Abstract

The article presents the results of studies on the effect on wool productivity and quality indicators of wool of lactating ewes and the growth rate of suckling lambs of the use of probiotic "Enzymactive" (EA) and prebiotic "Inactivated dry glutathione yeast" (ISGD) additives in the rations, made on the basis of baking fungi Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The study was conducted in the conditions of the sheep farm of the State Research Farm (SRF) "Grusiatychi" (Carpathian foothills zone) and the Department of Small Animal Husbandry of the Institute of Agriculture of the Carpathian Region of the NAAS of Ukraine on 3 groups of lactating ewes of the Askania meat-wool breed with crossbred wool, 5 heads in each, selected according to the principle of analogues during the 2-month winter-spring stall period (February-March). The main daily feeding ration of ewes of the control group consisted of meadow grass-herbaceous hay (1.5 kg) and standard compound feed K 83-19-89 (0.6 kg), which provided the animals' need for nutrients, macro- and microelements according to domestic standards for feeding sheep. The animals had free access to drinking water. The wool productivity of ewes was determined by the results of spring shearing, and the qualitative technological qualities of wool were determined by generally accepted methods. The growth rate of lambs born to ewes was determined by their monthly weighing and determining the average daily live weight gains for the period from birth to weaning at 2 months of age. The obtained digital data were statistically processed using the standard computer program Microsoft Excel. The conducted studies have shown that the probiotic preparation "Enzymactive" (EA), introduced in an amount of 0.8 %, and the prebiotic preparation "Inactivated dry glutathione yeast" (ISGD), added in a dose of 1.4 % of the weight of the compound feed, produced by the company "Enzym Company" (Lviv city), increase the wool productivity of ewes, improve the technological quality of wool, and stimulate the growth and development of suckling lambs.
