Application of natural zeolites in mixed feeds of young pigs

Abstract

To reduce the amount of the main components of compound feeds, to realize the genetic potential of the productivity of young pigs, to increase their productivity and to balance feeding rations, it is necessary to use various feed and mineral additives, including those of natural origin. Such additives include silicon containing zeolite diatomaceous earth. To carry out the experiment, 4 recipes for mixed feeds were developed: one recipe without the content of zeolite trepel and 3 recipes with 3, 4, 5% of this additive. According to the results of the experiment, it was proved that the best dose of inclusion of this drug is 3% of the mass of mixed feed. At the same time, it was found that the dynamics of live weight gain in group II increased by 13.5%, in group III — by 7.2%, and in group IV it decreased by 4.41% compared to the control group. Studies have shown that the addition of silicon-containing zeolite in the II and III experimental groups did not affect the consumption of feed, and in the IV experimental group there was a decrease in the consumption of feed. Feed consumption in the EQ for live weight gain in the I, II and IV experimental groups decreased by 12.1%, 6.7% and 0.3% respectively.
