Biologically active additives of the new generation and their use in feeding of broiler chickens

Abstract

The urgent need to include biologically active additives in diets including vitamins is primarily due to the fact that their use makes it possible to neutralize the negative effect of certain dietary deviations. Vitamin E is one of the most effective natural antioxidants, which has a versatile effect on metabolism, the role of which in a living organism is difficult to overestimate. Agricultural enterprises of the Russian Federation have imported vitamin E over the past 30 years from abroad due to its absence on the domestic market. State Company “MegaMix” in 2019 developed and mass-produced the feed additive INNOVIT® E 60, which has no analogues in world practice. The purpose of the research was to study the effectiveness of biologically active additives of a new generation in feeding of broiler chickens. INNOVIT® E 60 (registration No. PVR-2-8-20/03540) was used as a test feed additive containing vitamin E-acetate (DL-α-tocopheryl acetate) – 60-63 % as an active substance, as well as an auxiliary substance (carrier) silicon dioxide – up to 100 %. Three groups of broiler chickens were formed for the research: the control group, which received vitamin E as an additive to the main diet (BASF, Germany) in doses of 120, 100, 80 g/t of compound feed, depending on the rearing period, broiler chickens of the 1st experimental group received the additive INNOVIT® E 60 (MegaMix, Russia) in doses of 120, 100, 80 g/t of compound feed and broiler chickens of the 2nd experimental group received the additive INNOVIT® E 60 (MegaMix, Russia) in doses of 100, 80 and 60 g/t of compound feed depending on the age period of broilers rearing. The conducted studies allowed us to establish the effectiveness of the use of the INNOVIT® E 60 feed additive of domestic production in the feeding of broiler chickens in comparison with the imported analog. The optimal dosage of the tested feed additive is 100, 80 and 60 g/t of compound feed depending on the age period of the broiler chickens being reared.

The effect of clay on the 137Cs secretion with milk when it is included in the cow diet

“…Data on the clay effect on the 137 Cs secretion with milk are shown in Figure 2. In addition, studies have shown that clay included in the cow diet had a positive trend on milk productivity [8,9,10].…”

“…The effect of clay on the 137 Cs secretion with milk It follows from the figure that clay, included in cow diet as an ingredient, reduces the radionuclide secretion with milk. At the same time, the radionuclide content in the cow milk of the experimental groups decreased by 42% (P<0.05) in the first group and by 79% (P<0.05) in the second group compared to the control group.In addition, studies have shown that clay included in the cow diet had a positive trend on milk productivity[8,9,10].Data on the clay effect on milk productivity are shown in Figure3.…”
