DETOXICATION PROPERTIES OF ECOBENTHIC FEEDS IN CATTLE ORGANISM
To reduce the content of heavy metals in birds and animals organism and their adverse impact on them, different kinds of sorbents based on minerals are used. The ecobenthic feed (TУ 9283-199-10514645-13-2013) - is a natural sorbent, obtained from bentonite clay, it is not only a source of macro-and microelements but it is characterized with high adsorption activity as regards mycotoxins, endotoxins, heavy metal salts and pathogenic microflora, it also improves the processes of digestion and metabolism. The detoxication properties of ecobenthic feeds as related to heavy metal salts have been studied by way of assessment their impact on the changes of heavy metals concentrations in the animals’ blood serum. The scientific- economic experiment was carried out in 2010-2013 on long-pregnant Black-Spotted cows at 60 days prior to calving (dry period), belonging to the LLC «Aksayskoye Moloko», Rostov region. The results of the studies showed that the use of ecobenthic feeds (TУ 99283-199-10514645-13-1013) resulted in the reduction of the heavy metals concentration and led to enhancement of essential elements concentration in animals’ blood serum, due to activation of metabolic processes.
