Abstract
When preparing haylage, the efficiency and quality of the fermentation process are of paramount importance, and here organic preservative starter cultures, in particular, the starter culture “Kazbiosil” made in Industrial Microbiology LLP, Republic of Kazakhstan, Almaty, can provide invaluable benefits. In the scientific and economic experience, the effect of feeding a haylage of alfalfa grass with the addition of 3 g/t of bacterial starter culture “Kazbiosil” in comparison with haylage harvested using traditional technology without preservative on milk productivity and the biochemical composition of the blood of lactating cows was studied. The experimental animals from the control group were fed a haylage of alfalfa grass as part of the diet, while the animals of the experimental group were fed a haylage with the introduction of a biological starter. At the end of the scientific and economic experiment, the animals of the experimental group outperformed the lactating cows of the control variant by the average daily milk yield of natural and 4% milk, respectively, by 20.7; 20.9 kg or 1.4; 1.8 kg (P < 0.05). The results of biochemical studies of the blood serum of lactating cows that received various haylage options from alfalfa grass were within the physiological norm.
