Afeeding trial was conducted in layers for a period of8 weeks (23-30 weeks old) to evaluate the effect of chromium picolinate supplementation on egg yolk cholesterol and egg chromium content in layers.Atotal of (n=120) layers were randomly distributed in completely randomized design into 4 treatmentgroupseachwith2 replicates of 5chicks.The layers of treatment group T1(control)were provided water without chromiumwhile those of T2,T3andT4were provided water containing 200, 400 and 600 ppb chromium / litre respectively.At the end of feeding trial, six eggs from each replicate, on last three days were used for egg yolk cholesterol and egg chromium studies. The results indicated that the total cholesterol andLDL cholesterol content of eggs were significantly (P0.05) reduced and HDL-cholesterol content significantly increased in 400 and 600 ppb chromium supplemented group of layers. Whereas chromium content of eggs increased with increasing levels of chromium supplementation. It was concluded that organic chromium supplementation up to 600 ppb level through water may be advisable to reduce egg yolk total cholesterol and LDL- cholesterol and improved HDL-cholesterol and egg chromium content.

Analysis of efficiency of prebiotics and probiotics and different systems of their application for the focused formation of bacteriocenosis of gastro-intestinal tract of calves was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. There were used 7 groups of calves: 1 – clinically healthy; 2 – calves with diarrheal syndrome which did not get preparations; 3 – calves were administrated daily with liquid probiotic Bifidoflorin Zhidkij in dose 20 ml in course of 20 days; 4 – calves were administrated daily with prebiotic Biofon with colostral milk or milk in dose 20ml in course of 20 days; 5 – calves were administrated daily with prebiotic Biofon-AIL in dose 20 ml in course 20 days; 6 – calves were administrated with probiotic Bifidoflorin Zhidkij simultaneously with prebiotic Biofon; 7 – calves were administrated with probiotic Bifidoflorin Zhidkij in combination with prebiotic Biofon-AIL. In course of studies there was analyzed the age-specific dynamics of bifidus bacteria, lactic acid bacillus, and Escherichia quantities in calves excrements. Research results showed that application of the proposed prebiotics and probiotics promoted the earlier and active contamination of intestines with obligate anaerobe gram-positive flora with its dominative position in relation to gram-negative nonsporeforming facultative anaerobic flora. At the stage of the second aging immunodeficiency the analyzed preparations rendered the resolving effect. The highest positive indexes were obtained after combined application of probiotic Bifidoflorin Zhidkij with prebiotic Biofon-AIL

The immune status of chickens, pigs and calves depends on the content of protective factors in incubatory egg, mother colostrum and timely transfer to their posterity. At young growth in postnatal ontogenesis it is allocated three age immune deficiencies. The first is connected with untimely receipt transovarian and colostoral factors of the protection, the second is caused by an expenditure of passively transferred protective factors of protection and immaturity of own immune system. The third age immune deficiency arises at sharp transfer of young growth into new type of feeding and concerns, first of all, disorders of local protection of a digestive path. Timely application the probiotic enterobifidin, baktril-2, bifidoflorin, developed by Vitebsk State Academy of Veterinary Medicine together with Institute of microbiology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, microbic polysaccharides salmopul and vistimulin, received together with Vitebsk biofactory, and also diamiksan allows to prevent development of immune deficiencies and on their background gastroenteric and respiratory diseases of young growth, to stimulate animal growth and to improve quality of meat production, decrease economic efficiency and ecological safety, considerably allows to reduce application of antimicrobic preparations (antibiotics, Sulfanilamidum, Nitrofuranums, etc.) | Иммунный статус цыплят, поросят и телят зависит от содержания защитных факторов в инкубационном яйце, молозиве матерей и своевременной передаче их потомству. У молодняка в постнатальном онтогенезе выделяется три возрастных иммунных дефицита. Первый связан с несвоевременным поступлением трансовариальных и колостральных факторов защиты, второй обусловлен расходованием пассивно перенесенных защитных факторов защиты и незрелостью собственной иммунной системы. Третий возрастной иммунный дефицит возникает при резком переводе молодняка на новый тип кормления и касается, прежде всего, нарушения местной защиты пищеварительного тракта. Своевременное применение пробиотиков энтеробифидина, бактрила-2, бифидофлорина, разработанных Витебской государственной академией ветеринарной медицины совместно с Институтом микробиологии НАН Беларуси, сальмопула и витстимулина, совместно полученных с Витебской биофабрикой микробных полисахаридов, а также диамиксана позволяет профилактировать развитие иммунных дефицитов и возникающих на их фоне желудочно-кишечных и респираторных болезней молодняка, стимулировать рост животных и улучшать качество мясной продукции, повышать экономическую эффективность и экологическую безопасность, значительно сократить применение противомикробных препаратов (антибиотиков, сульфаниламидов, нитрофуранов и др.)

