Chemical and amino acid composition of bare-grained barley was studied. Use of bare-grained barley as a component of compound feeds for young pigs favors the increase of live weight, decrease of food conversion rate and increase of economic efficiency
Modern pig farming is a leading global livestock
industry, but the organization of adequate balanced
feeding is actual for the industry. Digestibility of
metabolizable energy of feed depends on various
factors, including the content of non-starch
polysaccharides, which have a negative effect on the
digestibility of key nutrients of the feed, lead to a
decrease in growth rate and conversion efficiency of
nutrients. Enzyme preparations which composition
generally includes Xylanase, cellulase, β-glucanase
activities, may avoid the negative impact of non-starch
polysaccharides. Today's promising preparation that
combines the functions of two feed additives - feed
enzyme and probiotic, is an enzyme preparation
Cellobacterin that, due to the particular organization of
the enzyme complex, increases the digestibility of
barley grain and effectively effects on sunflower meal.
As a probiotic preparation it inhibits the development
of pathogenic microorganisms and promotes the
formation of beneficial microflora in the digestive
tract. The introduction of Cellobacterin enzyme
preparation into the compound feed with a high
content of barley grain and sunflower meal increases
the body weight of young pigs by 4.8% and reduces
the cost of feed per 1 kg of live weight gain. The
results of hematological studies found no significant
deviations from the physiological norm in the
morphological picture of the blood in experimental
animals. The group, where Cellobacterin was added,
showed higher vitamin A content by 2.8% as
compared to the control, while vitamin E is found in
both groups on the same level. Based on the results of
the research to improve the productivity and growth
rate in compound feed based on barley and sunflower
meal with higher fiber content, it is recommended to
include in the compound feed Cellobacterin enzyme
preparation at the rate of 1 kg per 1 ton of feed
