Object of research: physiological and biochemical processes in the organism of young rabbits and rabbit female under the action of silicon citrate got by nanotechnology and sodium metasilicate.
The purpose of the work: to find out the influence of silicon citrate got by nanotechnology, as well as sodium metasilicate on the course of metabolic processes in the organism of rabbits during periods of intensive growth, development, sucricility and lactation.
Research methods: hematological (number of erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets and their indices), biochemical (aminotransferase activity, indicators of protein, lipid and mineral metabolism), immunophysiological (phagocytic and bactericidal activity of blood serum, total immunoglobulins, glycoprotein components, medium weight molecules, circulating immune complexes), clinical (temperature, pulse, respiration), ontogenetic (growth and development of the organism, mass and mass indices of internal organs, milk yield of rabbits female, preservation of the offspring) and statistical.
Scientific novelty: For the first time new scientific data on the peculiarities of the course of physiological and biochemical processes in the organism of rabbits of hybrid breed Hyla after weaning and the function of the reproductive system of rabbits female under the influence of silicon citrate got by nanotechnology and sodium metasilicate. Positive changes of hematological, biochemical, immunophysiological and productive indicators of rabbit organism are found under the action of silicon citrate in the amount of 50 and 75 μg Si and sodium metasilicate at the rate of 2.5 mg Si. It was received the new data on the activating influence of the used amounts of silicon citrate on the growth and development of rabbits organism with higher coefficients of liver and skin mass and their lower values using 25 μg Si and sodium metasilicate on the 58th day of the research.
For the first time are proved organ-tissue features of dose-dependent influence of silicon compounds on the content of mineral elements Si, Co, Zn, Fe, Cu, Mg, Mn in the blood and tissues of the liver, the longest muscle of the back, the tubular bone, the skin and the wool, which was more defined by the action of silicon citrate in the amount of 50 μg Si/kg of body weight.
The corrective influence of physiologically reasonable amounts of silicon citrate and sodium metasilicate on cellular and humoral factors of nonspecific resistance of an organism, reproductive function, milk production of rabbits female and growth, development and safety of young rabbits up to 40 days of age was found. According to the results of the research, a patent of Ukraine for a utility model № 142734 "A way to increase productivity, correcting metabolism and improving the quality of rabbit products" was received.
Suggested: for correction of mineral nutrition of young rabbits of meat direction of productivity and breed hybrids during weaning, fattening, technological stress and rabbits female during sucricility, lactation and their combination in modern industrial and farming rabbit breeding it is recommended to use silicon citrate in the amount of 50 μg Si/kg of body weight.
Implemented: Scientific developments have been implemented in the private rabbit farm "Gorlytsia" in the village of Dobryany, Horodok district, Lviv region
To increase the growth of the organism, resistance and preservation of young rabbits of breed hybrids after weaning, it is recommended to additionally water with silicon citrate in the amount of 50 μg Si/kg body weight. To improve the reproductive capacity of rabbits, as well as increasing the resistance of rabbits up to 40 days of age, it is recommended to feed rabbits 15 days before insemination, during sucricility and up to 20 days of lactation, silicon citrate at the rate of 50 μg Si/kg of body weight.
The results of the influence of physiologically reasonable amounts of silicon citrate on physiological and biochemical, immunophysiological, productive indicators of an organism of rabbits after weaning and rabbits female in the period of physiological load give a reason to justify the use of this compound to increase the productivity of prolific animals and the resistance of young animals, as well as for use in veterinary medicine.
