The effectiveness of the use of humic substances in feeding lactating mares of the Bashkir breed

The paper presents the materials of experimental studies of the effectiveness of the use of humic substances in feeding lactating mares at the koumiss farm of SNIPE LLC (Kashin, Tver region). The effect of humic substances on the productivity, weight dynamics and health of mares was studied for the first time. It has been established that the feed additive does not have a negative effect on the physiological condition of mares and the quality of dairy products. The positive effect of the Reasil® Humic Health feed additive affected the average daily milk yield. During 7 months of lactation in the 3rd experimental group, where Reasil® Humic Health was used at a dose of 40 g /head. The indicator was higher per day (1564.9±17.8 liters) than in the control group (1399.3±21.8 liters). Studies have shown that to increase the volume of milk productivity of lactating mares, the optimal dose of Reasil® Humic Health feed additive is 40 g/head per day.
