Probiotic Clostat influence on the intestinal microflora in weaned pigs

The paper deals with the preparation and use of the feed mixture with the addition of the CloSTAT probiotic, the study of its effect on the composition of the intestinal microflora and the effectiveness of the prevention of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract in weaned piglets. The studies were carried out in the laboratory of chemical analysis of TOO Rubikom Mixed FodderPlant - Elevator (partnership) and the livestock complex (LC) TOO Rubikom (partnership) (p. Pavlodar, the Pavlodar Region of the Republic of Kazakhstan). ViaPig-30124 pre-starter feed (own production) was used to prepare the dry feed mix. Experimental studies on animals were carried out in the LCD TOO Rubikom (partnership) , the object of research-piglets of large white breed aged from 25 to 28 days in the amount of 40 heads. All individuals were divided into 2 groups: control and experimental. Clinically healthy piglets were used in the experiment. The conditions of keeping the experimental animals in the groups were the same. Piglets were kept in separate pens of 10 heads up to 60 days of age. The feeding conditions and diets of the piglets corresponded to the standard feeding standards. The pre-starter feed ViaPig-30124 was used as the main diet for piglets at the complex. Pigs of the experimental group were fed with a feed mixture of ViaPig-30124 prestarter feed and CloSTAT probiotic. Microbiological studies of the feces of piglets in the study groups, as well as piglets who fell ill during the experiment were conducted. Studies of the intestinal microflora of piglets were carried out on the 7th, 15th and 30th day after the start of the experiment. The intestines of piglets contained lacto- and bifidobacteria, opportunistic bacteria: Escherichia coli, staphylococci and streptococci. A decrease in the content of opportunistic microflora and a dynamic increase in the obligate microflora indicate a positive effect of probiotics on the formation of intestinal microbiocenosis in the post-milk period. The most noticeable changes were revealed in the study of the faeces of piglets in the experimental group, which were fed with the CloSTAT probiotic. The conducted studies indicate the effectiveness of the use of the CloSTAT probiotic in pig breeding, which has an impact on the formation of intestinal biocenosis, which, in turn, helps to prevent the development of dysbiotic processes in piglets in the post-weaning period.
