Study of the effect of a biological product on meat productivity and lamb quality in the conditions of Sarpa JSC in the Ketchenerovsky district of the Republic of Kalmykia

Abstract

   Despite the economic crisis, industrialization in the livestock industry is planned in the country, especially sheep breeding, where it is planned to increase the demand for products. The population stopped perceiving sheep as a low-quality and rare product of agricultural production [1.4]. Producers are increasingly trying to win their place on the meat shelf, increasing the assortment and expanding the sales channel. In recent years, there has been an active restructuring of many animal husbandry industries, which have undergone multiple transformations, the share of small and medium-sized farms has decreased, and they have not been able to compete with large companies. Sheep rearing systems play a crucial role in ensuring consistent productivity and profitability of meat sheep farming [2]. With increased productivity, metabolic processes in the body are activated, the release of mineral substances with products increases, and therefore increases animals' need for them. Lack or excess of certain mineral elements com, violation of their optimal ratio in diets leads to metabolic disturbances processes, reducing digestibility and use of nutrients, effective the use of feed and animal productivity, and in case of long-term and acute deficiency or excess – even to specific diseases [8]
