The influence of phytogenic preparations on the safety, growth, fattening, meat quality and resistance indicators of pigs

Relevance. Phytogenic preparations added to feed neutralize such phenomena as a decrease in the immune status of animals, provide an increase in all types of productivity by improving the consumption, digestibility and assimilation of feed. Methods. In the closed joint-stock company “Russian pork” of the Kamensky district of the Rostov region, 3 groups of 30 heads of suckling pigs were formed. The first group received the phytopreparation Active Select, developed specifically for pigs. The second group received the versatile phytopreparation Active. The third group served as a control and did not receive phytopreparations. Results. The advantage of animals receiving Active Select over their peers of the second and control groups in terms of safety, growth, fattening, meat qualities and resistance indicators was revealed. It was proposed to give preference to the specialized preparations Active Select over the universal preparation Active. The methods and dosages of its administration have been specified depending on the age of the pigs.
