In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was determined the influence of different rates of lithium addition into mixed fodders for sows feeding on hematological indexes and their reproductive qualities. In course of the study there was analyzed the dynamics of body weight of sows over the reproductive period; indexes of productivity of sows (number of born piglets; weight of 1 piglet; litter weight; weight of weanling piglets; number of weanling piglets; etc.); hematological indexes of sows; state of humoral factors of immunity of sows. Research results showed that in case of lithium application in diets of sows there was stated an improvement of hematological indexes and immunity functions and resistance. The optimal level of lithium in rations was 15 milligram per 1 kilogram of dry matter of a diet. This dose essentially promoted the increasing of reproductive performance, piglets weight and milking capacity of sows as well as better viability of piglets.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was showed the possibility of import substitution of methionine and threonine preparations used for growing poultry birds by a new national developed in Belarus fodder additive L-homoserine. The chemical composition of the new feed additive L-homoserine is the following: amino acid L-homoserine; metabolizable energy; crude protein; crude fat; vitamins (B1; B2; B3; betaine; B5; B6; Bc); macro and trace elements (calcium; phosphorous; natrium; manganese; zinc; iron; copper). In course of the study there was analyzed the dynamics of body weight of broiler chickens; expenses of fodders per live weight gain; dynamics of body weight of replacement growing birds; indexes of second pen-feathers; dimensions of combs). Research results showed that addition of L-homoserine for broiler chickens diets was safe and nontoxic; the preparation showed the same growth promoting indexes as the foreign methionine and threonine preparations.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was analyzed the efficiency of application of a probiotic lactic casein feed additive DKM which was developed in the Institute of Microbiology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. The analyzed additive contained specially selected lactic-acid bacteria with a high bioartificial potential of metabolites. In course of the experiment there was studied the consumption of fodders (milk; oats; mixed fodders) by experimental calves; dynamics of live weight gain in the beginning and at the end of the experiment; average daily weight gain. Also, there were analyzed the background indexes of blood serum of calves, as well as the indexes of blood serum of calves in a month after application of DKM additive. Research results showed that application of the feed additive DKM promoted better palatability and use of fodders and rendered positive influence on animal productivity. Also, there was marked the normalization of metabolism that was proved y the laboratory tests of blood serum.

In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there was determined the efficiency of application of different levels of vitamins and trace elements in feeding of servicing bulls. In course of the study there was analyzed the influence of different levels of supply of servicing bulls with vitamins A, D, E and trace elements (copper; zinc; manganese; iron; cobalt; selenium) on their reproductive ability. On the basis of the experiment there was calculated the economic efficiency of application of the developed vitamin and mineral additive. Research results showed that application of the developed protein and mineral additive in diets of servicing bulls in winter and summer periods made it possible to increase the ejaculate volume on 7,4% and 12,4% (P less than 0,05), sperm activity on 6,7 % (P less than 0,05) and 7,3% (P less than 0,01), concentration of spermium in ejaculate on 6,3% and 7,8% (P less than 0,05). Also, it promoted the lowering of percentage of defective sperm doses.
