Abstract

The inclusion of a complex feed additive (CFD) in the diet of dairy cows in general had a positive effect on the metabolism and showed the characteristic actions of the energizer, antioxidant and Spirulina Platensis, which was expressed in an increase in the content of albumin, urea, glucose, cholesterol, ceruloplasmin in the blood serum, in the normalization of the calcium-phosphorus ratio and in an increase in the functional activity of the liver. Morpho-hematological indicators also improved. An increase in the energy and biological value of the diet during the transit period allowed to obtain from cows an average of 1658 kg of milk for 2 months of lactation with an average daily milk yield of 27.7 kg versus 1515 and 25.2 kg in the control group with a milk content of fat 3.76 and protein 3.19, including casein 2.46% versus 3.82, 3.17 and 2.43%, respectively, in the milk of cows in the control group. CFD caused a decrease in the oxidation of milk, improved its reducing potential and increased sanitary and hygienic indicators.
