30% was effective. In particular, its addition resulted in an increase in individual weight by 31.1% and survival rate by 2.33%. Studies of the physiological functions of the body of experimental fish during the growing period after adding the hulless oats into the main diet provided an opportunity to recommend its use in the feeding process of age–1+carp in order to increase fish productivity. Originality. The advisability of using hulless oats in the feeding of replacement-brood stock of juvenile carp was studied in Ukraine for the first time. The analysis of productive, physiological and economic indicators has been carried out. Practical value. The results of a comprehensive assessment of piscicultura; and biological parameters provide recommendations for the use of hulless oats in the feeding of replacement-brood stock of juvenile carp. Key words: carp, replacement-brood juvenile stock, feed, feed additives, normalized feeding, physiological needs, fish productivity, feed costs, natural food supply.

The article deals with the results of research on the economic efficiency of the use of mixed ligand complexes of Zinc, Manganese and Cobalt in the feeding rations of highlyproductive cows of Ukrainian Red-Spotted Dairy breed in the first 100 days of lactation. The research was performed on five groups (one control and four experimental) of analogous cows in the conditions of ALC “Terezyne” Bila Tserkva district of Kyiv region. The control was the optimal dose of mixed ligand complexes of Zinc, Manganese and Cobalt, which was previously established with a concentration of 1 kg of dry matter (DM) of the feed mixture (FM), mg: Zinc – 60.8; Manganese – 60.8 and Cobalt – 0.78. For the 2nd experimental group, the concentration of these trace elements was increased by 10 %, and in the 3rd, 4th and 5th experimental groups – on the contrary, the concentration of Zinc, Manganese and Cobalt in 1 kg of DM of feed mixture was reduced by 10 %, 20 and 30 %, respectively, compared with the control. The best results on milk yield of natural and basic fat content were got from cows of the 4th experimental group, where the concentration of Zinc, Manganese and Cobalt due to their mixed ligand complexes in 1 kg of DM of feed mixture was, mg: Zinc – 48.6; Manganese – 48.6; Cobalt – 0.62. The cost of products got from experimental cows ranged from UAH 12702.3 up to UAH 13783.7 and it was the highest in the 4th experimental group. It was set up that for cows of Ukrainian Red-Spotted Dairy breed in the first 100 days of lactation the most economically advantageous was the dose of mixed ligand complexes, in which the concentration of Zinc and Manganese was 48.6 mg, and Cobalt – 0.62 mg/kg DM, which allowed to obtain a profit of 14.37 % more than in the control group. Doses of mixed ligand complexes with a concentration of Zinc and Manganese – 66.9 mg; 54.7 and 42.6 mg, and Cobalt – 0.86 mg; 0.7 and 0.55 mg/kg CF gave a much lower economic effect. Additional profit in the 2nd experimental group amounted to UAH 66.8 or 1.34 %; in the 3rd – UAH 95.6 or 1.92 % and in the 5th – UAH 561.6 or 11.28 %, compared with the control group.

Abstract The researches were conductedon queen bees of the Carpathian subspecies in conditions of Tajikistan. Four groups of similar families were formed, 10 in each group. In the control group, sugar syrup (1:2) was given as a stimulating feeding, in small portions of 700 ml. Bees of the first experimental group were fed with the sugar syrup, with the addition of drone larvas’ homogenate. The second group was fed with the sugar syrup with addition of a feed mixture “Similak”, the third group - sugar syrup with the addition of a compositional form consisting of a feed mixture “Similak” and the drone larvas’ homogenate. In the experimental groups, in contrast to the control group, an increase in the egg production of queen bees and the brood breeding reflex by 1.3-1.44 times was found.In general, it has been established that to stimulate the physiological processes in bee’ organism, growth and development of colonies in spring, it is necessary to use stimulating feeding by sugar syrup in combination with drone larvas’ homogenate and feed mixture “Similak” 700 ml each.

