Abstract

The article presents scientific studies to determine the biochemical parameters of blood serum in young and fattening pigs after the application of LG-MAX organic feed supplement at a dose of 2,0 g per day in feeding. According to the results of the study, it was established that biochemical parameters in the serum of the experimental group of pigs compared with the control group, in an appropriate manner, are in the following dynamics: the concentration of creatinine increases significantly at 45days of age; significantly reduced cholesterol and iron content; 120-day old significantly increases – the content of total protein and the content of potassium; significantly reduced – the concentration of albumin, β-globulins and the content of alkaline phosphatase; 155-day age significantly increases – the concentration of calcium, glucose, urea and iron content; significantly reduced – the concentration of β-globulins, creatinine and cholesterol levels. Fluctuations of biochemical parameters are within the physiological norm according to the age of the pigs. At the same time, the concentration of AsAT in the blood serum of 120-day-old pigs tended to increase and amounted to 67,80±1,16 U/L, 1,19% more than the upper limit of normal. In this regard, we can make only an assumption about the possible stimulation of biochemical processes and slight destruction of hepatocytes in the liver. However, the established tendency to an increase in the concentration of AsAT in the blood of experimental pigs is short-term and, on reaching the slaughter mass (155 days), meets the physiological norm
