The use of probiotics vetom 1 and vetom 1.2. in the early postnatal period in calves

One of the key areas ensuring the country’s food security is the production of a sufficient number of livestock products. Modern requirements for the production of livestock products are pushing manufacturers to exclude antibacterial drugs from the technology of bearing calves, replacing them with probiotic drugs. Therefore, the search and testing of new highly effective probiotic drugs is relevant. The purpose of the research is to study the effect of probiotics Vetom 1 and Vetom 1.2 on the clinical and biochemical status and weight of calves in the early postnatal period. The studies were conducted on analog calves, a black-and-white breed in the spring period. Two groups of experimental calves and one group of control calves were formed. The study was conducted from birth to 2 months of age. The first experimental group of calves received a diet of Vet 1. The second experimental group was Vet 1.2. During the study, it was found that the use of probiotics Vet 1 and Vet 1.2 significantly reduces the likelihood of dyspepsia in the early postnatal period in calves, and also positively affects their clinical and biochemical status. At the same time, Vetom 1.2 is the most effective. The use of probiotics Vetom 1. and Vetom 1.2. helps to increase body weight and average daily weight gain in calves. The body weight of groups of calves 2 months after birth can be represented as a group with a weight of 1.2. (77.80 ±3.40 kg)> group with Vet 1 (76.50±3.7 kg)> who did not receive probiotics (71.60 ±3.17 kg). The largest gain was observed a month after birth in the group receiving Vet 1.2. it was 1.6 times higher than the control and 1.4 times higher than in calves receiving Vet 1. The weight gain of calves with Vet 1 in comparison with the control was 15.5% higher. The body weight of calves receiving probiotics 2 months after birth can be represented as follows: Vet 1.2. (77.80 ±3.40 kg), Vet 1 (76.50±3.7 kg), who did not receive probiotics (71.60 ±3.17 kg).
