Abstract
The article presents the results of studies on the effect of a coniferous energy supplement based on forest biomass on the antioxidant protection indicators of dairy cows during the transition period. In the period after calving, cows often experience energy deficiency, which forces the body to use fat reserves. This process is accompanied by an increase in the level of lipid peroxides and reactive oxygen species, as well as a decrease in the amount of antioxidants. This results in oxidative stress. Inclusion of a coniferous energy supplement in the diet of cows has a beneficial effect on the antioxidant system of their body. This is manifested in an increase in the concentration of water-soluble antioxidants, ceruloplasmin and albumin in the blood serum, as well as an increase in the activity of glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase. Along with this, a decrease in the activity of liver enzymes (ALT and AST) and urea content is observed. Feeding cows with a coniferous energy supplement (CES) improves the health of animals by increasing their antioxidant protection and normalizing protein metabolism. This is especially important during the transition period, when cows are subject to oxidative stress.
