WAYS OF METABOLIC PROCESSES CORRECTION IN CASE OF NON-CONTAGIOUS PATHOLOGIES OF PRODUCTIVE COWS UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF TECHNOGENIC PROVINCES OF SOUTH URALS
The degree of spreading non-contagious pathologies among lactating cows kept under the conditions of nature-technogenic provinces of South Urals with different load levels have been studied and effective methods of their treatment have been developed. The cows’ prophylactic health checkup was carried out by the methods of I.P. Kondrakhin on the basis of farms located on nature-technogenic territories in Chelyabinsk region. The animals’ diets were supplemented with the mineral enterosorbent Vermikulit fed in the dose of 0.1 g/kg body weight once a day mixed with concentrates during 15 days with an interval of 15 days. The treatment of animals was conducted by means of methods generally practiced in veterinary medicine. The results of studies demonstrated that the methods of group prophylactics and the complex use of Vermikulit and symptomatic treatment of animals had positive therapeutic effect. The normalization of clinical status, appetite, as well as milk yields increases at 13.8–21.6% were observed.