The results of studies on the effect of the introduction of the amino acid tryptophan in the amount of 0.04 % in the composition of the combo feed and additionally in the diet of the feed mixture «Chondrotan» (on the physiological parameters and meat productivity of broiler chickens. The greatest effect on the hematological parameters of broilers was provided by tryptophan in combination with the feed mixture «Chondrotan» at the rate of 350 g per 1 ton of mixed feed. It was also revealed that the use of tryptophan and different amounts of «Chondrotan» feed mixture in the feeding of broiler chickens contributes to an increase, in comparison with the control, of the mass of the gutted carcass, respectively, by 2,07 (P<0,05); 5,24 (P<0,001) and 2,99 % (P<0,001), edible parts of the carcass-by 2,11 (P<0,05); 5,72 (P<0,001) and 3,14 % (P<0,001), pectoral muscles – by 2,17 (P<0,05); 5,63 (P<0,001) and 3,20 % (P<0,001). The quality indicators of meat are improving in the young animals of the experimental groups: the content of dry matter in the pectoral muscles – by 0,09; 0,15 (P<0,05) and 0,13 % (P<0,05), protein-by 0,12; 0,40 (P<0,01) and 0,19 % (P<0,05). Of the experimental groups, the highest indicators of meat yield and quality were noted in broilers of the II experimental group.

The influence of naked oats on pisciculture, biological, hematological and biochemical parameters of commercial carp groups, as one of the components of the feed mixture in different ratios has been studied in the article. The aim of the experiment was to increase the fish productivity of ponds and to reduce feed costs for cultivation by meeting the physiological needs of commercial carp groups when using naked oats in carp feeding. The object of the study was age–1+ carps of Lubin scaly and framed intra-breed type of Ukrainian carp breed. For this purpose, three experimental groups of fish were formed by the method of analogues. Fish of the first experimental group (from July 1) were additionally introduced 30% of naked oats into the main diet, the fish of the second experimental group - 50% of naked oats, the third group was fed a feed mixture without added oats. As a result of the research done, it is proved that the addition of a mixture of naked oats has a positive effect on fish biological and physiological parameters of commercial carp. It was found out that the most effective is the additional feeding of naked oats in the amount of 30%. In particular, when the very amount of naked oats is added to the basic diet, the total fish productivity indicator increases by 7.7% relative to the control pond indicators, and feed costs are lower by 16.7%. The amount of hemoglobin in the blood of the first experimental group was higher relative to the control group, and the number of erythrocytes was significantly higher (P> 0.01). However, in the carp serum of the first experimental group the level of superoxide dismutase (P> 0.02) significantly increased while the level of catalase decreased.

Russian and foreign literature on the development of diagnostic systems and scanning of objects using a vision system with deep machine learning programs has been analyzed during the study. The features of the technological process of feeding cattle have been studied. A system of non-contact assessment of the dry matter content/humidity of the components of the feed mixture of natural cultivation on the example of a corn silo using technical vision systems was proposed. A database of images of corn silage was collected and the dependences on the intensity of the reflecting light flux of the silage were revealed taking into account changes in humidity. The research was conducted in 2020 on the basis of the Federal Scientific Agroengineering Center VIM (FNAC VIM), using experimental equipment of the Institute of General Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences named after A. M. Prokhorov and FNAC VIM. A stand with a technical vision system has been developed that allows to classify the components of a cattle feed mixture by color characteristics. The obtained dependences of the reflecting intensity of corn silage allow us to assert the prospect of using a vision system for express-evaluation of the quality indicators of feed mixture components. Taking into account the level of robotization of technological processes of feeding cattle, the problem of assessing the quality indicators (in particular, the dry matter/moisture content) of the components of a feed mixture is relevant.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of selenium yeast and phytobiotic on the storage capacity, selected quality parameters of meat and content of selenium in muscles obtained from broilers. In the experiment, 1440 male broiler chickens (Ross 308) were randomly assigned to four research groups: group received no additive (G1), group received a supplement of 0.3 mg Se (as sodium selenite)/kg of feed mixture (G2), group received 0.2 g phytobiotic and 0.3 mg Se as 0.1 g selenium yeast per 1 kg of feed mixture (G3) and group received 0.3 mg Se as 0.1 g selenium yeast per 1 kg of feed mixture (G4). Measurement of pH, determination of water retention capacity, degree of advancement of oxidative changes and selenium content in muscles were performed. Samples of chickens’ breast and thigh muscles were microbiologically analyzed. The additives significantly influenced the level of oxidation in muscles and the incorporation of selenium. The meat of chickens receiving organic selenium was characterized by significantly lower dynamics of oxidative changes. The studies carried out showed that selenium in organic form had better absorption.

