Field efficacy of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli-specific phage (ΦCJ19) as a feed additive was evaluated in weaning piglets. Fifty-four piglets at 3~4 weeks old were allocated in three different groups and two of them were fed with bacteriophage at different concentrations (106 PFU/kg feed and 108 PFU/kg feed, respectively) for 30 days. Body weight and feed intake were measured at 10 days interval and body condition and fecal score were inspected every day. Based on the measurement, feed conversion rate (FCR) and average daily gain (ADG) of each group during 30 days were analyzed. The analysis suggests that the bacteriophage may help the improvement of FCR and ADG at 108 PFU/kg of bacteriophage feeding group in 30 days. A result from analysis of fecal score indicates that the bacteriophage also may help to relieve the intermittent diarrhea in post-weaning stage. Those results suggest that bacteriophage might help the growth of piglets in post-weaning stage.

This study was attempted to verify the mechanisms of RBC survival time shortened with vitamin E deficient and decrement of phospholipid concentrations by administration of iron. The concentration of iron in basal ration (group A and group B) was 40 mg/kg of feed, and the final concentrations of iron in the Fe (OH)3 supplemented-rations (group C and group D) were 13,496 mg/kg and 26,973 mg/kg, respectively

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was studied the preventive efficiency of various forms of a complex additive Felutsen against polymicroelementoses of calf-bearing dry cows and its influence on some of biochemical blood indexes. Research results proved high prophylactic efficacy of various forms of the additive Felutsen against polyhypomicroelementoses of calf-bearing dry cows. Restoration of a microelement homeostasis of cows made it possible to normalize the functional activity of liver, to prevent development renal insufficiency and dystrophic changes in bone tissue. The most expressed metabolic changes in blood of calf-bearing dry cows were stated after application of the carbohydrate-mineral additive Felutsen-briquette universal. There was given the analysis of structure of studied forms of complex additive Felutsen; indexes of trace element metabolism in cows; indexes of protein metabolism and level of nonprotein nitrogen; indexes of blood characterizing the functional condition of liver and carbohydrate metabolism of cows; indexes of trace element metabolism in cows after the termination of application of the additive.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was studied the antihelmintic characteristics of the preparative forms of marsh cinquefoil (Comarum palustre): herbal infusion, infusion, liquid, extract, pulvis. The research has shown that these preparative forms in the specified dozes had a rather high therapeutic efficiency against strongylatosis of gastro-intestinal tract of young ruminants. The highest therapeutic effect was rendered by a liquid extract of Comarum palustre after its administration to animals in a dose of 0,2 ml/kg twice with 24 hour interval. In this case during the strongylatoses of a gastroenteric tract the antiparasitic intensefficiency of sheep and cattle by the end of experience was 98,1% and 97,3% respectively, and antiparasitic extensefficiency was 90% for both kinds of animals. After herbal infusion application of Comarum palustre for animals (in a dose of 7 ml/kg of live weight before feeding once a day within 3 days continuously) by the end of the 14 day of the experiment made it possible to obtain intensefficiency of 70% for both animal species, and extensefficiency of 60% for sheep and 70% - at calves. Tincture application of marsh cinquefoil for animals in a dose of 1 ml/kg of live weight of twice with 24 hours interval, provided the intensefficiency of 85% for sheep and 84% - for cattle, and extensefficiency of 70% and 80%, respectively. In the conditions of application of a pulvis of marsh cinquefoil in a dose of 500 mg/kg of live weight twice with 24 hours interval, made it possible to obtain the 63,4% intensefficiency for sheep and 67,8% - for calves, and extensive efficiency - 50% and 40%, respectively.

Scientific and production examination of feed additive Semerik-Vita containing iodine and selenium was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus by studying of its influence on production and economic indexes of laying hens and their products, as well as by studying of its influence on clinical state and biochemical blood indexes of poultry. Research results showed that application of feed additive Semerik-Vita made it possible to increase of egg producing ability intensity on 1,8 %, egg yield - on 2,4 % in the conditions of lowering of feeding expenses on 1,4 %. Application of the analyzed feed additive made it possible to obtain a new kind of eggs fortified with iodine, selenium, beta-carotene and vitamins (A, E, C, PP, B1, B2, pantothenic acid and folic acid). In eggs of poultry of experimental group the content of selenium increased in 2,1 times, iodone - in 1,5 times, vitamin E – in 3,9 times, beta-carotene – in 1,4 times, vitamin A – in 1,3 times, pantothenic acid – in 1,2 times, vitamin C – in 1,17 times, vitamin PP – in 1,4 times, vitamin B1 – in 1,5 times, vitamin V2 – in 1,4 times, folic acid - in 1,5 times in comparison with eggs of laying hens from the control group. Research results proved that application of Semerik-Vita did not render negative effect on the clinical indexes of laying hens. It made it possible to lower the content of urea acid in 1,7 times, as well as to increase the content of triglycerides in 2 times, cholesterol - in 2,4 times, magnesium - in 1,28 times

