Effectiveness of the use of feed additives Nabikat and Glauconite in the diets of sows

Abstract

It is the fact with the introduction of the detailed system of normalized feeding in the livestock industry, the productivity of farm animals has increased by 11,2 %. The obvious solution to the problem of feeding pigs with complete feed is seen in the use of feed and feed additives of local production, which will reduce the final prime cost of the product. The purpose of the work was to justify the use of feed additives Nabikat and Glauconite in feeding sows. During the experiment 3 groups of sows have been formed (a control group and two experimental ones). Sows of the control group have been received the main farm diet, sows of the 1st experimental group in addition to the main diet have been received the feed additive Nabikat (0,20 % of the dry matter of the diet), and the 2nd experimental group Glauconite (0,25 % of the dry matter of the diet). It has been found on the base of researches that the input of the feed additive Nabikat in the diet of pregnant sows has increased the prolificacy of sows by 16,3 %, the livability of piglets by 10,9 %, while the expenditures of feed has been reduced by 20,4 %. The lowest feed and digestible protein expenditures per live weight gain of a pregnant sow and a weaning piglet have been observed in the 1st experimental group when the feed additive Nabikat was included in the diet of sows. The highest feed payment for 1 weaned piglet has been observed when feeding the feed additive Nabikat to sows, which allows producing 24,3 heads of piglets in natural terms, in monetary terms of 1,92 heads. At the same time, it is possible to get an additional profit of 6,9 thousand rubles.
