Description

[0001] The invention relates to the field of veterinary medicine, in particular to premixes used for the prevention of mineral deficiency diseases, enzootic ataxia and endemic goiter of lambs, macro- and microelementoses of sheep. The invention makes it possible to increase the efficiency of the prevention of enzootic ataxia, endemic goiter of lambs, macro- and microelementoses of sheep and to expand the possibilities of use in other branches of animal husbandry. The essence of the invention: the premix contains a mixture of mineral salts, parts by weight: sodium chloride 4.31-6.5; dicalcium phosphate 0-4.98; diammonium phosphate 0-5.0 ferrous sulfate 0.21756-0.326680; copper sulfate 0.12673-0.02414; zinc sulfate 0.146552-0.22531; manganese sulfate 0.08485 - 0.13835; cobalt sulfate 0.002364-0.00483; calcium iodate 0.010683-0.01671.The use of the developed mineral premix ensures the prevention of enzootic ataxia and endemic goiter in lambs and other diseases associated with metabolic disorders, increases the live weight gain of lambs and the wool yield of sheep by 30-70%.

[0002] A known mineral preparation includes mineral salts in the composition, parts by weight: sodium chloride 93.7 - 95.5; copper sulfate 0.41 - 0.47; zinc sulfate 0.41 - 0.60; manganese sulfate 1.20 - 1.38; Mohr's salt 1.50 - 1.60 (Application of macro- and microelements in sheep breeding in the North Caucasus, Moscow: Rosselkhozizdat, 1980). The disadvantage of the known preparation is the short-term effectiveness in the prevention of enzootic ataxia of lambs.

[0003] Also known is a mineral preparation, which is closest to the proposed one in technical essence and the achieved effect, including mineral salts in the composition, parts by weight: sodium chloride 93.7 - 95.5; copper sulfate 0.41 - 0.47; zinc sulfate 0.41 - 0.60; manganese sulfate 1.20 -1.38; Mohr's salt 1.50 - 1.60, according to the invention, the mineral preparation additionally contains a prolongator - polyethylene glycol in an amount of 0.45 -2.78% of the weight of the preparation. The disadvantage of the known preparation is low efficiency in the prevention of enzootic ataxia and endemic goiter in lambs and macro- and microelementoses in sheep. It does not contain a stable iodine-containing compound calcium iodate, cobalt sulfate, dicalcium phosphate and diammonium phosphate.

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to increase the effectiveness of mineral components in the prevention of enzootic ataxia and endemic goiter in lambs, other macro- and microelementoses in sheep, as well as to increase meat and wool productivity in the case of distant-pasture maintenance of sheep in summer and winter pastures by introducing four new compounds of mineral substances into the composition of the mineral premix: a stable iodine-containing compound of calcium iodate, cobalt sulfate, diammonium phosphate and dicalcium phosphate.

[0005] The set objective is achieved by the fact that the mineral premix, including mineral salts in the composition, parts by weight: sodium chloride 6.5-4.31; dicalcium phosphate 0-4.98; diammonium phosphate 0-5.0 iron sulfate 0.21756-0.326680; copper sulfate 0.12673-0.02414; zinc sulfate 0.146552-0.22531; manganese sulfate 0.08485 0.13835; cobalt sulfate 0, 002364-0.00483; calcium iodate 0.010683-0.01671 sodium chloride 4.31; dicalcium phosphate 4.98; diammonium phosphate 5.0; Iron sulfate 0.32668; Copper sulfate 0.02414; Zinc sulfate 0.22531; Manganese sulfate 0.13835; Cobalt sulfate 0.00483; Calcium iodate 0.010683- 0.01671.

[0006] Unlike the known technical solution, the proposed technical solution introduces a stable iodine-containing compound (calcium iodate), cobalt sulfate, diammonium phosphate, and dicalcium phosphate into the premix "mineral premix for the prevention of enzootic ataxia and endemic goiter in lambs, and macro- and microelementoses in sheep" during the production cycle. Therefore, the claimed product meets the "novelty" criterion.

[0007] The next difference of the proposed technical solution is that a stable iodine-containing iodine compound (calcium iodate) is introduced into the premix, which effectively prevents endemic goiter in animals, which ensures that it meets the criterion of “significant differences”.

[0008] The essence of the invention is that in the proposed technical solution, during the technological cycle of preparing the mineral premix “mineral premix for the prevention of enzootic ataxia and endemic goiter in lambs, macro- and microelementoses in sheep”, a stable iodine compound (calcium iodate), cobalt sulfate, diammonium phosphate, and dicalcium phosphate are introduced into the composition. At the same time, the mineral premix "mineral premix for the prevention of enzootic ataxia and endemic goiter of lambs, macro- and microelementoses of sheep" acquires new qualities that ensure the effective use of mineral and other components of the premix by the body of animals, which contributes to an increase in their meat and wool productivity and the prevention of enzootic ataxia and endemic goiter of lambs, other macro- and microelementoses of sheep, which is a "positive effect".

