Correction of micro biocenosis and physiological processes in piglets under intensive breeding technology
The authors presented the results of a study of the feed additive's effect on the gastrointestinal tract's microflora, hematological, biochemical, and production indicators of piglets of the technological group 0-1 month of the Large White breed, Landrace, and Duroc. For the experiment, the authors formed two groups of animals - experimental and control. Piglets of the experimental group were fed with Bimulak Pre feed additive from the 2nd to the 15th day of life. Animals of the experimental group were on the usual diet and did not receive the feed additive. As a result of studies, a positive effect of feed additive Bimulak Pre on enterobiocenosis of the gastrointestinal tract of piglets, hematological and biochemical parameters of blood, and production performance. After the application, the feed additive helps increase the amount of beneficial microflora (bifidobacteria and lactobacilli) while reducing lactose-negative variants of Escherichia coli, staphylococci, and yeast-like fungi of the genus Candida in the intestine. Using the analysis of hematological and biochemical parameters, the authors found that the number of erythrocytes and hemoglobin slightly increased in the experimental group of piglets. In addition, the total number of incremental cytes decreases, the total protein content increases, and the glucose level decrease compared to the check. The use of the additive with the essential diet leads to a reduction in the mortality of piglets, increased preservation of young stock, and an increase in average daily live weight gain and average weight at weaning.
