ABSTRACT
The aim of the current study was to analyse the effect of different
doses of a new probiotic (produced in Ukraine from Saccharomyces cerevisiae)
in the feed on the production of nitrogen metabolites in the rumen, enzymatic
activity of the digestive tract microbiota and growth rate of young ewes. The
experiments showed that the supplementation of the probiotic EnzActive at
doses of 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2% (w/w) to concentrate feed for 11–12 month old sheep
had a positive effect on the production of nitrogen compounds, enzymatic activity
of the rumen microbiota and animal growth intensity. It was proven that the
introduction of the specified probiotic at a dose of 1.2% significantly increased
the production of total nitrogen and amylolytic, proteolytic and cellulolytic activity
of the rumen microbiota compared to animals that did not receive it. It was
also found that the highest significant indices of animal growth rate during the
experimental period were obtained for 0.8% probiotic supplementation.
