Biological Characteristics of the Cattle Fed with Organomineral Fodder Additives in the Conditions of Yakutia

Abstract

The evidence-based analysis has revealed that feed stresses are one of the main reasons of a low cattle’s productivity. Scientists justify the need for the study the reason and nature of feed stresses, which is the primary source of animal metabolic disorder. The article presents the results of the studies on the effect of organomineral fodder additives from local natural resources on behavioral reaction and changes of hair-covering hair, which reflect the degree of cattle adaptation to the extreme continental climate. 3 young cattle groups have been formed and divided into equal subgroups for the experiments. The organomineral fodder additives have had a positive effect on feeding behavior, increased the cattle’s appetite and formed a better heat exchange thanks to the hair-covering hair.
