A way to improve the safety and productive qualities of young cattle

Abstract

Relevance. Beef is popular (among buyers) type of meat, which is due to its nutritional value and culinary properties. In turn, for the development of beef cattle breeding, it is important to reduce the cost as much as possible while respecting the high quality of meat.Results. The paper presents the results of studies on the effect of feed additives based on colostrum oil on the safety and productivity of young cattle. The diet of animals of the 2nd experimental group from birth to one month of age included feed additive No. 1 (fortified colostrum oil) at a dose of 20 g head / day, from 2 to 6 months — feed additive No. 2 (colostrum oil, protein hydrolysate and vitamin C) at a dose of 100 g head/ day. Young animals of the 3rd experimental group from birth to one month of age received feed additive No. 1 at a dose of 40 g head/day, from 2 to 6 months — feed additive No. 2 at a dose of 120 g head/day. It has been established that the introduction of feed additives into the diet of young animals helps to reduce cases of gastrointestinal disorders and increase the productivity of animals.
