Mineral substances play an essential role in maintaining health and normal body function. Preparations containing mineral components are widely used as additional sources of these necessary substances. They can be prescribed to replenish mineral deficiencies and support the health of bones, the heart, the nervous system, and others. When choosing drugs, it is necessary to consider the individual needs of the body, possible side effects, and possible interactions with other drugs. In general, mineral preparations can help provide the body with the necessary minerals, but their use should be balanced and carried out under the supervision of a specialist. The study of the influence of different doses of the trace element preparation "Entero-active" on the morphological characteristics of the stomach's cardiac, fundal, and pyloric zones in young pigs during their rearing. As a result, the regularities of the effect of this drug on the indicated areas of the stomach were identified and described. The obtained information indicates a probable increase in the thickness of the stomach walls under the influence of mineral substances due to an increase in the serous-muscular and mucous membranes in all the studied zones. The changes revealed during the study are not pathological and indicate an adaptive response of the stomach to the influence of specific doses of a new constituent feed factor. Further research will be aimed at developing a mechanism for reducing the effect of the drug's components on the stomach, which will reduce the load on the body's adaptive systems.
