Relevance and methods. The article assesses the effectiveness of the use of herbal feed additives "Zigbir" (which is positioned as a plant hepatoprotector) on the cows diets in the second half of lactation, how it influence on the digestibility of dietary nutrients, on hfhematological composition of blood serum, on productivity and quality of milk. Results. As a result of research experiment, it was found that the introduction of herbal feed additives into the diet had a positive effect on the digestibility coefficients. So, the concentration of total protein at the end of the period, in the experimental group increased by 5.34 g/l and came into compliance with the physiological norm, the digestibility of organic matter, of crude fat and of nitrogen-free extractives in the experimental group increased by 2.2%, 1.6% and 1.0%, respectively. Although the decrease in the digestibility coefficient of crude fiber by the end of the period occurred in both groups, however, the dynamics of its value in the experimental group was on 3.5% less than the value in the control. The use of the feed additives "Zigbir" in the diet made it possible to bring the indicator of urea concentration closer to the physiological norm, the blood glucose increased by 46.4% and came into line with the norm. The dynamic change of bilirubin in the test groups blood was not as significant as in the control group, the total bilirubin decreased by only 15%, against 36% in animals in the control group. The decrease in milk yield due to the attenuation of lactation in the test group was slower relative to the control group and was lower by 0,6l, the mass of fat share and of protein in the cows milk from the test group was higher by 0.4% and 0.2%, respectively.
