The Use of Natural Highly Structured Silicon-Containing Additives for the Production of Organic Animal Products

Abstract

The influence of highly structured silicon-containing zeolite enriched with the amino acid complex "VitaAmin" on the general state of the body and productivity indicators in dairy cows and calves was studied. The object of the study for this purpose was selected black-and-white cattle. The first group – control, the second-experience, with the introduction of supplements in the diet. As an additive, we used natural zeolite from the Yushanskoye deposit in the Ulyanovsk region, which was subjected to technological processing in the factory. We used a new technology of activation, structuring, dehydration, and enrichment of zeolite with amino acids. This supplement is of pure natural origin, does not contain chemical components. In young animals, the average daily weight gain increases by 14.9 %, compared with the control. The average daily milk yield of cows during the experiment was 24.7 kg of milk, compared to 20.88 kg in the control. The increase was 3.82 kg per day, for the experiment 0.687 tons of milk was obtained additionally due to the use of the additive. Under its influence, the processes of milk synthesis, metabolism, and anabolic processes in young animals are activated in the body of cattle.
