The authors have created modern effective methods for controlling the vitamin content of highly productive lactating cows during the first period of lactation. The results were obtained on the content of vitamins in the diet, milk and blood when feeding with supplements Vitaminol and phytocomplex at 10, 15 and 20 g per animal unit daily separately and with mixed feed. The authors monitored the levels of vitamins A, carotene, D and E in cow's milk and serum. Scientific research was carried out for the agricultural enterprise "Novgorodsky Becon" of the Novgorod region. The cows ration was balanced by 50 nutrients and biologically active substances in accordance with the recommendations for animal feeding (Moscow, Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences, 2003). Studies of the content of vitamins were carried out using the silage-concentration type of ration fed to lactating black-and-white cows in conditions without grazing. We conducted 2 scientific experiments and 2 physiological experiments with cows during the first 100 days of their lactation. The increase in the level of vitamin A in milk and blood was due to the use of feed additives in the diets. The use of feed additives increased the vitamin D levels in milk and serum. The balance of calcium and phosphorus metabolism in cows is positive. The use of "Vitaminol" together with compound feeds increased the level of calcium by 5.6 6.3 and phosphorus by 4.4 4.9 grams per 1 kg of milk with the natural fat content. The diets were admixed with the "Vitaminol" and phytocomplex ratio of Ca: P (1.3: 1) and Na: K (0.2: 1). With the same doses of feed additives, the ratio of acid and alkaline elements in the diets was the same: Vitaminol was 0.743 and phytocomplex was 0.709. Due to the use of "Vitaminol", the concentration of vitamin E in milk is 4.6-6 times higher than that in the control group, in blood and blood serum.
The modernized domestic complex of LLC "Belgrankorm – Veliky Novgorod" is engaged in the production of embryos, eggs, meat, its processing and freezing and facilitates productivity of chickens, safety of a livestock, body weight gain, achieves the reduction of rearing terms by 5 days and the decrease of feed expenses on 1 kg of production.The duration of the incubation period of eggs in the cabinets of the incubation shop is 18 days. During the following incubation phase (from 18th to 21st days) toxic substances, gases and decay products accumulate in the cabinets. They also get into the body of embryos and hatched chickens, as well as maintenance personnel. Modernized poultry farm facilities enable embryos to be transported by mobile method for three days (from 18th to 21st day) directly to poultry houses (buildings) for hatching of chickens and their subsequent rearing. This can significantly reduce the amount of toxic substances, gases and decay products, energy and financial costs and improve environmental and biological safety. On the 18th or 19th day, egg embryos were exposed to ozonation for 5 min by the "Rios–20" apparatus with a capacity of 20 g/m3. With the current technology, hatching of chickens directly in the housing (poultry house) occurs on the 21st day, when they jump out of their lofty perches in special conveyor belts, quickly find their "working" places, identify their drinking bowls (nipple), feeders and litter (with grain). Broiler chickens of cross "Hubbard" were reared.
The aim of the work is to show how to increase the productivity of cows, to improve the feeding system, to introduce intensive, promising, effective, resource-saving milk production technologies, including the implementation of measures for the production and use of domestic vitamin feed products (preparations). The studies were carried out by the example of highly productive dairy cows with an annual productivity of over 6000 kg of milk per lactation. The type of feeding is the silage – hayage silage concentrate, the rations are balanced in terms of nutrients, biologically active substances and metabolic energy. It corresponded to the generally accepted norms of animal feeding in the country (M., RAAS, 2003). The diets of cows during the milking period included Vitaminol and a phytocomplex (of 13 medicinal forage herbs), 10 g, 15 g and 20 g per head per day. When milking cows (100 days), fed with Vitaminol, more milk was produced ranging from 2.7 to 9.9 %, the phytocomplex increased milk yield from 8.4 to 16.3 %. The consumption of metabolic energy of diets per 1 kg of milk is lower in cows of the experimental groups when using different doses of Vitaminol ranging from 2.8 to 9.9 %, and the phytocomplex allowed ranging it from 8.3 to 16.1 % compared to the control variant. To increase metabolic processes in the body, productivity and supply of water-soluble vitamins and mineral macronutrients in cows under the conditions of a year-round stable method of keeping, the rations included the optimal dose of Vitaminol and the phytocomplex (separately) amounting to 20 g per head a day. Vitaminol serves to replenish the body of highly productive lactating cows during the period of milk production with missing biologically active substances, vitamin nutritional value of milk, increase the digestibility of organic substances in rations, and improve metabolic processes.
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.
