Hygienic assessment of the influence of the prebiotic feed additive "Beta-Carotene Complex" on milk productivity of Alpine and Saanen goats

Today, the main task of keeping animals is to create optimal conditions for the maximum manifestation of their genetic, productive and individual characteristics, compliance with the rules of feeding and maintenance. In the current conditions of Russian goat breeding, where the year-round stall system of keeping goats is mainly used, increased requirements must be imposed on the quality of livestock buildings, systems of keeping and feeding. One of the most important reasons for the birth of weak lambs is inadequate feeding of pregnant goats, which does not correspond to the biological characteristics of fetal growth. To achieve high quality and further preservation of the offspring, various prebiotic feed additives are successfully used, which normalize metabolic processes, increase the digestibility and palatability of feed, ultimately increasing the quantity and improving the quality of the resulting dairy products.
