SOME FEATURES OF THE EFFECT OF THE TTK (G) FEED SUPPLEMENT ON PRE-WEANING CALF GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

As an important branch of farming industry, dairy farm-ing always needs innovative ideas for its development. One of the areas of innovation is feed production which allows developing new feeding methods and types of feed sup-plements to increase the efficiency of livestock production and reduce its costs. The research goal was to investigate the effect of the TTK (G) feed supplementon the morpho-logical indices of pre-weaning calves. The studies were carried out on the training farm AO “Uchkhoz Prigo-rodnoye” of the Altai State Agricultural University; Black-Pied calves of the Priobskiy type were studied. Three groups of eight newborn calves were formed -1 control group and 2 trial groups. The experiment lasted was 50 days from the age of ten days. According to the experi-mental design, the animals received the basic diet; the second group -the basic diet supplemented with TTK (G) (1 kg t); the third group -the basic diet supplemented with TTK (G) (2 kg t). The calves were kept ingroups. The mi-croclimate met the requirements. The following was found: 1) supplementing the diets of pre-weaning calves with the TTK (G) feed supplement led to live weight gains (2nd trial group -by 7.9%; 3rd trial group -by 12.5%); average daily growth gain (14.3% and 25.7%) and some body measure-ment gains -by 2.4-17.1% and 3.8-20.1%; 2) the use of TTK (G) feed supplement contributed to immune system reinforcement and increase the blood corpuscle count; 3) the use of the TTK (G) feed supplement increased the profits by 1626.7 rubles per 1 head at a dose of 1 kg t.
