Productive and interior indicators in pigs when microcapsulatedlactobifadol is included in the diet

Abstract

The results of studies of the effect of the microcapsulated probiotic lactobifadol on productive and interior indicators in pigs are presented. It is shown that the microcapsulated preparation obtained by the original technology has a pronounced stimulating effect on metabolism. After its application, pigs had higher average daily body weight gains (583,0±8.8-600,0±9,5 g) compared with animals receiving non-encapsulated lactobifadol (507,0±10,1-533,0±11,0 g) and control (463,0±9,2-483,0±8,5 g). The blood contained significantly (p<0.05) more red blood cells and hemoglobin. At the same time, the content of leukocytes was within the physiological boundaries. The encapsulated lactobifadol had a positive effect on the biochemical status. Pigs receiving the drug on the 30th day of the experiment had significantly more (p<0,05-0,01) total protein (75,7±2,3 g/l), total calcium (3,10±0,19 mmol/L), glucose (3,42±0,10 mmol/L), vitamins A (0,55±0,04 mg/l) and C (3,93 ± 0,18 mmol/l) compared with control group animals (6,83±2,0 g/l; 2,60±0,15 mmol/l; 2,72±0,15 mmol/l; 0,28±mg/l; 2,9±0,17 mmol/l). At the same time, the content of inorganic phosphorus (1.65±0.18 mmol/l) and total lipids (4,48±0,21 g/l) was at a lower level than in animals not receiving probiotic preparation (1,85±0,16 mmol/l; 4,67±0,18 g/l). The developed microcapsulate-dlactobifadol is recommended for use in pig breeding practice.
