Abstract
usage of feed additive with 35 mg/head per day folic acid and trace elements complex in a dose of 10-50 mg/100 kg of live weight, Hexavit multivitamin 196 mg/head per day and similar trace elements, as well as all studied supplements in the diets of three groups of enceinte sows showed that dietary supplements activate anabolic processes in the body aimed at fetuses development and the deposition of reserve nutrients in the mother’s body. As a result, sows receiving the studied supplements gave more piglets by 18.6%, more good piglets to weaning - by 4.3%, in the cost structure the total costs decreased by 9.7 -18.5%. The complex use of all biologically active additives was not effective during the entire physiological period of pregnancy. With this, the following application scheme proved to be the most acceptable for metabolic processes’ stimulation in body: joint in the first 84 days of pregnancy and in the last 30 days - only folic acid with trace elements.
Highlights
A century and a half have passed since the discovery of the first vitamins by Russian scientist Lunin, today vitamins have become an integral part of full-fledged feed composition for all types of agricultural animals and poultry having other dietary supplements in their composition [1,2,3]
If there is a lack of vitamins in the diet or its absence, various kinds of pathologies arise in all physiological systems, metabolism, which imposes a negative imprint on the growth and development of animals, reproduction functions, livestock safety, and production profitability
Various mineral salts of trace elements can have a negative effect on the vitamins' activity, lower it or even neutralize the biological effect
Summary
A century and a half have passed since the discovery of the first vitamins by Russian scientist Lunin, today vitamins have become an integral part of full-fledged feed composition for all types of agricultural animals and poultry having other dietary supplements in their composition [1,2,3]. The participation of trace elements in redox and hydrolytic processes in the body, the need for the synthesis of soft and hard tissues, secretory function of reproduction organs, allows to consider them as integral components of full body nutrition [4,5,6,7]. As a rule, both vitamins and minerals are part of the premix in the production of fullfledged feed, the rate of which is up to 1.0% of feed weight. The tasks of research were to analyze the animals' feeding diet, the difference in the number of newborn piglets and their number to weaning, to compare quantitative indicators of metabolic processes in the body and changes in the economic performance of piglets’ production during the preweaning period
