The influence of iron and germanium nanocompounds on the content of ceruloplasmin in the blood of sows and piglets obtained from them

The work is devoted to establishing the degree and nature of the effect of the application of iron and germanium nano compounds on the content of ceruloplasmin in the blood plasma of sows and piglets obtained from them. For this, two groups of sows (control and experimental) were selected; the pigs of the experimental group were given a complex of nano compounds of trace elements iron and germanium, and the ceruloplasmin content in the blood was evaluated. A reliable effect of the application of iron and germanium nanocompounds on the content of ceruloplasmin in the blood of sows was established – F = 25.5 > FU = 4.15; P < 0.001, which is manifested only after farrowing – gh²ᵪ = 0.48–0.74 (P ≤ 0.05–0.01). Thus, after farrowing (on the first and third day), the content of the enzyme in the blood of these animals was significantly higher than that of sows of the control group (12.7–13.5 %; P ≤ 0.05). It was established that the ceruloplasmin content in the blood of piglets obtained from sows that were given the mentioned metal nanocompounds on the second (gh²ᵪ = 0.52; P ≤ 0.05) and seventh (gh²ᵪ = 0.70; P ≤ 0.01) days of life of animals depends on the application of iron and germanium nanocompounds. In these piglets, the enzyme content two and seven days after birth is 13.3–20.0 % (P ≤ 0.05) higher than piglets obtained from sows that were not given nanocompounds. It was experimentally proven that the content of ceruloplasmin in the blood plasma of piglets obtained from sows that were given nano compounds of metals is directly related to its content in the blood of sows, in particular, the content of the enzyme in the blood of two- and 7-day-old piglets correlates with the content of the enzyme in the blood of sows on the day of farrowing – r = 0.91–0.95 (P ≤ 0.001). Therefore, the conducted studies indicate the effectiveness of using ferrum and germanium nanoparticles to correct the ceruloplasmin content in the blood of both sows and suckling piglets.
