Slaughter qualities of experimental pigs using the feed additive Fitolim

The aim of research is to study the possibility of introducing Schisandra chinensis into pig diets. Research was conducted in the Primorsky Region at OOO Agrofond-P on Large White pigs. A scientific and economic experiment was conducted on introducing a plant-based feed additive made from Schisandra chinensis (Fitolim) into pig diets. It was found that the feed additive Fitolim has a positive effect on pig growth, meat productivity and the morphological composition of the carcasses of experimental animals, and also makes it possible to increase the profitability of pig farming. Thus, when using the feed additive, the absolute gain increased by 11.96 kg, and the slaughter yield increased by 4.5 %. Adding Schisandra chinensis to the diet as a feed additive increased profit by 2 845.5 rubles per 10 heads and the profitability level by 12.4 %.
