Effect of serum-mineral-vitamin Supplement on digestibility and morpho-biochemical parameters of blood in young pigs

Abstract

The organized research on feeding young pigs with different doses of whey-mineral-vitamin additives resulted in the following: 2,5% of whey-mineral-vitamin additives contributed 15,4% to the increase in average daily growth, while 3,0% of this feed additive gave more than 20,8% of the average daily growth in comparison with the test result. Studying nutrient digestibility on the basis of scientific and business experience it should be stressed that the increased dose of feed additive in the 3rd tested group resulted in 3,22% growth of organic matter digestibility, 2,7% growth of crude protein digestibility, 1,9% growth of crude fiber digestibility and there are 1,8% more nitrogen-free extractives than in the control result. Morpho-biochemical indicators of young pigs’ blood were within the physiological norm while using whey-mineral-vitamin additives. The increase of whey-mineral-vitamin additives amount in feed mixture positively influenced the growth of red blood cells, hemoglobin and total protein in blood of the 3rd tested group, 6,9% increase compared with the control result to be exact. The 2nd tested group which was fed with 2,5% of whey-mineral-vitamin additives showed better results than control ones, but less in comparison with the results of the 3rd tested group.
