BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF BLOOD SERUM IN YOUNG PIGS UNDER FEEDING OF “LG-MAX” FEED ADDITIVE

Abstract

The acquired domestic and foreign experience of pig breeding development, an increase of animal productivity , and reduction of pork cost by 65–70% and more is determined by scientifically substantiated feeding. At the same time, the biochemical parameters of pig blood serum can be used to assess the functional state of the body and predict animal productivity and meat quality. The purpose of the study was to determine the morphological and biochemical blood parameters in young pigs with the inclusion of LG-Max and Sel-Plex feed additives to the main diet. When using in pig feed ing LG-MAX feed additive at a dose of 4.0 g/day, the blood biochemical parameters in pigs of the experimental groups compared with the control were within physiological limits according to the age of the animals. At the same time, during the experimental period it was found that the biochemical parameters in blood serum of pigs of the experimental group compared to the control of the appropriate age are in the following dynamics: in 120 - day -old pigs , significantly increases the content of total protein, the concentration of γ-globulins and aspartate aminotransferase , decreases the content of albumin, glucose, creatinine, cholesterol , and alkaline phosphatase; in 155-day-old pigs, the concentration of γ-globulins and the albumin/globulin ratio significantly increases and the urea, calcium , and chloride content increases; cholesterol and iron levels were significantly lower.