Experiments on the use of extruded feed in the diets of high-yield cows were conducted. The work was carried out on the farm of LLC Druzhba in the Buinsky district. The object of the study was cash cows. The grain mix of the first experimental group of cows included 15 % – corn, 42 % – peas, 25 % – rye, barley –18 %, the second experimental group 20 % – peas, 30 % – rapeseed, 25 % – corn and 25 % rye. The composition of the extruded feed of the third group was identical as in the second, the difference was only in the fact that rapeseed was previously sprouted for 48-72 hours before extrusion, and then mixed with the rest of the feed mixture. The nutritional content of all three compositions of extruded feed was identical.

Abstract This study was designed to investigate the influence of naturally protected eucalyptus oil supplementation in a form of leaves (EUL) or mature seed capsules (EUS) compared to crude eucalyptus oil (EUO). The control group (G1) received a diet containing concentrate feed mixture, fresh berseem, rice straw, and corn silage. Whereas the G2, G3, and G4 animals have a diet supplemented with 200 g/head/day of EUL or EUS or 4 mL/head/day EUO, respectively. Supplementation of EUL or EUS increased NH3-N, SCFA’s, and concentrations of acetic acid in-vitro. Bacterial total count, protozoa, and cellulolytic bacteria increased (P < 0.05) with EUL and EUS supplementation. Methane production dropped (P < 0.05) with EUS, EUL, and EUO supplementation. Milk fat decreased (P < 0.05) with EUO supplementation, while an adverse trend was shown for lactose. No differences in feed conversion were found among EUS, EUL, and EUO. Blood total protein, albumin, and urea increased (P < 0.05) with supplementation of EUL or EUS compared to EUO. EUO supplementation yielded increased (P < 0.05) AST, ALT, glucose, and creatinine. Supplementation with EUL, EUS, or EUO decreased (P < 0.05) DM, OM, and CP digestibility. While digestibility of EE with supplementation by EUL, EUS, or EUO was higher (P < 0.05). The digestion coefficient of NDF and ADF decreased (P < 0.05) with supplemental EUL, EUS, or EUO compared to the G1 diet. Feeding EUS increased the values of TDN and DCP compared to EUL, which increased than EUO. Our results confirm that the naturally protected form of leaves or seeds mitigates the undesirable effects of directly supplementing crude eucalyptus oil.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the ameliorative effect of dietary rocket salad and apple cider vinegar on the oxidative stress (OS) status of broilers. Specifically, 720 Ross 308 chicks were divided into six groups: negative and positive controls (NC and PC with and without additives, Vi1 and V12 experimental groups fed with diets mixed with 5 and 10 mL of vinegar/kg, and Ro1 and Ro2 groups fed with diets mixed with 2 and 3 g of rocket salad/kg, respectively). The experimental groups Vi1 and Vi2 were fed with feed mixture moisturized with 5 and 10 mL of vinegar/kg, and Ro1 and Ro2 were fed with 2 and 3 g of rocket salad/kg, respectively. The birds’ productivity, oxidative serum parameters, and morphometric indices of the gastrointestinal tract were registered at 6 weeks of rearing. The vinegar or rocket salad additive had powerful potentials to significantly suppress (p ≤ 0.05) OS through improving the birds’ survivability, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and carcass yield. The highest villus height and villus height/crypt depth ratio of the duodenum were achieved by Vi2, Ro1-2, and NC (p ≤ 0.05). The villus surface area and muscular layer thickness were smallest in the PC, while they did not differ significantly in other groups (p > 0.05). Similar relationships were found in serum superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, hydroperoxide, and malondialdehyde; however, higher doses of both additives were more effective. It seems that liquid vinegar and rocket salad could have beneficial influences on the antioxidant status of birds.
