Application of Globigen Jump Start feed additive in feeding lactating sows and piglets
T. Y. Prudyus | Y. I. Kyryliv
Modern methods of pig breeding increasingly use various immunotropic, probiotic agents and feed additives that affect the intestinal microbiota when used in feeding farrowing and lactating sows. The research was conducted in the conditions of a pig farm in the Kyiv region. The number of sows at the pig complex is 500 heads, PIC genetics. Clinically healthy sows with 2–3 farrowing and without rest with similar performance were selected for the study. Two groups of sows were formed by analogs, which were kept in one farrowing ward 5 days before farrowing, with 8 heads in each of the control and experimental groups. For the experiment on sows and piglets in the early rearing period, the Globigen Jump Start feed additive was used. We studied the effect of feeding Globigen Jump Start feed additive, which contains specific lgY immunoglobulins in rations for gilt sows and piglets in the early growing period in the amount of 1 kg and 2 kg per ton of compound feed, respectively. As a result of research, it was established that feeding the drug mentioned above to sows contributed to better preservation of the live weight of lactating sows by 20% compared to sows of the control group. Under the influence of the addition of a feed additive, the quality of sow milk improved. In particular, there was a tendency to increase certain amino acids (cystine, valine, isoleucine, arginine, lysine, and glutamic acid) and some macro- and microelements (magnesium, zinc, sodium, phosphorus, and slightly calcium). Adding the Globigen Jump Start feed additive to piglets' diet increased average daily gains by 18.52%, a decrease in diarrhea by 45.83%, and better feed conversion.
