In some embodiments of the invention, the method for producing a feed additive includes a stage of structuring a zeolite, a stage of enzymatic hydrolysis of the blood of productive animals to obtain an amino acid component, and also a stage of enriching the structured zeolite with an amino acid component obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of the blood of productive animals in the stage above.
[0024] As a result of implementing the invention, the following technical results are achieved:
[0025] - a new and effective feed additive for farm animals has been developed, which normalizes metabolism and increases cattle productivity;
[0026] - the feed additive according to the invention increases the productivity of cattle, more specifically, the additive according to the invention promotes an increase in milk productivity, an average daily milk increase of 2.63-3.92 kg, and a decrease in feed consumption by approximately 10.92-19.43%;
[0027] - the feed additive according to the invention promotes increased digestibility and assimilation of nutrients of the main feed of farm animals, in particular, increased digestibility of dry matter of the feed, organic matter, better digestibility of protein, fat, crude fiber and nitrogen-free extractive substances;
[0028] - the feed additive according to the invention helps to enhance the protective properties of the body of farm animals, in particular, dairy cows, namely an increase in the number of leukocytes, lymphocytes, and IgM immunoglobulins;
[0029] - the feed additive according to the invention improves the morphological composition of blood, enhances erythropoiesis in farm animals, in particular dairy cows, and also increases the level of hemoglobin;
[0030] - the feed additive according to the invention enhances protein metabolism, including total protein, albumins, a-globulins, gamma-globulins, aspartate aminotransferase (hereinafter AST) and alanine aminotransferase (hereinafter ALT) activity while reducing urea levels in farm animals, in particular dairy cows;

[0035] - the feed additive according to the invention is safe for the environment;
[0036] - the feed additive according to the invention ensures the production of safe, high-quality organic products.
[0037] The porous microstructure of the zeolites in the additive according to the invention determines its unique properties as an ion exchanger, catalyst, molecular sieve and adsorbent. The dimensions of the holes are mathematically verified and do not exceed 6 angstroms (A). This quality makes the mineral a "molecular sieve" that easily passes various chemical and biological toxins through itself. The dimensions of the channels are sufficient for the penetration of organic molecules and cations, and their total volume together with the pores reaches 50%. The total cation exchange capacity of native zeolite is 80 mg-eq / 100 g, after structuring it increases to 150 mg-eq / 100 g, with a significant role in the exchange played by amorphous silicon up to 35% (after activation - increases to 60%) and exchangeable calcium up to 68% (after activation - increases to 90%), exchangeable: potassium up to 3%, sodium up to 1% and magnesium up to 3%.This gives the zeolite according to the invention a high ion-exchange capacity, the properties of an adsorbent and donor, to absorb and release moisture, and to prolong the action of the substances with which it is mixed.
[0038] The amino acid component in the additive according to the invention is a product of enzymatic hydrolysis of the blood of productive animals, i.e. it is of animal origin, with a high content of not only amino acids, but also vitamins and chelates of mineral elements (zinc and copper). Thus, the use of the amino acid component according to the invention in the additive allows to exclude the use of any additional vitamin-amino acid complexes, and its use together with zeolite in the additive according to the invention unexpectedly ensures the achievement of the results disclosed in this document.
[0039] As a result of using the feed additive according to the invention in the body of farm animals, in particular cows, the digestion processes are enhanced, the feed is better absorbed, which normalizes metabolic processes and increases milk synthesis through the following physiological mechanisms:
[0040] - when the additive granules enter the body, the movement of the food bolus slows down, the food stays longer in the stomach and intestines, where it is thoroughly broken down, while the enzymes of the digestive tract are immobilized;
[0041] - granules that enter the stomach do not enter the cells, and their main active substance - amorphous silicon passes into a gel-like state and becomes orthosilicic acid (H4S1O4), which comes into contact with the cells through the connective tissue and carries out an exchange of ions into the cell. Adsorption and absorption of substances occurs, harmful gases, poisons and toxins are removed from the body;
[0042] - for ruminants, zeolite is a nitrogen reservoir, since it selectively binds and releases up to 15% of ammonia, promotes the productive use of nitrogen for protein synthesis. It slows down the breakdown of protein in the rumen, ensuring its effective use;
[0043] - the activity of rumen microflora increases, the transformation of nutrients is enhanced, the level of volatile fatty acids in the rumen increases;
[0044] - regulates the composition and concentration of electrolytes, acid-base balance, a certain reserve of mineral elements is created, which is used for a long time;
[0045] - by binding pathogenic strains of microorganisms and their toxins, it increases the immunity and health of the animal, reduces the load on the organs of intoxication and excretion;
[0046] - has a beneficial effect on the intestinal mucosa, improves its blood supply.

[0079] Implementation of the invention
[0080] Example 1. Obtaining a structured zeolite according to the invention.
