FEATURES OF GROWTH AND INTERIOR INDICATORS IN THE EARLY POSTNATAL PERIOD WHEN USING “TRIVIT”
The calves from the cows, which are kept in the conditions of year-round stable housing, need to be corrected and maintained at an appropriate level of metabolic processes that ensure the normal functioning of all body systems. Deficiency in any vitamin leads to stunted growth and development of young animals, decrease of resistance, deterioration of bone growth, and poor development of the internal organs. The aim of the research was to study the growth indicators, morphological and biochemical parameters of the blood of Black-pied calves when using Trivit. The studies were carried out on the calves of the Black-pied breed from cows with year-round stable keeping in the conditions of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise Stud Farm "Komsomolskoye" of the Pavlovsky district of the Altai Territory. Two groups of three-month-old heifers 10 animals each were formed for the experiment with an average live weight of 102.3 kg. One group was a control one and the 2nd group was experimental. The heifers of the experimental group at 3 and 6 months of age were administered Trivit intramuscularly at a dose of 2 mL once a day for 10 days. It was found that administration of Trivit contributed to the normalization of the clinical status of heifers, improved absorption and increased blood calcium level, indicators of total protein, albumins, globulins, glucose, alkaline reserve, improved hematopoiesis processes and growth of animals.
