The article presents the results of research of the metabolic and productive effects of domestically produced pro- and prebiotic preparations, made on the basis of Saccharomuces cerevisiae baker's yeast by using them as additives in the feed rations of lactating ewes.
The research was carried out in the conditions of the sheep farm of the State Research Farm "Grusyatichi" (Carpathian foothills zone) and the department of small animal husbandry of the Institute of Agriculture of the Carpathian Region of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine on 7 groups of lactating ewes of the Askanian meat-wool breed with crossbred wool, 5 heads in each group, selected according to the principle of analogues in the 2-month winter-spring stall period (February ‒ March). The main daily feeding ration of the ewes of control group consisted of meadow grass hay (1.5 kg) and standard compound feed K 83-19-89 (0.7 kg), which provided the animals' need for nutrients, macro- and microelements in accordance with domestic feeding standards Animals had free access to drinking water.At the end of the experimental period, after the morning feeding, from 3 ewes of each of the experimental groups, with the help of an oroesophageal probe, rumen fluid was collected, in which the numerical composition of microbes, ciliates and microscopic fungi and the amylolytic, proteolytic and cellulolytic enzymatic activity of the microbiota were determined. Evaluation of the productive qualities of lambs born by ewes was carried out by determining the average growth of their live weight during the period from birth to weaning.
The conducted studies established that the probiotic preparation Enzymactiv (EA), introduced in quantities of 0.4; 0.8 and 1.2 % and the prebiotic preparation Inactivated dry glutathione yeast (IDGY), added in doses of 1.0; 1.4 and 1.8 % of the mass of compound feed stimulates the reproduction and vital activity of ruminal microbiota, their enzymatic activity and increases the intensity of growth of suckling lambs. The most pronounced stimulating effect on the qualitative and quantitative composition of the rumen microbiota, its metabolic activity in lactating ewes and the growth and development of lambs obtained from them is revealed by 0.8 % EA probiotic and IDGY prebiotic in quantity of 1.4 % respectively from weight of combined fodder.
Keywords: lactating ewes, suckling lambs, baker's yeast, probiotics, prebiotics, rumen microbiota, animal productivity.
