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 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 was analyzed the influence of a fodder additive Water Trit liquid on quality of water and productivity of swine. Research results showed that administration of the fodder additive Water Trit liquid on the basis of organic acids promoted the increasing of productivity of pigs on 8,2% (P less than 0,01) in comparison with pigs of a control group. Improvement of biochemical indices of blood at experimental pigs was marked. The optimum dosage of the fodder additive Water Trit liquid was 4 ml/l of consumed water. Application of the fodder additive at feeding of pigs positively influenced on quality of water and promoted the destruction of pathogenic microflora in it. The results of tests of water by chemical indices, dynamics of body weight after application of acidulent; fiber fraction, albuminous factor were showed.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was analyzed the efficiency of application of a probiotic lactic casein feed additive DKM which was developed in the Institute of Microbiology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. The analyzed additive contained specially selected lactic-acid bacteria with a high bioartificial potential of metabolites. In course of the experiment there was studied the consumption of fodders (milk; oats; mixed fodders) by experimental calves; dynamics of live weight gain in the beginning and at the end of the experiment; average daily weight gain. Also, there were analyzed the background indexes of blood serum of calves, as well as the indexes of blood serum of calves in a month after application of DKM additive. Research results showed that application of the feed additive DKM promoted better palatability and use of fodders and rendered positive influence on animal productivity. Also, there was marked the normalization of metabolism that was proved y the laboratory tests of blood serum.

It is established, that application of laser radiation of low intensity of infra-red area of a spectrum together with a constant magnetic field (an exposition 180 seconds) promotes correction of immunity of an organism of newborn calves that leads to increase in intensity of growth, and decrease in disease of young growth

Appraisement of new mixed fodder formulas for the fattening performance test was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus by the example prevailing in the country Large White breed. Barley (Hordeum vulgare) proved to be one of the main components in swine feeding in Belarus. Forage wheat in mixed fodders for the fattening performance served a basic energy source and contained less dietary fibre than barley, as well as less concentration of antinutrients which interfere with digestion of rations than others crops (rye, triticale). Soybean and sunflower oil meal were included into analysed mixed fodders as the protein sources. Application of new mixed fodder formulas for fattening control realization according to the technical specifications of the Republic of Belarus 600039106.044 - 2007 was realized by the example of gilts of pigs of Large White breed. Research results showed that new studied formulas made it possible to obtain the higher intensity of swine development indices (on 52-72 grams) in comparison with the traditional formulas of mixed fodders (technical specifications of the Republic of Belarus 06093149.065-2000). New mixed fodder recipes did not render harmful effect on health and safety of livestock. At the same time, the analysed recipes of mixed fodders did not authentically influence the carcass indicators (carcass length, fat thickness, loin eye area, ham weight, slaughter yield)

Influence of 33 imported heads Landrace breed boars of foreign selection on feeding performance and meat productivity of swine of the Belarusian Meaty breed was studied in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus for the enhancement of Belarusian breeds genealogical structure. There was stated the positive influence of Landrace Breed on feeding performance and meat productivity of mixed bred stores obtained after the introductive crossing with sows of Belarusian Meaty breed which was expressed in the predominancy of mixed bred hogs over the purebred ones at the stage of fattening performance test: at the age of reaching 100 kg body weight – on 0,7%; at average daily weight gain - on 1,5%; at feed consumption - on 1,2%. Mixed bred stores also had thinner back fat (on 0,9 mm) and bigger loin (on 0,4 square cm). There was stated the one-sided influence of boars of Landrace Breed on feeding performance and meat productivity indices of mixed breeds. It was established, that hybrids of four lines (Zaboj, Zalet, Zont and Bison) with regard to control groups showed the effect of heterosis at age of achievement of body weight of 100 kg, at a daily average weight gain and at forage consumption in the following rates: 1,5% (Р less than 0,05), 2,8% and 1,5% (Р less than 0,05) for Zaboj line; 2,3%, 4,9% and 2,1% (Р less than 0,01) for Zalet lines; 1,4%, 3% and 1,5% (Р less than 0,05) for Zont lines; 3% (Р less than 0,001), 6,7% and 2,7% for a line of Bison. In meat productivity indices there was stated the in-between character of inheritance which caused the decreasing of fat thickness and increasing of loin eye area at descendants of trial groups of lines: Zaboj, Zalet, Zenit, Zont on 0,88 mm (Р less than 0,05) and 0,6 square cm, 1,7 mm (Р less than 0,01) and 2,1 square cm (Р less than 0,001), 1,3 mm (Р less than 0,01) and 0,9 square cm, 1,4 mm

Traditional raw materials in Belarus for mixed fodders production are wheat, barley, oats, rye, peas, lupine, sunflower and rape cakes, bran. However, productive action of these forages is limited because of presence of antinutritious factors and the raised cellulose content. In the Republic of Belarus there was organized production of national enzyme fodder additive Fekord 2004. Peculiar feature of the presented enzyme complex was addition of into its structure of enzyme glucoamylase, promoting hydrolytic starch splitting, and accordingly, the increasing of absorbency of difficult carbohydrates of forages. It was especially important for stores at early stages. Thereupon it was expedient to study the efficiency of application specified multienzyme composition in diets of growing and fattened stores. It was established, that enrichment of mixed fodder with the analysed fodder fermental additive at the rate of 0,13 and 0,15 kg per ton of mixed fodder made it possible to increase the growth rate of pigs and lower charges for forages per unit of body weight gain. Higher economic return on the fodder enzymic additive an additional gain of body weight appeared at its introduction in quantity of 0,15 kg per ton of mixed fodder

In animal feeding technology much attention is given to application of biologically active substances for metabolism stimulation. One of such biologically active substances is carnitine, an anabolic preparation of nonhormonal nature, cofactor in system of oxidation of fat acids. It participates in processes of acetylation at oxidation of fat acids together with acyl-CoA and other enzymes, promotes carrying over of cytoplasmatic Coa-derivatives of fat acids inside mitochondrions. It increases absorption speed from a digestive path of nutrients of forage, raises use of fat acids for the power purposes. Under its influence synthesis of triglycerides decreases and synthesis of phospho-lipids increases. Carnitine also protects cells against toxic accumulation of components of acyl-CoA of endogenic or exogenous origins, such as acylic groups of carnitine ethers which then can pass into liver for dissimilation or in kidneys for allocation in urine. Carnitine synthesis satisfies body requirements, but in the conditions of a hightened stress, high productivity, as well as in the conditions of lowered carnitine content in forage or in the conditions of the increased content of fats it should be applied as additive to diet. As a result of the realized study it was established, that the optimal quantity of carnitine application in diets for stores husbandry and fattening is dose of 50 g/t of mixed fodders. Application of carnitine in an optimum dose renders the positive impact on animal organism, promotes the increasing average daily weight gain on 5,1% (Р less than 0,001). Application of carnitine in diets of swine stores increases a slaughter yield on 2,1%, meat content per carcass - on 2,3%, a loin eye area - on 8,8%. Carnitine application in a dose 50 g/t of mixed fodders makes it possible to receive the additional profit at a rate of 4,57 USD per 1 head