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there were studied biochemical indexes of calf blood serum against the background of application of probiotic preparations Bilavet C. Results of research showed that administration of probiotic preparations from the first day till the six day and from the fourteenth day till the nineteenth day of calf life with the preventive purpose rendered the simulative influence on indexes of natural resistance, which were accompanied with the increasing of total protein quantity in blood on 2,9-5,9%, as well as the increasing of protein fractions, in particular, globulin-rich fraction on 4,2-6,4%. Administration of probiotic preparation Bilavet С to calves rendered the positive influence on blood biochemical indexes, promoted the uptaking and better accumulation of mineral substances: content of crude calcium, inorganic phosphorus, magnesium, iron increased on 15,3%, 10,5%, 13,2% and 3,6%, respectively.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there were analyzed the efficiency of application of a new mineral additive produced of the basis of carnallite brine (the national local raw material) as a part of mixed fodders for feeding of young stock of cattle. There was analyzed its influence on digestibility of a diet nutrients in cattle rations and on animal productivity. Inclusion of carnallite brine in mixed fodders structure for fattening young cattle rendered a positive influence on forage palatability. Forage consumption on a per head basis increased on 5,4%. Optimum dose of addition of carnallite brine in mixed fodder - 0,85%. Feeding of young cattle with the experimental mixed fodders did not render negative influence on hematological indices and physiological condition of animals. Use in young cattle rations of the mixed fodder containing 0,85% of carnallite brine promoted the increasing of nutrient digestibility on 3,4-5,7%. In the conditions of feeding of mixed fodders with other doses of carnallite did not cause any changes in digestibility of nutrients. Feeding of the prepared mixed fodder with 0,85% of carnallite brine to young growth of cattle made it possible to increase the growth energy on 5%.

Studying of therapeutic effectiveness of metabolic probiotic Diamixan (sterile concentrate of waste products of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus debrueckii, and Streptococcus salivarius) against piglet gastroenteritis appearing at weaning period was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. The analyzed preparation contained complex of substances: bioartificial lactic acid, amino acids, polysaccharides, and some other ingdredients. In course of analysis of the state of intestinal microbiocenosis there were analyzed the following indexes: bifidus bacteria; lactic acid bacillus; E. coli; enterococcus; Proteus; Staphylococcus saprophyticus; Clostridia; yeast-like fungi; enterobacteria. Research results showed that application of the examined preparation made it possible to shorter the terms of animal recovery on 2,2 days, as well as to facilitate the severity of a disease. Bottle feeding of the metabolic probiotic promoted the stabilization and normalization of the main hematological indexes. The analyzed preparation created the optimal pH in lumen of the intestine, inhibited the rowth of opportunistic pathogenic bacteria, promoted quicker reconstruction of microecological status by means of normalization of standard flora of bifidus bacteria and lactic acid bacillus

