Use of a complex of biologically active additives in complete compound feed for farm animals

Abstract

Abstract In the organization of scientifically grounded feeding of farm animals, the use of compound feed balanced in terms of basic nutrients ensures an increase in the productivity of animals by 10-12%, and when enriched with biological additives that contribute to the safety of livestock, an increase in the physiological status and productivity of animals, their effectiveness increases by 25-30 %. There is the issue of providing the population with high-quality livestock products, which can only be obtained with adequate feeding, which contributes to the intensity of animal growth, productivity and a decrease in feed costs per unit of production. An important WHO recommendation is to limit the consumption of processed and red meat products, due to the increased risk of developing cancer of the gastrointestinal tract in humans. One of the alternatives to red meat is rabbit meat. Rabbit meat is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, which interfere with carcinogenesis, inducing apoptosis, controlling the cell cycle and eicosanoid production, and also inducing antiproliferative effects. The main problem in industrial rabbit breeding is maintaining a high immune status of rabbits to increase the safety of livestock, productivity and meat quality. The use of non-traditional biologically active additives from agroindustrial complex waste in the composition of compound feed has been insufficiently studied. It is necessary to qualitatively change the nature of the feed base through the creation and use of effective biologically active feed additives and probiotics that have a protective effect and the ability to optimize the metabolic processes of the body, treat and prevent diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. It is possible to restore normal intestinal microflora, improve the bioavailability of nutrients in compound feed and increase safety of livestock without the use of antibiotics for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes. The comparative assessment of the effectiveness of the action of biologically active additives in the composition of feed for the development of rabbit breeding is of undoubted scientific and practical importance.
