Bidyak I. Minovit feeding effect upon productivity, metabolism, meat quality and status of internal organs of swine

The thesis is devoted to studying productivity, meat quality and the status of organs of digestive and endocrine systems of swine in various age groups, while feeding minovit - a new biologically active supplement. As it was established, minovit feeding at doses 2-8 g per 100 kg of living mass rises average daily increases of suckling and early weaned pigs, young swine on growing and feeding, increases the slaughter and carcass weights, as well as it does not have essential influence upon the change of physical and chemical indices of meat quality, reduces the process of depot fat in carcasses. The minovit use stimulates the development of separate structures of stomach, small and large intestine of swine; it does not indeed influence upon the cariometrical indices of liver parenchyma, pancreas and thyroid glands as well as some dynamic centres of grey and cerebral matters of adrenal glands. Our experiments have shown that it is reasonable to use minovit for swine feeding of various age groups in amount of 4 g per 100 kg of living mass. Key words: minovit, swine, productivity, meat quality, internal organs, digestibility, blood, efficiency.
