Abstract
In industrial production, it is extremely important to pay attention to the quality of daily diets and living conditions of animals. This is especially worth considering when working with highly productive animals, whose immune status may be more sensitive to environmental influences. Even if all standards are observed, sometimes it is not possible to completely protect animals from the effects of pathogenic factors, such as mycotoxins, bacterial and viral infections, foodborne diseases, etc. Considering the above, we can conclude that the goal of veterinary specialists is to prevent possible pathological conditions in productive animals. One of the important factors in the prevention of the above conditions can be feed additives, which can compensate for deficiencies in daily diets, be a source of biologically active substances and thereby increase the natural resistance and, importantly, the productivity of farm animals. Additives based on natural ingredients, such as algae, are of particular interest in the agricultural sector. In addition to its composition rich in biologically active substances, this supplement has the advantage of facilitated logistics and uncomplicated production, which is especially important for the Northwestern Federal District. In this regard, the purpose of this study was to study the effect of a specific feed additive based on fucus algae on the body of cows, in particular on the hematological status.
