Activated mineral zeolite-containing feed additive "ZEOL" in the diets of lactating cows

The results of scientific and economic experience showed that feeding activated zeolite "ZEOL" to lactating cows in the amount of 0.5 g per 1 kg of live weight contributed to an increase in average daily milk yield by an average of or 2.20 %, the mass fraction of fat in milk - by 0.08 abs. %, protein by 0.05 abs.%. The use of activated zeolite in the feeding of dairy cows does not adversely affect metabolic processes and guarantees a high productivity potential. The economic effect, on average, for the analyzed farms amounted to 11.82 rubles per cow per day, per 1 rub. additional costs - 9.85 rubles. Mineral zeolite-containing feed additive "ZEOL" is recommended to be introduced into the composition of the concentrated part of the diet immediately before feeding. The recommended dose of the feed additive is 3-4 % of the grain feed or compound feed.
