СПЕЦИАЛЬНЫЕ КОМБИКОРМА И ИММУНОСТИМУЛЯТОР ПРИ ВЫРАЩИВАНИИ ПОРОСЯТ-СОСУНОВ

Abstract

One of the main problems in rearing and organization of feeding of suckling piglets is early training of eating various feeds and special compound feeds, prevention of various diseases (diarrhea, anemia). The only food for sucking pigs is sow milk for the first two weeks, thus, the piglets receive the required amount of nutrients up to 3 weeks of age. However, they need to be additionally fed from the first days of life. The aim of the study was to study the effectiveness of usage of special compound feeds (superstarter, prestarter, starter) as creep feeding and feeding of suckling piglets, as well as an immunostimulant to maintain their health, better growth and development. As a result of the research, it was revealed that suckling piglets which received special superstarter, prestarter and starter feed depending on age, as well as young animals, which were additionally injected i.m. with an immunostimulant, had higher survivability by 6.97% in the 1st experimental group and by 7.3% - in the 2nd experimental group, as well as higher growth rate. Suckling pigs of the second experimental group grew much better in the experimental period (60 days), their weight was 17.68 kg, which was higher than in the control group by 1.2 kg or 7.28% and 0.63 kg or by 3.7% in the first experimental group, respectively. The milk yield of sows in the 2nd experimental group was 59.0 kg, which is more than in the control by 11.1 kg or 23.2% and in the 1st experimental group - by 2.75 kg or 4.9%. The deviation between the experimental piglets of the control and the 1st experimental group for this parameter was 8.35 kg or 17.4% in favor of the 1st experimental group.