[0009] The mineral preparation is prepared as follows: according to the recipe, weigh out the appropriate quantities of copper, zinc, manganese, and Mohr's salts (iron ammonium sulfate), mix them in a mixer, add a portion of polyethylene glycol, and continue mixing until thoroughly mixed (mixture No. 1). Mixture No. 2 is prepared in a mixing hopper by thoroughly mixing the sodium chloride and mixture No. 1 for 7-10 minutes.

[0010] The prepared mixture is sent for pressing and briquetting. The prepared mineral lick briquettes are delivered to farms, where they are laid out for easy access in feeding areas and sheep shelters.

[0011] Recipe 1. Prepare a mineral lick according to the recipe, parts by weight: sodium chloride 95.5; copper sulfate 0.47; zinc sulfate 0.60; manganese sulfate 1.38; Mohr's salt 1.60, polyethyleneglycol 0.45. Briquettes made according to this recipe are used for feeding sheep on summer pastures in the mountainous zone.

[0012] Recipe 2. Prepare a mineral briquette according to the recipe, parts by weight: sodium chloride 93.7; copper sulfate 0.41; zinc sulfate 0.41; manganese sulfate 1.20; Mohr's salt 1.60, polyethyleneglycol 2.78. Briquettes according to this recipe are used for feeding sheep in the lowland zone of winter pastures.

[0013] The mineral premix is ​​prepared as follows: weigh out the appropriate quantities of copper, zinc, manganese, iron, cobalt, and iodine salts according to the recipe, mix them in a mixer, and continue mixing until thoroughly mixed (mixture No. 1). Mixture No. 2 is prepared in a mixing hopper by thoroughly mixing the sodium chloride, dicalcium phosphate, and diammonium phosphate samples with mixture No. 1 for 7-10 minutes.

Mineral premix according to this recipe is used for feeding sheep on summer pastures in the mountain zone. Sheep are fed once a day at the rate of 6.9754 grams per head in a mixture of concentrated feeds.

[0015] Recipe 4. Prepare a mineral premix according to the recipe, parts by weight: sodium chloride 4.31; dicalcium phosphate 4.98; diammonium phosphate 5.0; iron sulfate 0.32668; copper sulfate 0.02414; zinc sulfate 0.22531; manganese sulfate 0.13835; cobalt sulfate 0.00483; calcium iodate 0.01671. Briquettes according to this recipe are used for feeding sheep in the lowland zone of winter pastures. Sheep are fed once a day at the rate of 15.0290 grams per head in a mixture of concentrated feed.

[0016] The effectiveness of the mineral premix was determined in comparison with an analogue. For this purpose, four groups of pregnant sheep of the same age, weight and fatness were formed: Group 1 - experimental (100 heads) - received the main diet and a mineral preparation prepared according to recipe 1 with the addition of 0.45 wt. % polyethyleneglycol; Group 2 - experimental (100 heads) - received the main diet and a mineral preparation prepared according to recipe 2 with the addition of 2.78 wt. % polyethyleneglycol; Group 3 - experimental (100 heads) - received the main diet and a mineral premix prepared according to recipe 3; Group 4 - experimental (100) received the main diet and a mineral premix prepared according to recipe 4; Group 5 - control (100 heads) - received the main diet. The animals were under observation for 8 months.

[0017] The results of the scientific experiment showed that during the observation period, the lambs obtained from the experimental and control pregnant ewes fell ill with enzootic ataxia: in group I (experimental) - 3 heads or 3.0%; in group II (experimental) - 2 heads or 2% of sick; in group III (experimental) - no sick; in group IV (experimental) - no sick; in group V (control) 6 heads or 6.0%. The lambs obtained from the experimental and control pregnant ewes fell ill with endemic goiter: in group I (experimental) - 8 heads or 8.0%; in group II (experimental) - 9 heads or 9%; in group III (experimental) - no sick; in group IV (experimental) - no sick; in group V (control) 12 heads or 12.0%.

[0018] Moreover, during the observation period, the additional gain in live weight of lambs (per animal) in comparison with the control group was: in experimental group 1 - 2.1 kg, in experimental group 2 - 3.0 kg, in experimental group 3 - 3.6 kg, in experimental group 4 - 4.0 kg. The additional gain in wool yield was: in experimental group 1 - 300 g, in experimental group 2 - 365 g, in experimental group 3 - 460 g, in experimental group 4 - 600 g.
