In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was analyzed the efficiency of application of organic form of selenium Sel-plex in feeding of producer bulls. In course of the study there was showed the dynamics of live weight and average daily weight gain of producer bulls; blood indexes of analimals by the end of the experiment; sperm quality of experimental bulls. As a result of research it was established, that application of organic form of selenium Sel-plex in feeding of breeding bulls during the summer and winter periods in a dose of 0,4 mg/kg of dry matter of a ration promoted the increasing of daily average live weight gain on 6,4-8,1%, improvement of morphological and biochemical blood structure, increasing of indices of natural resistance on 0,5-6,1% and sperm production quality - on 7,3-28,0%.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was analyzed the efficiency of administration of nonconventional feed materials in diets of highly productive cows and its influence of indexes of natural resistance at different physiological stages of animals. In the process of studying of adaptation processes of highly productive cows at different stages of lactation it was determined that feeding with nonconventional melanoidin-humic additives at different physiological periods rendered a positive influence of highly productive cows, promoted the increasing of natural resistance of animals and improvement of immuno-humoral blood indexes. Administration of an additive Ehkolin in a ration of highly productive cows with stimulation for increasing milk flow in a dose of 100 ml per head promoted the increasing of blood serum bactericidal activity on 5,2%, beta-lysine activity - on 7,2%. Feeding of animals at a basic lactation period with 50 ml of preparation Ehkolin-2 provided the maximum increasing of lysozyme activity of blood serum (on 6,2%) and beta-lysine activity of blood serum (on 12,7%), and also promoted the activation of leukocytopoiesis. Addition of Ehkolin-3 in ration structure of dry cows in a dose of 750 ml increased the indexes of lysozyme activity of blood serum on 7-8,6%, bactericidal activity of blood serum - on 2,2-3,6% and beta-lysine activity of blood serum - on 2,2-3,6%.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was studied the efficiency of application of granulated and extruded lupine (Lupinus) in feeding of bull claves. It was determined that after lupine extruding the quantity of sugar in it increased on 45% due to lowering of starch content. The inclusion of extruded lupine into bull calves diets made it possible to increase the digestibility of dry and organic substances, protein and nitrogen-free extractive substances. The highest average daily weight gain (842 gram) was stated at claves which were fed with mixed fodder with 15% of extruded lupine; this was on 7,5% than in a control group. In the conditions of feeding with the granulated lupine the average daily weight gain increased on 5,3% in comparison with crushed one. In course of study there was analyzed the dependence chemical composition of lupine on the processing method; blood composition of the studied animals; diets of experimental animals; digestibility of nutrient substances of forages; balance and intake of nitrogen; biochemical blood composition; changes of live weight and average daily weight gain.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there were studied the productive and interior indexes of bull calves which were fed with dried distiller's grains. Inclusion into bull calves diets of the mixed fodder containing 33% of dried distiller's grains made it possible to increase the concentration of volatile fatty acids on 16-18%, albuminous nitrogen - on 4-7%, quantity of infusorians - on 16-17%, as well as to reduce the ammonia level in a ruminal liquid from 23,4 up to 17 mg%. Inclusion of 33% of dried distiller's grains into structure of mixed fodder and feeding the same quantity of fresh distiller's grains promoted increasing of nutrient digestibility on respectively 4,0-5,9% and 3,5-4,5%, nitrogen retention - on 13%. Increasing of level of dried distiller's grains in structure of grain forage up to 67% increased the digestibility of nutrients on 1,5-2% and nitrogen retention - on 4%. Substitution in mixed fodder for bull-calves of 33 and 67% of fodder grain by dried distiller's grains made it possible to increase daily average live weight gain of animals respectively on 10 and 4%. Feeding of dried and fresh distiller's grains at simultaneous introduction in rations of complex mineral additive promoted the activation of metabolic processes that was proved by increasing of crude protein of blood at 6-7% and 5-8%, as well as decreasing of concentration of urea - on 25 and 22% respectively. Use of 33% of dried distiller's grains as a part of mixed fodder for cattle young stock proved to be economically effective and allowed to lower the cost price of a live weight gain on 10-11%. Feeding with fresh distiller's grains allowed to lower the prime cost price on 7% and to receive additional profit.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was analyzed the efficiency of feeding of a new protein vitamin and mineral additive containing national local protein and mineral raw material sources in diets of 12-16-month old heifers. Instead of sunflower extraction cake the heifers were fed with the protein-vitamin and mineral additive which contained rape grain (Brassica napus), lupine (Lupinus) grain as well as mineral and vitamin additives based on halites, phosphogypsum, phosphate, sapropel and premix in dose of 20-25% by weight as a part of mixed fodders. The additive was used against the background of rations with green mass from a cereal and leguminous mixture - 56-57%, mixed fodder - 36-37%, molasses - 6-7%. In accordance with nutritional value indexes the proposed additive rendered the positive influence on forage consumption, indexes of ruminal digestion, as well as on the morphological and biochemical blood composition. It application made it possible to obtain daily average weight gains of animals at the level of 812-827 grams within forage expenses of 7,0-7,2 сentner of fodder units. Inclusion of the protein vitamin and mineral additive with local protein and mineral raw materials in rations of calves made it possible to lower the mixed fodder cost price on 12-15% and the cost price of 1 centner of gain during the summer period - on 11-13%.