In these studies, it was found that seasons have a significant impact on the reproductive function of Large White boars. It was found that these indicators were the highest in winter, and the lowest in summer. Studies have also shown that the inclusion in the diet of Large White boars of the feed additive “HydroLaktiV” in a dosage of 1.0, 1.5, 2.0% over the main diet allowed to increase both quantitative and qualitative indicators of sperm. An increase in the quantitative and qualitative sperm indicators of the studied boars in turn led to an increase in the number of piglets in these groups by 7.4, 11.6, 11.4%, respectively; a decrease in their cost at birth by 7.0, 10.4, and 10.3% compared to the control group.
