Indicators of protein metabolism in cows under stressogenic conditions with the use of plant adaptogens

The article presents the results of the use of plant adaptogens in the stressful conditions of industrial housing of cows, showing their effect on the protein metabolism of metabolites. The experiment was carried out on the basis of JSC Potato Niva Orlovshchiny during the winter stall period. For the experiment, 4 groups of Holstein cows of the 2nd lactation were created. The cows of the 1st group served as a control and received the main diet of the farm. Group № 2 - received purple basil + lecithin in addition to the main diet. Group № 3 - received garden spinach + lecithin in addition to the main diet. Group № 4 - received purple basil + garden spinach + lecithin in addition to the main diet. As indicators of protein metabolism, total protein, albumin, globulins, bilirubin and urea were studied in blood serum. On the 30th day of the experiment, the content of total protein increased in the experimental groups: in the 2nd and 3rd - by 8.9%; in the 4th - by 20.7%, relative to the beginning of the experiment. The increase in albumin in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th groups was 1.17%; 6.5%; 20.5%, respectively, and globulins by 5.6%; 19.8%; 33%. The bilirubin content in all groups before the start of the experiment was higher than the reference values by an average of 33%. By the end of the experiment on the 30th day, in the groups receiving supplements, bilirubin decreased: in the 2nd - by 10.8%; in the 3rd - by 16.2%; in the 4th - by 22.8%, relative to the control. To normalize protein metabolism in cows under stressful conditions of the industrial complex, we recommend using daily (for 30 days) in addition to the main diet a composition including basil (50 g/head), spinach (250 g/head) and lecithin (50 g/head). g/head), as a dietary supplement with adaptogenic action.
