The effect of feeding the cavitating sunflower oil sludge on the hematological parameters of steers

Abstract

Abstract The article studied the effect of cavitation-treated sunflower oil sludge on the morphological and biochemical blood parameters of Kazakh white-headed steers (n=3) at the age of 13 months. During the preparatory period, the steers were transferred to experimental rations. In the diet of the steers of the I experimental group, 10% of the sunflower oil sludge from the concentrated part was additionally introduced, and the second-10% of the sunflower oil sludge, subjected to cavitation treatment, from the concentrated part. The results of the study showed that the animals of the II experimental group were superior to their peers of the I experimental and control groups in terms of hemoglobin by 3.2-6.8 %, red blood cells by 1.1-3.7 %, total protein content by 3.1-5.1 %, albumin-by 1.9-6.3 %. Based on the results obtained during the study, it was noted that when cavitated sunflower oil sludge is introduced into the diet of steers, a change in the hematological parameters of their blood is observed, which is expressed in the stimulation of protein metabolism in the body – increased levels of total protein and albumin in the blood serum. This may indicate a more intensive growth processes of steers of this group of animals.
