Description

The invention relates to veterinary medicine, namely to agents that stimulate metabolism, animal growth rate, slaughter yield and meat quality, i.e. increasing sheep productivity.

Accelerating the development and growth of farm animals while reducing economic costs by 1 kg of weight gain is one of the main tasks of animal husbandry.

The action of natural zeolite is manifested in the digestive system. Passing through the gastrointestinal tract, the zeolite removes an excess of harmful gases, activates a number of digestive enzymes, which positively affects the absorption of nutrients, and promotes the removal of exo- and endotoxins from the body, including heavy metals.

In addition to numerous technological factors in the intensive management of sheep breeding, productive animals experience feed stress, which is one of the reasons for the spread of non-communicable diseases that impedes the achievement of high productivity.

Inadequate feeding, in addition to the characteristic signs (impaired function of the endocrine, immune systems and gastrointestinal tract), there is a disorder in the normal development of eggs and sperm, their number and fertility are reduced.

The lack of mineral elements in the feed, as well as the violation of their ratio lead to serious metabolic disorders. Due to mineral deficiency, osteomalacia, osteoporosis, rickets, tetany, salt deficiency, white muscle disease, anemia develop. Along with the general signs of the disease, specific symptoms characteristic of the insufficiency of each element are observed.

It becomes obvious that along with biogeochemical endemias of natural origin, endemic diseases should be studied, which are a reaction to macro- and microelementoses of the natural environment caused by human activities. A scientifically based content system implies the creation of environmental conditions that increase the adaptive abilities and resistance of animals, allow them to realize their potential productive and reproductive functions, and mitigate the negative effects of feed imbalance

Zeolites, enriching the body with the necessary micro- and macrocells, prepare the digestive tract for better absorption of the necessary substances by normalizing the microflora of the chyme of the gastrointestinal tract, which increases the degree of impact of digestive juices on food masses. Zeolite improves digestion by increasing the area of biochemical reactions in the intestine, sorption of low molecular weight metabolites.

Various means are known based on zeolites, which are mainly used as varieties of this mineral - clinoptilolite, permite.

Known mineral additive containing permite zeolite-containing tuff of the Pervomaisky deposit of the Chuvash Republic, which is used in animal husbandry for fattening young pigs (patent No. 2104655).

Also proposed is a tool using natural zeolite and sawdust (patent No. 2368235) and a multi-component tool for the prevention and treatment of intrauterine rickets, young rickets and metabolic disorders, including calcium glycerophosphate, calcium lactate, citrate, magnesium sulfate anhydrous, sulfur, iron lactate, potassium silicate, potassium iodide, calcium fluoride, lyophilized extract of ginseng, meat and bone meal (patent No. 2009663).

These methods do not ensure the normalization of metabolic processes in a sufficient volume, since when using them, the gastrointestinal tract of animals is not ready for optimal absorption of the drug used, or the composition is very complicated and not balanced enough for micro- and macroelement composition, as well as due to the high cost components.

The closest in technical essence to the claimed object is a method using permaite and additionally cobalt of chloride or cobalt of basic carbonate, copper sulfate or copper basic carbonate, zinc sulfate or zinc carbonate basic, potassium iodide stabilized with sodium thiosulfate (patent No. 2182798).

However, this method has several disadvantages. First of all, these are rather high recommended doses, which significantly increases its use and does not exclude the possibility of an overdose. It has also been proved that salts of trace elements, especially sulfate and hydrochloric acid, when mixed with vitamins accelerate their destruction.

The challenge is to increase animal productivity.

The technical result of this proposal is due to the fact that the introduction of the specified funds into the feed has a versatile effect on the whole body and on mineral metabolism, which leads to an increase in productivity.

A distinctive feature of the proposed product is the use, in addition to zeolite, of clinoptilolite-containing tuff with a particle diameter of 1-2 mm in the Shivyrtuyskoye deposit, the addition of sodium chloride to compensate for mineral deficiency, increase the resistance of young sheep in the post-weaning period of stress, increase their live weight gain, preservation, and prevent biogeochemical endemia.

In the ratio of components in wt. %:

Zeolite of the Shivyrtuysky field 40 Sodium chloride 60

The daily intake of 2-15 g per 1 lamb is poured into the feeders with oats and animals are allowed.

Case Study

The studies were conducted on the basis of the Ononskoye FSUE of the Shilkinsky district of the Transbaikal Territory.

The object of research was the lambs of the Transbaikal fine-fleeced breed of 2014, selected on the basis of analogues. Groups were formed: the experimental (n = 400), which was given the tool, and the control (n = 400), did not receive the tool. The duration of the experiment is 8 months.

During the research, all animals were in the same conditions. The feeding ration of all groups of experimental animals included meadow grass hay, oats and pasture on natural pastures, and mother's milk for up to 5 months.

Conducted daily monitoring of the general condition of the animals, behavior, consumption of feed and water.

To study the effect of the drug on the growth rate, live weight and daily average growth were determined.

The animals to which the agent was used exceeded the analogues from the control by 1.07 times in live weight and 1.09 times in average daily growth, respectively.

All experimental young animals had high indicators of meat productivity, paired carcasses of sheep of the experimental group exceeded the analogues from the control group in live weight by 1.08 times, in slaughter weight - 1.09 times, respectively. In the sheep of the experimental group, the amount of internal fat was 1.3 times greater.

The moisture content in the animal mass of the experimental group was 0.95 times lower relative to sheep from the control group.

In the meat of the sheep of the experimental group receiving the product, the protein and fat content were 1.21 and 1.18 times higher, respectively, and the ash content was 0.85 times lower compared to animals from the control group.
