Effect of phytobiotic - Germivit on the functional state of cattle

Plant-based feed additives, also known as phytobiotics, show great promise to compensate deficiencies of important biologically active substances in the diet. Therefore, this study aimed evaluate effect Germivit on supplement cattle different ages. In first experiment, four groups 9-month-old Simmental calves (10 animals each group) were fed with at 0.0, 0.5, 0.7, and 0.9 g kg-1 live body weight, respectively. second three pregnant cows received 0.25, 0.50 The morphological composition collected blood was studied using a PCE-90vet automatic hematology analyzer. biochemical Stat Fax 1904 analyzer, immunological status evaluated generally accepted methods veterinary medicine: immunocompetent cells by spontaneous rosette formation; immunoglobulins radial immunodiffusion method; phagocytosis S. aureus culture; serum lysozyme activity photoelectrocolorimetric bactericidal determining degree growth inhibition mixture daily culture E. coli nutritive broth. contributed improvement parameters calves. cows, an increase observed, their immune improved, born high rates natural resistance health. had positive functional state cattle.
