USE OF PHYTOGENIC FEED ADDITIVES IN CATTLE FEEDING IN KUZBASS

The article presents the results of testing a phytogenic feed additive in feeding young Black-and-White cattle in the Kemerovo region - Kuzbass. In accordance with the test program, the animals being raised were divided into three groups (control and two experimental). Formation of three groups based on the principle of analogues. The studies were organized according to generally accepted research methods in zootechny. According to the experimental conditions, animals in the control group received only a basic ration, while their peers from the two experimental groups received phytogenic feed additives in different doses along with the basic ration. Data analysis showed that animals receiving phytogenic additives were heavier than their peers in the control group in all periods of growth. On average, animals in the control group were inferior to their peers from the two experimental groups by 3.81 and 4.81%, respectively. Thus, the effectiveness of using a phytogenic feed additive in raising young cattle in the conditions of Kuzbass has been established.
