Meat Productivity of Cattle When Using in Their Diets Local Non-Traditional Feed Additives in a Sharply-Continental Climate of Yakutia

Abstract

Abstract The article presents the research results of non-traditional feed additives’ impact on cattle meat productivity in the sharply continental climate of Yakutia. There were formed three experimental groups of young cattle given the age and the live weight. Meat productivity was estimated by killing products, organoleptic and physicochemical parameters of beef. It was found that the inclusion of local mineral feed additives in animal’s diet contributed to the increasing of carcass mass on 3,4 – 7,9 %, lean tissue on 8,5 – 15,7 kg, and fat tissue on 1,3 – 1,5 kg. The assessment of meat products showed that the experienced groups’ samples had high points. Thus, the researches have shown the effectiveness of local non-traditional feed additives in the sharply continental climate of Yakutia.
