An enterosorption ferrocin-containing feed additive based on peat has been developed. The choice of peat as the basis for obtaining an enterosorption feed additive is has been substantiated. Modification of sphagnum peat with metal hexacyanoferrates was carried out. The sorption and spectral properties of the synthesized sorbents with relation to the Cs ion have been studied. The choice of a composite including sphagnum peat and iron hexacyanoferrate (ferrocin) as an enterosorption feed additive with radioprotective properties is justified. Preliminary tests of the radiological efficacy of the feed additive in the diet of gobies showed a multiplicity of decrease in the 137Cs content in meat products by about 6 times compared with the control.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