[0081] The structured zeolite according to the invention has a natural origin - a mineral rock of the volcanic-sedimentary type, the crystal lattice is built from rings formed by aluminum-silicon-oxygen tetrahedrons (Figure 1). It has a complex system of microcavities and channels, where exchange cations of alkali and alkaline earth metals and molecules of zeolite water are located, having significant freedom of movement.
[0082] The composition of the mineral rock includes: zeolite clinoptilolite - 36% and a mixture of minerals: montmorillonite - 25%, biocalcite - 10%, quartz - 7% and opal-cristobalite - 23% (Figure 2), in total up to 40 mineral elements.
[0083] Natural (native) zeolite is placed in storage, where it is averaged by aging for at least 1-3 months. After that, the zeolite is sent to the processing line, where it undergoes cascade mechanical activation. Cascade mechanical activation of natural zeolite allows changing the mineralogical composition of the original raw material, namely: purifying natural zeolite from impurities and obtaining a product with the maximum content of the active component - clinoptilolite and montmorillonite. The results of X-ray structural analysis confirm this. Mechanical activation is based on the difference in strength on the Mohs scale of minerals included in the zeolite rock.
[0084] After mechanical activation, the zeolite is fed via a conveyor system for thermal activation in the kiln. The kiln has a complex structure and allows for high-speed structuring at a strictly fixed temperature of 400 °C, since the main component of the zeolite rock is clinoptilolite, and it does not allow high temperatures.
[0085] During thermal activation, chemically bound water is removed, pores are opened, the diameter of the “entrance windows of the zeolite lattice” increases, the mobility of exchange cations increases, and most importantly, the content of amorphous silicon increases.
[0086] The mineral then enters the refrigeration units, where it is intensively cooled to 30°C, cooling is done to stop oxidation-reduction processes. Ventilation systems that ensure recirculation of the air mixture are involved in this process.
[0087] The material is then sent to a vibrating screen for sorting into fractions from 0 to 5 mm. The large fraction of 5-10 mm is sent for additional crushing and again for sieving. The ion exchange capacity of the finished material is 0.32 mg / eq / g, the true density is 2.22 g / cm 3 , bulk density 0.7 g / cm 3 . Moisture absorption - 5 l per 1 kg.
[0088] Example 2. Obtaining an amino acid component according to the invention.
[0089] The amino acid component according to the invention is of animal origin. It can be obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of the blood of productive animals.
[0090] The process of hydrolysis of blood of productive animals is carried out in a reactor with a volume of 1.0 m 3, reactor filling factor is 0.8. At the preparatory stage, 8.0 kg of bovine pancreas are ground and a suspension is prepared by adding 8.0 kg of water and mixing. Bovine blood mixed with water in a ratio of 2:1 is poured into the reactor, the total amount of the mixture is 700 l, heated to a temperature of 50 ° C and the first stage of enzymatic hydrolysis is carried out for 10 hours using bovine pancreatic enzymes. Next, a citric acid solution is prepared by diluting 20 kg of citric acid in 100 l of water and added to the reaction mixture. The second stage of hydrolysis is carried out at a constant temperature for 2 hours, then the enzymatic hydrolysis is inactivated by increasing the temperature to 80 ° C for 40 minutes. The mixture is cooled. The resulting product is an amino acid component in the feed additive of the invention.
[0091] As follows from the above method, the present invention provides for the use of by-products of slaughter of productive animals (blood, endocrine glands), as a result of which emissions and pollution of the environment are reduced, as well as energy costs for the disposal of by-products of slaughter of productive animals.
[0092] Example 3. Obtaining a feed additive according to the invention.
[0093] The feed additive according to the invention is obtained by enriching the structured zeolite with an amino acid component using special equipment (for example, as described in RU206018). The amino acid component (obtained according to example 2) is diluted to the required concentration with distilled (ionized) water in a ratio of 1:10. The zeolite is saturated with a concentrated aqueous solution of the amino acid component in batch mixers.
[0094] In this installation, a synergistic interaction occurs, rather than a simple mixing of the structured zeolite and the components embedded in it.
[0095] To prepare the KD_KRS-2 composition, blue iodine is added to the dissolved mixture. Then the main components are mixed. As a result, the zeolite is saturated with the amino acid component, and the amino acids are distributed in the pores and channels of the zeolite lattice.
[0096] Example 4. Examples of compositions of the feed additive according to the invention.
[0097] Tables 1 and 2 present the compositions of the feed additive according to the invention.
