Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the use of antibiotic therapy in pig breeding and offered an alternative to them in the form of prebiotic supplements. Studies were conducted on the effect of probiotic drugs on the body of large white pigs in the farm-breeding plant Named after Lenin of Surovikinsky District of Volgograd Region and lasted until 180 days of age. For the experiment, 2 groups of Large White piglets of 2 months of age were formed. Each experimental group consisted of 15 pigs. Animals of the control group received standart farm animal diet (SD), analogs of the first experimental group SD + mixture of dietary supplements “LactuVet-1” and “Chlorelact” at a dosage of 0.2 mg / kg of live weight each. Deep studies were conducted on the effect of probiotic supplements to live weight gain, natural resistance, immunoglobulin reactivity, and slaughter indicators of piglets. Superiority of pigs from the experimental group in almost all the studied indicators over the peers of the control group was established.

Highlights

  • Modern farm animals and poultry are the result of selection for fertility and early maturity, which led to decrease in resistance, adaptive plasticity to massive occurrence of stress maladjustments with immunodeficiency syndromes

  • The negative consequences of such pharmacological pressure, strengthened by anthropogenic and technogenic load on farm animals habitat, over time are expressed in increased variability and, the development of multiple drug resistance and increased pathogenicity factors in bacteria and viruses circulating in farms [13-18]

  • Fat, calcium and phosphorus content in the blood of piglets changes depending on the feeding of various feeds

Summary

Introduction

Modern farm animals and poultry are the result of selection for fertility and early maturity, which led to decrease in resistance, adaptive plasticity to massive occurrence of stress maladjustments with immunodeficiency syndromes. The negative consequences of such pharmacological pressure, strengthened by anthropogenic and technogenic load on farm animals habitat, over time are expressed in increased variability and, the development of multiple drug resistance and increased pathogenicity factors in bacteria and viruses circulating in farms [13-18]. This is the reason for enormous scientific and practical interest in the problem of replacing antibiotic substances, including by prebiotics - promising biologically active substances used to regulate microbiological processes, prevent and treat alimentary and infectious diseases of gastrointestinal tract [19-22]. Recent studies carried out on rats have shown a positive effect of lactulose on the absorption of calcium and magnesium [13, 23-31]
