Abstract
The effect of the liposomal form of antioxidants with the inclusion of organic iodine on the growth of young Tsigai sheep was described in the article. The liposomal form allowed increasing average daily gain of young animals by 11.9 % and live weight by 10.8 % compared to the control one-year age group. The animals of the experimental group were characterized by more embodied meat forms according to the analysis of their exterior. Interior indicators were represented by the increased content of RBC that reached 1.8×1012 cells per liter or 25.7 % (p≤0.001), and WBC – 1.80×10⁹ cells per liter or 20.0 % (p≤0.01) at 7-months age; 1.9×1012 cells per liter (p≤0.001) and 1.74×10⁹ cells per liter (p≤0.05) at 12 months, respectively. This fact was due to the increased content of monocytes and neutrophils: the difference between the control and experimental groups of animals was within 1.1% and 0.6% at the age of 12 months.
Highlights
Growing sheep and creating optimal conditions for feeding and keeping them is important because of the lack of natural pasture and moisture [1]
Due to the fact that the liposomal form of antioxidants improves the availability of vital substances, the main goal of our research was to study the effect of the liposomal form of antioxidants with the inclusion of organic iodine on the growth and development of young Tsigai sheep
Table 1 shows the dynamics of live weight of young sheep in the experiment from birth to 12 months, and table 2 shows the features of the development of young animals in this period to study the influence of the liposomal form of antioxidants months, kg. n=10 ( Cv )
Summary
Growing sheep and creating optimal conditions for feeding and keeping them is important because of the lack of natural pasture and moisture [1]. Feed additives are the catalysts for important processes in the animal’s body. They have some positive effect on the quality of feed, animal health, and productivity due to various antioxidant factors included in the composition. They can be classified as feed additives that affect the external properties, toxin inhibitors, and various zootechnical additives, such as growth stimulants, minerals, vitamins, enzymes, antibiotics, etc. The antioxidant is placed inside the liposomes, which are nanospheres of phospholipids. Tests show what these phospholipids are mostly harmless [4]
