Abstract
Pigs are the most susceptible to stress. Therefore, the purpose of our research was to assess the effect of the mineral adaptogen on animal health and the quality of meat products. Research methods. The studies were conducted on piglets of a large white breed. With the use of hematological, immuno-biochemical, morphological methods of research and veterinary and sanitary assessment of the quality of meat products obtained. Results. It was found that the mineral adaptogen has a positive effect on the immune system, metabolic processes, and the reduction of stress-dependent glucose and cortisol levels. Scientific novelty. For the first time, comprehensive studies have been conducted showing the effect of mineral adaptogen not only on immunocompetent organs and immune indicators, but also a complex effect on stress resistance, reduction of toxigenic activity of feed, stabilization of metabolic processes in animals, and veterinary-sanitary and micromorphological assessment of the quality of meat products.

Today, pig farming is one of the fastest growing livestock industries
Histological studies of skeletal muscles and the heart have shown that the structure of cells when fed with a mineral adaptogen contributes to the preservation of their structure and function, respectively, metabolism is stabilized, and natural resistance increases
Summary
Pig farming is one of the fastest growing livestock industries. A feature of this species of animals is increased stress sensitivity and their early maturity during growth and development. Pig breeding complexes accumulate a very large livestock in a limited area, in this regard, an increased number of stress factors arises that act simultaneously. Until now, the search for means and methods to reduce the effect of stress and increase the resistance of animals remain relevant. There is a constant search for cheap and effective means to improve the productivity of pig breeding, as well as prevent stress, metabolic disorders, mycoses and mycotoxicosis. [1-4, 6-18] One of such agents is adaptogens They refer to means aimed at stimulating biological processes in the body, contributing to the rapid adaptation of the body, capable of withstanding various stresses and other unfavorable factors of biological, chemical and physical nature
