Reduction of the risk of caesium-137 transition into the milk of lactating cows in the long-term summer period

Abstract

The article presents data on the use of smectite trepel as a natural mineral additive with active sorbing properties as part of a grain mixture fed to lactating cows in the summer, which are kept in areas with a soil pollution density of 15 Ku/km2. The results of the scientific and economic wholesale indicate a significant increase in daily milk yields by 5.3%, primarily due to compensation for the mineral metabolism of lactating cows, as well as a decrease in the accumulation coefficient of caesium-137 in the milk of cows by 5.0% who received smectite trepel as part of the diet. Hematological parameters of blood and biochemical markers of its serum varied within the limits of normative physiological values.
