PROBIOTICS AS ACTIVATORS OF IMMUNE STATUS
In specialized industrial complexes with intensive methods of keeping animals, factors of various nature often negatively affect their body [1]. It should be noted that the protective function of the body does not always fully respond. Violation of this function can lead to an immunodeficiency state of the animal organism. Its stability decreases, immunity is weakened. Various species of animals and birds are susceptible to diseases of an infectious, non-infectious, invasive nature, associated, first of all, with disturbances in the functioning of the body's immune system, its sensitivity. In the works of prominent scientists of the Chuvash State Agrarian University, the need for further study of this problem is noted. Measures to improve the health of animals affecting the production of biologically safe products should be aimed primarily at solving technological, zootechnical, and veterinary problems [2]. For this purpose, it is necessary to study the dynamics of the level of the body's resistance to the effects of various unfavorable environmental factors. Hence the conclusion: without solving one problem, it is impossible to solve another. Issues related to the body's resistance to diseases of various etiologies remain relevant to this day. In practice, immunostimulants and a number of biological preparations containing bacterial cultures are used to increase the body's resistance and improve the immune status. As you know, immunobiological drugs increase the activity of various factors of the body's defense system, normalize metabolic processes. Drugs containing microorganisms activate metabolic processes, preserve and stabilize the body's immune background [3]. There is an urgent need for a wider use of existing means and various techniques that help to activate the processes that protect the body of animals. In industrial animal husbandry, it is necessary to use drugs related to non-specific immunomodulators in order to strengthen the body's resistance.
