Abstract
The object of the study was to study the feeding of an enzyme-probiotic complex of strains Enterococcus faecium and Bacillus megaterium (PC) to ruminants, as one of the ways of conducting organic animal husbandry. In the conducted physiological experiment on fistulated sheep (n = 3), an increase in feed consumption, an increase in the digestibility of nutrients under the influence of PC, set at 7 g/head/day, was established. According to the indicators of cicatricial metabolism, significant positive changes were revealed in the increase in microbial mass, the formation of VFA both before and after feeding, and amylolytic activity. In microbiological studies of feces, higher levels of lactobacilli, bifidobacteria were established with a significant decrease in pathogenic molds, enterococci. According to the indicators of metabolic processes, significantly higher levels of albumin, glucose were established, with a lower level of urea, as well as an increase in the levels of alkaline phosphatase, creatinine, triglycerides, phospholipids, cholesterol, bilirubin, with a decrease in AST activity in the blood serum of animals from the experimental group. In the hematological parameters of the blood, a significantly lower level of leukocytes, hematocrit, with a higher level of erythrocytes was revealed. The data obtained on the improvement of the digestive and metabolic processes in the body of ruminants, as the basis for the growth of productivity, give grounds for the widespread use of PC in modern livestock husbandry systems.
