Influence of non-traditional feed additives on the milk productivity of goats in Yakutia

Abstract

The article presents the results of a study to determine the effectiveness of non-traditional feed additives on the milk productivity of goats in the conditions of Yakutia. Research into 3 groups of lactating goats divided into control and two experimental groups. In the study of animal diets, a deficiency was found for some elements, such as copper, iodine and cobalt. With the inclusion of non-traditional feed additives in the diets of goats, it was possible to increase the average daily milk yield by 13.38 % and 23.57 % (P>0.95), milk yield per experiment by 13.38 and 23.57 % (P>0.95). The qualitative composition of milk improved, fat increased by 0.06% and 0.09%, milk protein increased by 0.02% and 0.04%. Analysis of the data on milk productivity of experimental goats that the inclusion of non-traditional feed additives in the diets of animals shows an increase in milk yield and milk quality (an increase in the level of milk fat and protein). At the beginning and at the end of the experiment, the clinical parameters of the organism of the animals were studied. It was found that the inclusion of non-traditional feed additives in the ration of lactating goats did not have a negative effect. All clinical indicators of the experimental animals did not go beyond the norm. Thus, the use of non-traditional feed additives in the feeding of lactating goats improves the indicators of milk productivity, does not affect the clinical indicators of the organism. In this regard, the use of non-traditional feed additives in feeding lactating goats under conditions Yakutia is promising and has practical significance.
