The role ofcarbohydrate-vitamin-mineral concentrate in feeding goats

Abstract

The main goals of the development of goat breeding are to obtain skins, milk, down, etc. which are engaged in agricultural organizations, peasant (farmer) and personal farms. To achieve these goals, it is necessary to increase the breeding population of goats. Due to the special structure of the digestive system, goats are able to digest food with a high content of fiber. The diet of goats is very diverse, but to ensure and support vital functions of the body, goats need a balanced diet that includes proteins, vitamins and minerals. In this connection, in our studies, we studied the effect of carbohydrate-vitamin-mineral concentrate on the body of adult goats, their behavior, the amount of drug consumption, studied the composition of alfalfa hay and the biochemical composition of the blood. Based on the results obtained, it was found that the goats of the experimental and control groups consumed food and water equally, and no distinctive features were found in the behavioral reactions. The daily consumption of UVMC by goats in the experimental group was 33.3±2.1 g per day per head. According to the results of the study of haylage, it belongs to the second class, which proves the usefulness and meets the needs of the body. The results of the biochemical composition of the blood showed that there was an increase in glucose and alkaline reserve by 19.5 and 21.3%, respectively. The content of calcium and phosphorus in the blood serum at the beginning of the study in both groups was at the lower limits of the physiological norm, but by the end of the experiment increased by 13.6 and 15.0%, respectively. The results obtained confirm that the use of VMC in experimental groups of animals normalizes metabolic processes, as a result of which it will prevent metabolic disorders in the animal body.
