The effect of the use of vitamin and mineral feed additive "Active mix" VM 10/20 on the biochemical and hematological parameters of calves

The effect of the use of the liquid vitamin and mineral feed additive «Active Mix» VM 10/20 on the general condition, biochemical and hematological parameters of calves that were deficient in vitamins and trace elements was investigated. When creating this feed additive, some new approaches were used aimed at increasing the digestibility of trace elements and vitamins. Calves (1 month old) from the experimental group received this feed additive for 28 days. At the same time, biochemical and hematological parameters were determined during the study. There was a significant increase in hemoglobin content, hematocrit values, as well as an increase in total blood protein in animals of the experimental group (receiving a feed additive) compared with calves from the control group. In the calves of the experimental group, the general condition improved and the clinical manifestations of vitamin and trace element deficiency disappeared.
