Abstract

Relevance. The work is devoted to the assessment of the effectiveness of the feed additive “Mucinol-extra” together with chitosan, on the hematological and biochemical parameters of the blood of heifers of the black-and-white breed. The goal was to study the effect of the probiotic “Mucinol-extra” on the physiological state of the body of heifers. Experimental data showed that the content of total protein, albumins and globulins increased in both experimental groups. At the same time, the total protein index in the second group increased by 10.5%. The use of the probiotic preparation “Mucinol-extra” had a positive effect on the concentration of glucose in the blood of the experimental group. The content of erythrocytes in the blood of heifers in the experimental group was 12.23% higher than in the control group. Accordingly, the hemoglobin content in the experimental group exceeded the control significantly by 11.5%. The influence of the probiotic “Mucinol-extra”, together with chitosan, promoted the stimulation of protein metabolism, an increase in the level of redox processes and an improvement in the functional state of the body of young cattle. Methods. To study the effect of the probiotic “Mucinol-extra” on hematological parameters and biochemical parameters of blood serum, 2 groups of clinically healthy heifers of the black-and-white breed of 10 days of age were formed, selected according to a single physiological state, taking into account live weight, sex, age and clinical states. Each group consisted of 10 animals. Results. It was found that feeding the heifers of the experimental groups with the probiotic preparation “MUTSINOL”-extra had a favorable effect on the hematological and biochemical parameters of the blood.
