Abstract
The problem of increasing the production of highquality, profitable and in-demand livestock products on the market is acute at the present stage of agricultural development. Rabbit breeding today is a promising branch of beef farming, the main product of which is highquality dietary meat. The article presents the results of a study of age dynamics and live weight gain of hybrid young rabbits for fattening when different doses of the multivitamin complex “NutriCel” are included in their diet. From August to October 2023, a scientific and economic experiment was carried out on the territory of the rabbit breeding farm of Russian Rabbit LLC, Kostroma district, Kostroma region. As a result of the scientific experiment, the following data were obtained: the best results were obtained in experimental group No. 2, the animals of which were fed 0.5 ml/animal/day: a significant increase in live weight of young fattening rabbits was 3.06 kg (P≤0.05), which is 0.11 kg (3.59%) more than the control. The absolute increase had an advantage over the analogues of the control and experimental groups No. 1 and No. 3 by 20 g (6.4%; P≤0.01). The average daily gain was higher by 2.64 g (5.77%; P≤0.01) compared with peers in the control group. The relative increase exceeded the control by 0.14% (1.41%). At the same time, the safety of the young animals was 100%. In order to increase live weight gain, we recommend including the multi-vitamin complex “NutriCel” in the diet of rabbits with a dosage of 0.5 ml/bird/day for preventive purposes within 3–5 days from the moment of weaning. It showed a positive effect not only on the zootechnical parameters of young rabbits, but also on immunity in general.