[0098] Table 1 - Composition of feed additive for cattle (KD_KRS -1)
[0099] Table 2 - Composition of feed additive for cattle (KD_KRS-2)
[0100] Example 5. Study of the efficiency of the feed additive according to the invention. The feed additive was tested on a livestock population at the dairy farm of Krasnaya Zvezda LLC in the Ulyanovsk region of the Russian Federation. Lactating cows of the black-and-white breed (average live weight - 530 kg, age - 5 years) were formed into two groups: 1-control (45 heads) and 2-experiment (45 heads). The conditions of keeping and feeding in the groups were the same, the difference was that the cows of the 2nd group were given the feed additive according to the invention in the compound feed once a day (during the morning feeding) in the amount of 2% of the dry matter of the diet, according to the composition in Table 1. The duration of the experiment was 100 days. The results of the experiment showed an increase in the productivity of dairy cows (Figure 3); on average, during the experimental period, the daily milk yield increase in cows in the 2nd group was 3.31 kg (which is 15.80% more than in the control group). Before the experiment, the cow groups did not differ significantly in average daily milk yield.The use of the additive stimulated milk production in cows of the 2nd group by an average of 15.15% to 25.61 l (p<0.05) over 30 days of the experiment, against 22.24 l in the control, the milk increase was 3.37 l. Over the period of 60 days of the experiment, the cows of the 2nd group showed an increase in milk yield compared to the control by 18.60% (p<0.05). After the end of feeding the additive, a prolonging effect was observed, milk productivity in cows of the experimental group increased by 13.26% compared to the control in the 1st group.
[0101] This effect is associated with the normalization of metabolism (amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates and minerals), with the creation of a reserve of mineral elements and amino acids in the depot organs and their gradual use for the needs of the body. This generally contributes to better absorption of nutrients in the feed, has a beneficial effect on the general physiological state of the body and ensures increased milk productivity.
[0102] The use of the additive according to the invention ensures the production of ecologically clean livestock products, the results of radiospectrometry showed that in milk samples of cows of the 2nd group, the specific radioactivity of cesium-137 was 1.35±0.3 Bq / kg (56.7% lower), against 3.12±2.4 in the control, the contamination of milk with strontium-90 radionuclides is reduced to 1.26±0.7 Bq / kg (by 66.3%), against 3.74±0.2 in the control.
[0103] The improvement of the physiological and biochemical status of the animals is evidenced by the data on the increase in their blood: erythrocytes by 11.3%, hemoglobin to 125.00±2.8 (p<0.05) (Figure 4) - by 8.55%, which indicates an increase in the respiratory function of the blood. An increase in the number of leukocytes by 7.63% (p<0.05), lymphocytes by 5.72% (p<0.05), immunoglobulins IgM - by 4.6% (p<0.05) in the blood of cows in the experimental group was noted within the norm compared to the control (Figure 5), which indicates an increase in the overall resistance of the body to the action of unfavorable environmental factors. An increase in the metabolism of proteins, amino acids and minerals in the body of cows of the 2nd group was established: an increase in the content of total protein by 5.68%, incl. albumins by 8.25% (p<0.05), a-globulins by 5.32% (p<0.05) and y-globulins by 7.4% (p<0.05), AST activity by 8.94% (p<0.05) and ALT by 6.21%, with a decrease in the urea level by 10.2% (p<0.05), which indicates an increase in protein metabolism in the body of cattle.An increase in carbohydrate metabolism was revealed, i.e. an increase within the norm of glucose by 3.21% and LDH activity by 6.23% (p<0.05). When using the additive, normalization of mineral metabolism indices in the cows' bodies occurred, i.e. an increase in the activity of the alkaline phosphatase (AP) enzyme by 11.15%, an increase in the level of calcium (Ca) by 9.17% (p<0.01) and phosphorus (P) by 4.16% in the blood of animals. Analysis of the mineral composition of cows' milk revealed an increase in the level of Ca by 10.50% (p<0.01); P by 3.95%; zinc (Zn) by 16.9% (p<0.01), iron (Fe) by 20.56% and copper (Cu) by 12.46% (p<0.05) compared to these indices in the control.
[0104] Better absorption of feed nutrients is evidenced by the data on the increase in the digestibility of dry matter of feed by 8.13% (p<0.05), organic matter - by 5.4% (p<0.05), better digestibility of protein - by 6, 12% (p<0.05), fat - by 3.93%, crude fiber - by 9.36 and nitrogen-free extractive substances - by 3.11%. In general, the total level of nitrogen use for milk and nitrogen deposition in the body of cows increased by 19.34% compared to the control, a positive nitrogen balance was noted, the process of milk formation was enhanced, more nitrogen went to the synthesis of new protein and less was excreted from the body with urine and feces.
[0105] Similar patterns were established in young cattle - heifers aged 3-6 months, which were also formed into groups of 100 animals each, when studying the composition according to Table 2. The additive was fed in the amount of 2% of the dry matter of the diet for 60 days. The results showed that their blood parameters improved (Table 4): the content of erythrocytes increased by 7.72% (p < 0.05), hemoglobin - by 8.47% (p < 0.05), leukocytes - by 14.43% (p < 0.05), hematocrit - by 8.88% compared to the control.

[0108] The beneficial effect on metabolic processes, on the health of animals and their general physiological condition, better digestibility of feed contributed to an increase in the live weight of animals (Table 6). In the experimental group of heifers, the average live weight was 188.67 kg, against 165.00 kg in the control, which is 23.67 kg more.
