Analysis of the efficiency of application of fermented milk supplementary feed DKM (Belarus) produced on the basis of bacteria strain Lactobacilus acidophilus 55/06 in calve diets was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. Influence of feeding with acidified with the trial milk additive on forage palatability, biochemical blood structure and calve productivity was studied; economic efficiency of DKM use for processing of whole milk and its use in rations of calves was defined. Experimental batches of DKM fermented milk supplementary feed were produced at Grodno Medical Preparations Plant (Belarus). It was issued in the sterile corked polyethylene 5, 10 and 20 liter bottles or canisters. The fermented milk supplementary feed DKM could be stored at the temperature from 0 deg С up to 15 deg С. Shelf-life – 3 months from the moment of production. The additive represents the homogeneous mass of viscous consistence of cream color of various shades with a sour-milk smell. The carried out economic calculations showed, that as a result of growing capacity increase it animals of a trial group and reception of an additional total live weight gain there was stated the 6,5% decrease of expenses for fodder unit production in the experimental group. However, due to a high cost of acidified milk the cost of fodder unit in trial group was on 6,8% higher. As a result, the cost price of 1 kg weight gain in trial group (despite high additional weight gains) was stated at the level of control group. Application of fermented milk supplementary feed DKM in calve diets made it possible to lower calf disease incidence and to increase calf productivity on 11,8% without increasing the cost price of production

Balanced complete feeding proved to be one of the major conditions of animal productivity increase and improvement of their reproductive qualities. Full value of feeding could be obtained at the expense of forage quality improvement and perfection of structure of the rations providing the increasing of metabolic energy use by breeding bull-calves. Analysis of the efficiency of metabolic energy use by the replacement bull calves under conditions of various sugar and protein ratio was realized in the Republic of Belarus. Research results showed that enrichment of replacement bull calves (with 325-405 kg of live weight) rations with easy digestible carbohydrates (sugar and starch) in ratio of 32% from a dry matter ration, including 15% of stable starch made it possible to increase the transformation of metabolic energy into energy of body weight gain on 21,73 - 23,96 MJ or on 10,3%, that as a result correspondingly increased the daily average weight gains on 7,9% and reduced the expenses for forage energy for 7,1% counting on an energy unit. According to the ejaculate volume indices the bull calves of the second experimental group surpassed analogues of a control group on 14,8%, and according to sperm concentration indices - on 12%. The average quantity of the frozen doses of sperm has made 65%

In the Republic of Belarus the grain part of mixed fodders is basically formed by the following cereal cultures: wheat (Triticum aestivum), barley (Hordeum vulgare), oat (Avena saliva) and triticale. Rye is applied in the limited quantity in pig feeding despite all its advantages: large areas of cultivation, stable yielding capacity, low requirements to growing conditions, possibility to obtain ecologically clean production, low prime cost of grain. Rye in swine diets forms viscous solutions which break digestion process, worsen their fixation and accordingly reduce animal weight gain. Also, it was determined that rye grain had high quantity of pentosans (non-starch polysaccharides) which suppress the overall digestibility and accessibility of proteins. One of the methods of decreasing the negative influence of anti-nutritional properties of rye on pig organism and improving its digestibility is the application of fodder enzyme additives. In course of the realized investigation there was analyzed the influence of foreign fodder additives on rye-containing (Sk-21 – 10% and SK-26 – 20%) diets in swine rations. The following enzyme additives were analyzed: Rovabio TM Excel (France); Finase TM (Germany); Avizyme and Porzyme 8100 TM (United Kingdom). Application of enzyme additives Avizyme, Rovabio and Finase in mixed fodders containing rye (SK-21 - 10% of rye) for pigs at the age of 50-107 days made it possible to increase live weight on 16,8-21,7% and lower expenses for forages (fodder units) per 1kg of weight gain on - 12,3-18,2%. Intensity of live weight gain from 50-day up to 190-days age was the following: in a control group -80,8 kg, in the first experimental group fed with Rovabio - 88,6 kg, in the second experimental group fed with Avizyme - 89,7 kg, in the third experimental group fed with Finase - 84,6 kg. Research results showed that enzymes Avizyme and Rovabio rendered the highest influence on mixed fodders containing rye (SK-21 - 10% of rye and SK-26 - 20% of rye)

