Effects of fat-containing feed after ultrasound treatment with zeolite on the metabolism

Abstract

Processing technologies using non-reactive influences appear to be the most profitable in terms of safety and ecological compatibility of end products including fodder for the agro-industrial complex. The usage of various physical influences allows significantly speeding up and facilitating technological processes including those achieving results that are not possible with other technologies. Based on the study of morphological and biochemical indicators of blood, it can be stated that the introduction of cavitationally processed sunflower sludge into the diet of birds together with zeolite powder leads to improving general blood indicators. All biochemical and morphological indicators were within the physiological norm. The results indicate that the cavitational processing of sunflower sludge with zeolite particles comprising feed mixes with an additional increase in the level of metabolizable energy leads to an increase in the content of macro- and microelements against the background of a significant reduction of elements-antagonists. The greatest changes were observed in the second experimental group, (a diet with a metabolizable energy content of 14.9 MJ/kg of dry matter (DM), which consists of 6 % of cavitationally processed sunflower sludge in the presence of zeolite in the amount of 4 %).

“…In addition, cavitation treatment can cause the death of the microflora of feed additives, at the same time, as a result of the dissociation of a complex of organic polymers that contribute to a positive reaction of probiotic strains [13], thereby improving the nutritional value of the feed. It is also known that cavitation treatment of a fat-containing product formed as a result of sunflower processing, against the background of its enrichment with zeolite particles in the composition of feed mixtures, leads to an increase in the content of macroand microelements with a significant decrease in antagonist elements [14][15].…”
