Productive and metabolic effect of BVMD in rations of lactating ewes in foothill zone of Carpathians

Abstract

Goal. To study the influence of BVMD on the components of local production on milk productivity, milk quality and hematological parameters of lactation sheep breeds in the foothills of the Carpathians. Methods. Experimental and statistical. The research was conducted on lactation sheep breeds of the Ukrainian mountain-Carpathian breed in the spring-summer period. Results The use of fattening livestock sheep breeds of the Ukrainian mountain-Carpathian breed of mixed fodder with BVMD, which consists of high- protein feeds of local production in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, made it possible to increase the hopes of commodity milk by 6.5%, the content of fat, protein and skimmed milk residue, and caloric content. Conclusions Feeding the BMD with the use of locally produced feeds for bivalve molluscs of the mountain- Carpathian breed in the spring-summer period in the foothills of the Carpathian region positively affects metabolism, milk productivity and milk quality.
