INCREASING THE STABILITY OF COMBINED FEEDS DURING THEIR STORAGE

Abstract

Effective fodder with stable quality indicators allows to maximize the efficiency of feeding in animal husbandry. The effectiveness of the use of compound feed is explained by their quality. The desired result can be obtained under the condition that the formulation and dosage of the constituent components fully meet the needs of the animal body, a certain species, age, direction of productivity and physiological indicators. During storage, compound feed changes its quality characteristics, which leads to a change in the useful properties of the product and can cause diseases in animals. The addition of antioxidants to compound feed increases the stability of vitamins and contributes to the improvement of the quality of livestock products. It was established that the mechanism of action of antioxidants consists in the formation of a slow passage of a chain of oxidation processes, and antioxidant molecules come into interaction and contact with active radicals that are in the product. As a result, less active radicals appear and they do not interact with the molecules of the starting substances. Due to this, oxidation is either slowed down or stopped, but the action of antioxidants is slowly stopped.
