“KORETRON” MINERAL FEED ADDITIVE IN DIETS FOR YOUNG PIGS ON FATTENING
06.00.00 Agricultural sciences
Description
The present article is concerning with the research of influence of new mineral additive «Koretron» in diets for young pigs on meat performance. The mineral additive «Koretron» adsorbs and removes mycotoxins from the body and is the source of water-soluble silicon, which is necessary for stable functioning of intestine and stomach smooth muscles and for improving of calcium digestibility. It is proved, that the considered feed additive has positive effect for animal growth intensity because it has contributed to increasing of both total and relative weight gain of young pigs on fattening. It is determined, that the mineral additive «Koretron» has positive influence on meat productivity of animals from the test group: killing-out percent, hot carcass weight, rib-eye area as well as weight and meat yield, fleshing index have been increased. The considered mineral additive has contributed to improving of chemical composition of meat: the content of dry matter both in the average meat sample and in the longissimus dorsi, content of nutrients synthesized in carcass meat, energy value of carcass meat, biological value of meat have been increased. The data received during our test give evidence of high bioavailability of water soluble silicon in tested additive, which has activated metabolic processes in the bodies of young pigs on fattening and, as a consequence, the gain of their live weight has been increased and morphological structure of carcasses and meat quality have been improved