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there were determined the fattening and slaughter qualities of swine as well as the evaluation of their pork production in the conditions of inclusion into their diets of a biologically active substance on the basis of field caraway (Carum carvi L.). Research results showed that in the production conditions the administration of the biologically active additive in a dose of 7 gram per 100 kilogram of live weight of pigs made it possible to increase their daily average gain from 627,9 grams in a control group up to 687,2 grams (or on 9,44% (P less than 0,999)), to increase their preslaughter and slaughter weight respectively on 3,76% and 6,42%, dressing percentage and carcass yield – respectively on 1,71 and 1,67%. According to the indexes of meat quantity in diverting weirs of the experimental pigs surpassed the control group on 3,03%, or 2,70 kg. The fat content in the half carcasses of the experimental group was authentically lower than the indices of control animals on 0,48 kg or on 2,18%. The hock weight of experimental animals with high confidence exceeded pigs of the control group on 1,15 kg, or on 10,45%. They practically did not differ from the control group according the indexes of thickness of pork fat at the level of 6-7 chest vertebras, and in the area of a muscular eye surpassed them on 4,0 square сm or on 7,72%.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was realized a comparative estimation of efficiency of the increased level of phosphorus, calcium, copper, zinc, cobalt, iodine and vitamins A and D in comparison with regulations of the All-Union Academy of Agricultural Sciences of the Soviet Union (1985) and the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences (2003) for pregnant cows in a dry period at summer feeding. Also, there was studied the digestibility of nutritive substances of forages in cow diets, as well as the evaluation of their after-effect on revelation of dairy productivity indexes in the subsequent two months of lactation, biochemical blood indexes and payment of forage byproducts. As a result of application of moderately increasing levels of macro- and trace elements, vitamin D, and phosphorus in particular on 10,0% in comparison with 15,0% and existing level in rations of pregnant cows there was stated a slight decreasing of pregnancy duration of animals on 0,10 day. Also, there was marked an increasing of milk yield of milk with 4% fat content on 1,64% and 4,48%, the growth and development of calves in the prophylactic period on 4,18 and 4,61%,; and the was an improvement of organic substance digestibility on 1,52 and 1,78%. Besides, there was revealed more moderate number of leukocytes and content of crude protein.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was studied the efficiency of application of forage chemical preservatives Kormoplyus-1, Kormoplyus-2, and Kormoplyus-3 for grass fodder conservation. The analyzed preservatives contained acetous acid, urotropine and sodium acetate (only in Kormoplus-2). In course of the study there were established experimental batches with the studied sreservative; there was determined a chemical composition of prepared forages; in physiological and scientifical and economic experiment there was analyzed the feeding efficiency of cereal ensilage. Research results showed that application of preservatives Kormoplyus-1 and Kormoplyus-2 2 for preparation of cereal ensilage made it possible to receive a high quality ensilage and to increase the dry matter safety on 4,2-8,7% and protein on 12-9,4% on comparison with storage without preservatives. Also, it made it possible to increase the digestibility of dry matter in cattle diets respectively on 5.5% and3.7%; organic substance - on 5.5% and 4.0%; fibre - on 16,5% and 15,0%, and also to increase nitrogen deposition on 17,4 and 20,8%. Feeding with forages preserved with Kormoplyus-1 and 2 did not render negative influence on a health state and biochemical indices of animal blood.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there were analyzed the efficiency of 13-18-month old young stock of cattle bred for meat in the conditions of various energy value nutrition levels with the determination of nutrients intake of a diet. It was established that use of rations with various level of metabolic energy and protein breakage rendered the positive influence on nutrient digestibility of rations. This made it possible to improve the digestibility of dry and organic substances, nitrogen-free extractive substances and fibre at the bull calves which were fed with 63% of cleavable protein, as well as to increase the metabolic energy up to 10% in the ration, surpassing the control indexes respectively on 3.1; 2.5; 2.8; and 2.9 items. Adjournment from the acquired nitrogen considerably increased and made up to 64-70%. Productivity of fattening young cattle stock made it possible to obtain 977.7-1011.0 gram of live weight gain. As a result, the growth energy was stated at the level of 15,90-17,33 МJ in the conditions of conversion of metabolic energy into growth of 13,81-14,26% and expenses of metabolic energy of the ration per 1 MJ in live weight gain of 4,72-5,46 MJ.
