Abstract
The research aim is increasing the potential of meat productivity of young Shagatay Zavodska type of livestock based on a heterogeneous selection of Shagatay cows with bulls – Ural type of hereford. The experience carried out on the breeding farm «Sabit» in West Kazakhstan region according to the scheme: group 1 – bull, group 2 – castrated males, group 3 – heifers of Shagatay breed of Kazakh white cattle and hybrids from crossing Shagatay cows with bulls of Ural Hereford, group 4 – bulls, 5 group – castrated males, 6 group – heifers. Groups were formed on the principle of analogues of 12 animals. Bulls by the age of 15 months of the Ural hereford reached the highest body weight and surpassed shagatai peers taking into account this selection feature in regard to sex by 20.4 kg. In castrates at the age of 18 months, this difference was in favor of the youngsters of group 5 and was 23.0 kg. Heter-ogeneous selection had a positive impact on the important productive qualities by heifers. Youngsters of group 6, born due to servicing bulls of the Ural Hereford, dominated in weight in regard to all analyzed periods. The contents of lizo the meyerhold centre in both winter and summer was greater at animal – hybrids of the Ural hereford and Shagatay animals, winter amount was 0,45-0,94 µg/ml in the summer – from 0.06 to 1.97 µg/ml. Significantly lower bactericidal activity of blood serum and slightly increased amount of lysozyme was shown by hybrids from the Ural hereford in the winter. Regardless of gender, the greatest consumption of both protein (8-41 g) and energy (0.48-2.54 MJ) per unit of body weight gained was characterized by descendants from parents of the Shagatai type of Ka-zakh white-headed breed. Hybrids the offspring of the Ural hereford – used crude protein in feeding more often for the synthesis of dietary protein.
