Abstract
The studies were conducted in 2015 on Large Whitepigs of the breeding farm of the AO “Linevskiy plemzavod” (Altai Region, Smolenskiy District). The research goal was to determine the growth rate and blood biochemical indices of pigs when using LipoKar feed supplement.According to the design of the experiment, the animals of the control group were fed the basic dietonly. In the trial group, the sows received LipoKar feed supplement for 20 days startingfrom the 85th day of pregnancy. Then, the piglets born from them were also fed LipoKar feed supplement during the nursery period for 40 days in a 10 days’ interval. The dosages of the feed supplement were as following: for pregnant sows -2.1 g perhead per day; for young animals -0.8 g per head per day. The following effects of using LipoKar feed supplementwere found in the trial group: increasing piglet live weight from 4.2% to 11.7% (p < 0.001), average daily live weight gains -from 3.4% to 18.6% (p < 0.05); total protein, vitamin A and alkaline re-servein blood serum by 15.5% (p < 0.001), 9.2% (p < 0.05) and 20.9% (p < 0.001), respectively
