Reproductive capacity and carbohydrate-lipid metabolism in sows at tetravit, ASD-2F, hemobalance and their various combinations applicationat final stage of pregnancy

The purpose of the researches was the increase of reproductive function of the sows in the condi- tions of pig breeding farm of industrial type. For the achievement of the purpose the following tasks were set: to define the influence of tetravit, ASD-2F, hemobalance, and also their various combinations on reproductive function; to study and compare the impact of the preparations on carbohydrate and fat metabolism in sows’ organisms. The researches were conducted in Belgorod Region on the sows of breed Large white Landras. Average age of the sows made 2.5 years, and average live mass of one head was 250 kg. All sows were clinically healthy. The effect of biologically active compo- nents of tetravit, hemobalance, and ASD-2F on reproductive capacity and carbohydrate-lipid me- tabolism of sows in different physiological states was studied during the experiment. Application of tetravit, ASD-2F, hemobalance and their various combinations promoted reliable reduction of the duration of pregnancy for 1...
