Abstract

The effect of different doses of pro- and prebiotic preparations of domestic production made on the basis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast when added to the feeding rations of young sheeps on the qualitative and quantitative composition of rumen microbiota and productive qualities of animals was studied. The experiments were performed on ewes of Askanian meat and wool breeds aged 11–12 months during the winter-spring stall period. The diet of animals of the control group consisted of meadow hay and standard feed K 83-19-89. Animals of the experimental groups in the composition of feed received pro- and prebiotic drugs produced by PJSC "Enzyme Company" (Lviv).

It was found that the use of probiotic "Enzymactiv" (EA) in the composition of young ewes' feed in doses of 0.4; 0.8 and 1.2% and prebiotic "Inactivated dry glutathione yeast" (ISGD) in the amount of 1.0; 1.4 and 1.8% of feed mass has an activating effect on the reproduction of symbiotic rumenal microorganisms such as bacteria, ciliates and microscopic fungi, as well as stimulates the growth and development of animals.

The addition of probiotic EA in these doses to the feed of young ewes increases the total number of microbes in the ewes' rumenal fluid by 6.9–48.3%; the number of ciliates – by 5.7–30.2%; the number of microscopic fungi – by 51.6–100.0%. The use of prebiotic ISGD in the feed compound of animals in the studied doses increases the number of bacteria and fungi in the rumenal content by 41.4–96.6 and 70.8–109.7% and reduces the number of cicatricial ciliates by 1.9–12.8%.

The introduction of probiotic EA to feed in the studied doses increases the gross gain of live weight of animals during the experimental period by 15–35%, and relative – by 14–32%, while the use of prebiotic ISGD in the diet increases these productivity indicators by 30–55 and 27–50%.

Based on the results of experimental studies to stimulate the reproduction of cicatricial microbiota and the intensity of animal growth, it is recommended to add from the weight of feed for young sheep in the winter-spring stall period 0.8% probiotic EA or 1.4% prebiotic ISGD
