Growth and development of mixed bred Charollais x white-and-black young stock and black-and-white bull-calves since 8-month old age till and 15-month old age were studied in the conditions in the Republic of Belarus. In course of studied there were analyzed linear growth; young stock growth intensity; forage consumption; efficiency of experimental results. On the basis of obtained data there was determined the absolute growth rate of bull-calves at certain growing periods. Research results showed that dramatic changing of technology of management and feeding of mixed bred Charollais x white-and-black young stock bulls after weaning period caused the decrease of daily average live weight gain from 8-month old age till and 15-month old age in comparison with white-and-black cattle on 99 grams or 14%. Analysis of exterior of experimental animals confirmed the priority of mixed bred young cattle over white-and-black herdmates. They were characterized by massive corpus, wider and deeper barrel, wide withers, back and coupling

Research of the influence of biologically active preparations of natural origin on zoological indices and quality of animal products was studied by the example of their application in broiler chicken diets in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. On the basis of realized research it was established, that application of biologically active substances immunoamplifier Alveozan, probiotic Dialakt, probiotic Bifidoflorin liquid, prebiotic Biofon and prebiotic Biofon AIL (produced in the Republic of Belarus) did not render negative effect on quality of animal products (all studied meat samples had high quality). The received results testify to necessity of complex application of the above-stated preparations. Application of biologically active preparations made it possible to increase livability of growing birds on 100%, average live weight increase from 1,9 up to 5,1%, daily average weight gain - from 1,9 up to 5,1%, improvement of feed conversion ratio - from 18,3 up to 21%. All studied biologically active preparations made it possible to restore the physiological environment in poultry intestines, normal flora, to suppress the growth of pathogenic microorganisms. The above mentioned preparations could be applied both with preventive, and with the medical purposes

The purpose of research is to study influence of fodder additive Water Trit liquid on dynamics of live weight, natural resistance and determination of an optimal dose for pigs on growing. Thanks to рН decrease of intestines contents and presence of organic acids the additive is applied for disease prevention. Presence of organic acids stimulates the development of useful Lactobacillus micro flora in intestines gleam. From the received data positive influence of the fodder additive on a gain of body weight is visible. In the beginning of experiment the difference in body weight of a control and a trial groups was insignificant and made from 9,2 kg to 9,4 kg in the experimental group, and 9,3 kg - in the control group. In the end of experiment the difference in body weight was essential: 28,6 kg, 30,5 kg, 29,5 kg in the trial groups and 28,05 kg in the control. After application of the fodder additive Water Trit liquid in the trial groups there were noted the raised daily average weight gains: on 2,6% in the second, on 13,4% (P less than 0,05) - in the third and on 8,5% - in the fourth group in relation to control group. For studying of the influence of the fodder additive on animal organism there was carried out the blood testing: phagocytosis, bactericidal activity of blood serum, lysozyme activity of blood serum. Indexes on phagocytal index at animal of the control and trial groups were in the beginning of experiment approximately at one level. At 45-day age the indexes in the second and fourth trial groups were above the control ones on 5,2% and 8,9%, respectively. By the end of the experiment the phagocytal index in all four groups changed insignificantly. At studying of lysozyme activity of blood serum at pigs the given research have shown, that at 30-day age the indexes in the third and fourth trial groups were above the control, and indexes in the first group were above the standard of the control. At 70-day age the highest lysozyme activity of blood serum was in the second trial group and has made +16,0% to the control. It is necessary to notice, that on the 70th day this indicator was above the control in all three trial groups

Possibility of increasing of natural resistance of young livestock animals and productivity of piglets after application of experimental feed additive including dolomite powder was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. In course of study there were analyzed housing conditions of piglets; the hygienic examination of feeding rations; influence of dolomitic meal on piglet resistance and productivity. Piglets of the first (control) group were fed with standard total ration. Animals of the second and the third experimental groups were given dolomite powder in ratio of 1% and 2% of combined feed mass. Chemical content of dolomite powder, hematological indexes, disease incidence and piglet productivity were analyzed. The research results showed that in feeding rations of piglets in the analyzed swine breeding complex there was stated the deficit of calcium (14%), phosphorous (26%), magnesium (15%), cuprum (9%), zinc (27%) and manganese (27%). Research results showed that application of dolomite meal is efficient for the prophylaxis of mineral deficiency, and made it possible to increase the level natural resistance: serum bactericidal activity - on 16,4% and hemoglobin - on 19%. The optimal dolomite dose of dolomite was 2% and it promoted the lowering of disease incidence, increasing of viability and average daily weight gain

Research on studying of probiotics and prebiotics influence on natural resistance, hemogenesis, metabolism, growth, development and safety are spent on chickens of 1-37-day age in the conditions of clinic of the department of internal noncontagious diseases and the central resarch laboratory of research institute of applied veterinary medicine and biotechnology Vitebsk State Academy of Veterinary Medicine. It was established that the combined use of probiotics and prebiotics increases the defense, raises safety rate and stimulates body weight gain in broiler chickens. Hence, probiotics and prebiotics at joint application render expressed growth-promoting effect, promote high safety of young growth, disease decrease, increase in a weight gain, raise indicators of the general and local protection, stimulate hemogenesis and exchange processes during the most intense periods of bird cultivation. At separate application of probiotics and prebiotics these indicators were a little lower, but authentically above, than at chickens of control group | Исследования по изучению влияния пробиотиков и пребиотиков на естественную резистентность, гемопоэз, обмен веществ, рост, развитие и сохранность, проведены на цыплятах 1-37-дневного возраста в условиях клиники кафедры внутренних незаразных болезней и центральной научно-исследовательской лаборатории Научно-исследовательского института прикладной ветеринарной медицины и биотехнологии УО ВГАВМ. Совместное применение пробиотика и пребиотика усиливает защиту, повышает сохранность и стимулирует прирост массы тела цыплят-бройлеров. Следовательно, про пробиотики и пребиотики при совместном применении оказывают выраженное ростостимулирующее действие, способствуют высокой сохранности молодняка, снижению заболеваемости, увеличению прироста массы, повышают показатели общей и местной защиты, стимулируют гемопоэз и обменные процессы в наиболее напряженные периоды выращивания птицы. При раздельном применении пробиотиков и пребиотиков эти показатели были несколько ниже, но достоверно выше, чем у цыплят контрольной группы
