THE EFFECT OFTHE FEED ADDITIVE "BARASHEK" ON HEMATOLOGICAL INDICATORS AND NATURAL RESISTANCE OF SHEEP YOUNGSTOCK

As a result of scientific research, the effect of the feed additive "Barashek" on hematological parameters and natural resistance of the organism of young sheep was established. The use of the feed additive "Barashek" in their diet in the amount of 2.0% of the dry matter of the diet allows to increase the number of erythrocytes in the blood by – 9.8% (P < 0.05), the hemoglobin content by – 2.3% and hematocrit – by 2.2 (P < 0.05) percentage points, the content of total protein – by 7.9% (P < 0.001) and glucose – by 7.2%. The bactericidal activity of blood serum increased by – 3.7 percentage points and the lysozyme activity of blood serum by – by 1.6 (P < 0.01) percentage points.