Research was directed towards selection of national, accessible and cheap ingredients of whole milk replacers in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. The efficiency of compounding preparation and its use in calves feeding at an early age was analysed. There was developed the technological scheme of application of hydrodynamic installation which operates according cavitating principle and makes it possible to receive the homogeneous and finely divided mass directly from grain forage that is very important for preparation of milk replacer. New equipment gives the chance to lower power consumption on 17%, to receive economic benefit. During testing of developed of milk replacer-1 (used for calves feeding since one month old) and milk replacer-2 (used for calves feeding since two months old) and their comparison with the whole milk replacer Kalvolak (the Netherlands) it was revealed, that indices of a daily average weight gain in calves of the first group fed with foreign milk replacer, and in calves of the second groups, which were fed with the national milk replacer, did not show authentic differences (806 and 816 g). However, the prime cost of 1kg of live weight gain in the second case was on 43% cheaper than in the first one. The cost price of 1kg of live weight gain of calves on expenses for fodder units in trial group was on 33% cheaper in comparison with the control group

In conditions of the Republic of Belarus much attention is given to optimization of energy and protein content in diets of dry cows. Analysis of the influence of different energy and protein ratio in dry cows diets on their productivity was realized. Increasing of protein and energy balance standards of dry cows during the winter period on 10 and 15% at the expense of introduction of protein, vitamin and mineral supplements (PVMS) made it possible to increase the daily average weight gain of animals on 5,4% and 12,2%, live weight of calves at a birth on 3,6% and 8,1% and their daily average weight gain over the first month - on 3,9% and 12,1%, respectively. Feeding with PVMS produced on the basis of peas and rape made it possible to raise the digestibility of nutritive substance on 1,4-14% and accessibility of all mineral substances on 0,4-10%. The increasing of energy and protein ratio on 15% in diets of pregnant dry cows rendered the positive effect on dairy efficiency. Fodder expenses for fodder unit production decreased on 5,5 and 6,8%, respectively. Inclusion of PVMS in mixture with pea and rape flour for dry pregnant cows during the summer period made it possible to raise their live weight on 5,9% and 9,7%, weight of calves at birth on 4,2% and 7,3%, and their daily average weight gain - on 5,7 and 9,4%. Optimization of power and protein fodder of pregnant dry cows promotes the increasing of milk yields in the first 100 days of the subsequent lactation on 5,1% and 9,9% and the decreasing of forage expenses for production unit on 4,6-9,1%

Studying of influence of various levels of selenium on growth, protein structure of blood serum, natural resistance, and reproductive performance of pedigree bull-calves was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. It was established, that feeding with an optimum dose of selenium (0,4 mg per 1 kg of dry matter) in rations of replacement bull-calves during the raising period promoted the increasing of daily average weight gain on 6,8%, indexes of natural resistance - on 0,5-13,9%, and sperm production quality - on 4,5-27,3%. In the conditions of optimization of selenium level of in diets the protein structure of blood serum of replacement bull-calves exceeded the similar index at control animals by the crude protein index - on 8,3 (Р less than 0,05), by albumine and alpha globulin -on 2,2% and 1,6%, respectively. Application of selenium in dose of 0,4 mg per 1 kg of dry matter made it possible to increase the indexes of natural resistance on 0,5-13,9%. Increase of selenium dose up to 0,4 mg per 1 kg of dry matter in made it possible to increase the quantity and quality of sperm of bull-calves, that was proved by the increasing of ejaculate volume on 4,5%, concentration of male germ cells in ejaculate – on 15,7% (Р less than 0,05) and male germ cells activity - on 7,3% (Р less than 0,001)
