EFFECT OF SPOROBACTERIN PREPARATION ON PIGLETS’ RESISTANCE AND VITALITY
It is reported that a number of biologically active preparations have been developed lately and are now widely used to accelerate the growth of piglets and to improve their vitality, productivity and resistance, as well as to prevent and treat gastrointestinal diseases of the animals. One of them is the probiotic liquid Sporobacterin preparation. The scientific and economic experiments conducted and the results obtained have shown that the use of this probiotic antibiotic preparation stimulated significantly the activity of body defense mechanisms in piglets. This was proved by increased number of formed blood elements by 2.00-4.20% (P<0.05), T and B lymphocytes - by 4.65 to 4.88% (P<0.05), hemoglobin - by 6.16% (P<0.01), total protein in blood serum - by 4.87% (P<0.05), albumins - by 4.84% (P<0.05), globulins - by 4.90% (P<0.05), gamma globulins - by 8.98% (P<0.01), the bactericidal, phagocytic and lysozyme activity - by 5.85, 6.02, 6.16% (P<0.01), respectively, and the piglets' safety - by 4.76% (P<0.05).
