Effect of the feed additive ProVetin on the development of foals

Abstract

The article presents the results of the effect of the feed additive Protein containing bacteria strains Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces the dynamics of growth and cerevisiae, Trichoderma development of foals. As a result of the conducted studies, it was found that the feed additive has a positive effect on the body of foals whose mothers received ProVetin during foaling. The weight of foals of the experimental group at birth was 6.7% higher compared to the control group. Further introduction of a feed additive into the diet of foals in the postnatal period also had a beneficial effect, which contributed to higher growth rates – at the age of 3 months, the live weight of the experimental group of foals receiving daily feed additive was 6.3% greater than in the control group; at 6 months – 6.5% more.