Analysis of the optimal scheme of doses and rates of combined administration of probiotic Dialakt and immunostimulant Alveozan was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus by the example of 1500 broiler chickens of cross Kobb- 500. Chickens of the first (controlled) group were given only total ration, balanced with the main nutrients. For the chickens of the second group were administrated with immunostimulant Alveozan with water starting from one day old age, every day in dose of 10 mkg/kg of body weight once a day in course of 5 days successively and with 7 days interval till the end of growing period; and probiotic Dialakt was administrated with water in dose of 0,1-0,2 ml/head (10,0-20,0 mln microbial bodies) starting from one day old age, once a day in course of 5 days successively and with 6 and 14 days intervals till the end of growing period. Chickens of the third group were administrated Alveozan in dose of 10 mkg/kg of body weight with drinking water once a day in course of 5 days with 10 days interval till the end of growing period; and Dialakt in dose of 0,1-0,2 ml/head with drinking water starting from one day old age, every day in course of 5 days with 6 and 14 days interval till the end of growing period. The research results showed the following optimal regime of complex application of the analyzed preparations: immunostimulant Dialakt - in dose of 0,1-0,2 ml/head with drinking water starting from one day old age, once a day in course of 3 days successively with 6 and 14 days intervals till the end of growing period; and immunostimulant Alveozan - in doze of 10 mkg/kg of body weight with drinking water once a day in course of 5 days with 10 days interval till the end of growing period. Complex application of Dialakt and Alveozan promoted the increasing of organometric indexes, specific volume and size of thymus in 1,5-1,8 times (P less than 0,01), Fabritsiya bursa - in 2 times (P less than 0,01) and lien - on 11,1% (P less than 0,05)

Scientific experiments on determination of the optimal doses kizelgur for import substitution of shells in poultry diets was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarusby an example of 4 groups of laying hens of Khajseks korichnevyj cross. Hens of the first (controlled) group were given full ration applied at the tested poultry farm which included 5% of shells. Hens of the other three experimental groups were given complete feedstuffs with inclusion of mineral feed kizelgur: hens of the second group – in dose 2% out of dry matter mass; third group - 3%; for the fourth group - 4%. The research results showed that application of mineral feed additive kizelgur increased hen productivity in experimental groups on 2,8%; 5,9%; 7,2%, respectively. In the experimental groups there was an increasing of egg yields on 2,8%; 5,9%; 7,2%, respectively. The best indexes of poultry livability were stated in the third group (on 5,5% higher than in control). The similar tendency was stated in course of analysis of egg weight, shell thickness and calcium content of shell. Kizelgur application led to increasing of egg mass in tested groups: on 0,46% (2 group), 1,6% (3 group) and 2,4 % (4 group). At the age of 340 days shell thickness in experimental groups was on higher 3,3% (2 group), 0,7% (3 group) and 8,7 % (4 group) than in control. The analyzed additive increased the natural resistance of hens that was proved by indexes of bacterial growth-inhibitory activity of blood serum and lysozyme activity. There noted tendency of total protein increasing. Studying of immunological indexes showed that they were the most evident in the fourth experimental group

A technology of application autolysis of fodder yeasts (AFY) for the production of products with higher protein content, digestible aminoacids and other nutritive and biologically active substances in comparison with the standard fodder yeasts (provit) was tested in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus by an example of three groups of swine. Animals of the first (control) group were fed with combined feed SK-26 with addition of 2% of provit. Animals of the second group were fed with combined feed SR-26with addition of 2% of AFY, the third group - with addition 4% of AFY. Provit and AFY were included into combined feed instead of excluded protein components in equivalent number. Research results showed that autolysis of fodder yeasts did not render negative influence on productivity of fattening stores. Average daily weight gain of stores was 637-674 g. Calculation of economic efficiency of combined feeding application of 2 and 4% of AFY showed that application of 2% AFY was more economically profitable

Determination of the positive aspects of application of a feed additive on the basis of sodium humate and malt sprouts fortified with oaky extract in diets of high-productive cows in dry period was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. Cows of black-and-white breed with average body weight 600 kg and milk-yield 6000-7000 kg were used in the experiment. Cows of experimental groups in addition to their main diet were fed with the resolved additive in doses 10-20 ml/100kg of live weight. Formula of humic additive with draft name Ehkolin-3 was developed on the basis of Ehkolin additive. Ehkolin additive in its composition contained the following compounds: organic substances; mineral substances; humic substances; melanoids; reducing agents; phenolic compounds; organic acids, and total nitrogen. Research results showed that application of the analyzed additive promoted the increasing enzyme activity in blood serum. Body weight of new born calves in experimental groups was higher than in control group. Symptoms of diseases of the digestive tract disappeared in 4-5 days in the experimental calves. Cows of the experimental groups had good colostral milk with density 1056 kg/mE3 and 55% of immunoglobulins. Impregnation capacity of in one experimental group was 50% after the first insemination, and only 33,3% and 20% in the control and the second experimental group, respectively