Investigation of influence of complex probiotic preparation Laktimet obtained by means of cultivation of bifidus bacteria and lactic acid bacillus on morphological indexes of pancreatic gland of laying hens was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. Two groups of laying hens of 121-130 days old were used in the experiment. The experimental hens were given probiotic Laktimet with water in dose of 1 ml/head every day in 4 cycles during 7 days and with 7 days intervals. Total condition, dynamics of body weight, and egg production were estimated. Research results showed that body weight of experimental hens increased on 6,4 % on the 10-th day; on 12,1% - on the 24-th day; on 6% - on the 40-th day; and 7,5% - on the 50-th day of experiment. Pancreas weight of experimental hens increased on 4-9%. Acinus size increased on 11%. Morphological indexes in exocrine pancreatic cells showed that altitude of basal pole increased on 3-7%. Application of probiotic Laktimet rendered positive influence on laying hens that was evident in increasing of their productivity (there was an increasing of live weight on 4-8%, and egg-laying capacity – on 18-33%). The positive dynamics of the majority of morphofunctional indexes of exocrinous and endocrine parts of pancreatic gland proved its significant role in maintenance of general state of laying hens and metabolic processes

Studying of efficiency of application of a natural biological control agent BioLAD obtained as a result of cultivation of Fusarium sambucinum fungus in feeding of broiler chickens was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. There were studied 100 broiler chickens of Ross-308 cross. Broiler chickens of the first (control) group were fed with standard diet with PK-5-1. Broiler chickens of the experimental groups starting from one day old age till the end of the growing period (41 days old) were fed with feed supplement BioLAD in different doses: 0,25 ml/head (second group), 0,5 ml/head (third group), 1 ml/head (fourth group). Research results showed that natural biological control agent BioLAD in dose of 0,5 ml/head made it possible to increase chicken live weight on 11,2 %, viability - on 4,2%. Feeding charges per 1 kg of live weight gain were1,89 kg (second group), 1,81 kg (third group), 1,90 kg (fourth group). It made it possible to decrease the combined feed charges on 6,4% (second group), on 10,4% (third group), and on 5,9% (fourth group). Application of biological control agent BioLAD had an effect on poultry growth activity, promoted high level of chickens viability, increased the indices of general and local protection, stimulated metabolic processes

Data on studying of efficiency of application of immunobiological preparations on efficiency and other clinical and biochemical indicators for chickens-broilers are cited. It is established, that their application to chickens-broilers promotes increase of biological value of fowl as foodstuff and is economically expedient. Application of a preparation the Biococktail-NK in an optimum dose 0,1 - 0,2 ml/goal (10,0-20,0 million microbic bodies) has allowed to increase intensity of growth of chickens-broilers by 3,5%, to lower forage expenses for production of a gain of body weight of 1 kg on 4,95%, to raise safety of young growth of birds on 3,4 % and to lower a case of birds to 1,6% (technological norm of 5%). The carried out calculations have shown, that introduction of the Biococktail-NK in a ration of broilers is economically justified, as safety of young growth in 4th trial group has raised on 3,4%, in the third - on 2,5%, in the second - on 1,3%. On the basis of the spent research fowl of the delivered samples in which ration it was entered the probiotic Biococktail-NK from calculation 0,1 - 0,2 ml/goal (10,0-20,0 million microbic bodies) since daily age within the first 5 days into 4 cycles with an interval of 7 days till the end of the cultivation period is established, that on organoleptic, physical and chemical, bacteriological indicators, and also biological value and harmlessness does not concede to meat of control group and is good-quality. In the literature there are data about influence of biologically active substances on growth and development of bird. Despite it, about influence of probiotical and immunostimulatory preparations as separately, and in a complex with probiotics, on an organism of chickens-broilers it is not enough data that induces carrying out of scientific research in the given direction. Simultaneous use of probiotics on the basis of an intestinal stick in rations of chickens-broilers is the perspective directions. Proceeding from it, working out of new effective ways of increase of chickens-broilers efficiency with a view of reception of ecologically pure and safe products of poultry farming is actual for poultry-farming economy of Belarus.
