DYNAMICS OF GOOSE GROWTH WITH THE COMBINED USE OF PROBIOTIC VETOM 1 AND ENROFLAXACIN

Abstract

This article presents data on the effect of the probiotic preparation Vetom 1 based on the spore-forming bacteria strain Bacillus subtilis DSM 32424. The authors also presented the combined effect of Vetom 1 and a 10 % enrofloxacin solution on the growth rate of geese. Throughout the experiment, the geese were kept in floor cages on deep, non-replaceable bedding. The authors formed three experimental and control groups of 10 goslings each according to the principle of peer pairing. The goslings of the experimental groups were given the probiotic Vetom 1; Vetom 1 in combination with enrofloxacin with subsequent replacement by the probiotic Vetom 1. Geese of the control group were not given the drug. The authors observed an increase in the absolute weight and average daily gain of the experimental geese under the effect of the studied preparations. The authors found a pronounced mass gain when applying Vetom 1 at a dose of 50 mg/kg body weight once a day for 30 days. When using Vetom 1, a pronounced average daily gain in goslings was observed both on day 15 and during the period of the drugs after action (day 30-60). The preparations in the studied doses have no toxic effect on the body of geese.
