NEW PEAT-BASED FODDER ADDITIVE AND ITS EFFICIENCY APPLICATION IN HUSBANDRY
Institute for Nature Management NAS Belarus along with RUE «Scientific-practical Centre to Husbandry NAS Belarus» has developed a new fodder additive «Ecolin-3» on peat and malt basis and tested as a prophylactic means to remove oxidative stress and to correct substances exchange of high-productive caw during drought stand. The prevailing preparation component are humic matters (45 % of TM), and melanoidins (ab. 26,5 %); besides it contains tanids, free phenol compounds, low-molecular carbonic acids, aminoacids. A positive effect of feeding by fodder additive «Ecolin-3» on lipid-transport blood system has been shown, the state indicators of which are bilirubin and cholesterol. The bilirubin amount in cows blood with the rise of pregnancy term increased more then twice. On the background of the enforcement of metabolic processes in the liver of tested cows a substantial fall of cholesterol has been marked in comparison to the checked animals. The urea content in serum tended to increase with the growth of pregnancy term, that proves an over-animation process due to fodder additive. A positive effect of fodder additive feeding to sustain synthesis in organism of animals globulin fraction of serum and increase of activity of AsAT, AlAT and LDG has been shown. In the period of additive post-action also the decrease or absence of the amount of post-pregnancy diseases in tested cows has been marked, testifying to the intensification of metabolic and activization of reparative processes for tested animals. The calves, produced by tested mothers group, in early postnatal period had a better viability and high energy of growth and evolution.
