Abstract
The authors carried out an experimental work on developing a new compound feed for growing sturgeons with possible prevention of cardiovascular diseases arising under the influence of adverse abiotic factors during artificial cultivation. The importance of modern cultivation of valuable fish species is explained by the need to create effective methods for the practical implementation of feeding technology and minimizing the effects of side factors, including the cardioprotective components with antihypertensive effects. As a result of the research work, a reasonable idea was obtained that herbal agents can be used as cardioprotective components, namely, the common barberry plant (Berberis vulgaris L.) possessing a cardioprotective effect when added to feed mass fraction of 3.0% The physiological indicators of the body were studied on the basis of blood indicators and a cardiosomatic index, which complement the general characteristic of abnormalities or heart disease, and also determine the physiological status of the fish. In the course of studies, it was found that when feeding sterlet weighing 100 g, the feeding rate makes 4% of the body weight of the developed feed and with a barberry content of 0.3% it ensures stabilization of the cardiovascular system, supports the heart and can be used as a preventive compound feed.
