Ecological and Biochemical Evaluation of the Kalmyk Cattle Meat When Including Mineral Feed Additives in Fattering Bulls Diet
Year: 2021
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The article presents the study results of the Kalmyk breed bulls meat chemical composition, that had been fed local non-traditional feed additives — zeolite and salt. The data shows differences in chemical composition of the average sample bulls meat, in the experimental group dry matter was from 27.09 to 31.02%, meat protein was 2.97% higher, and fat was 2.18% higher than the control group. The ratio of protein and fat in both group meat was 0.62-0.64. In studied meat samples was different vitamin content. In the experimental animals meat, B1 vitamin was 26.8% higher, B2 -5.9%, E - 2.6%, PP - 8.2%. Studies show that the mineral additives in the diet contributes to a greater accumulation of dry matter, nutrients, and vitamins. Under such technology, beef has a great energy density and biological value. The article also reflects the study results of the Kalmyk bulls meat macro- and microelement composition. When analyzing the data, we found that the animals receiving natural feed additives have the best ultimate composition in their meat.
