Popis: The reduction in the use of feed antibiotics in animal husbandry to prevent a number of diseases and increase the productivity of pigs predetermined the need to search for alternative means in feeding that could be similar to antibiotics in terms of their effect on the pigs’ organism. In this regard, the widespread use of acidifiers based on organic acids. Due to the biological characteristics of pigs, piglets aged 28-30 days after weaning from sows produce an insufficient amount of hydrochloric acid in the body. The introduction of acidifiers helps to increase the digestibility of feed, and has an antimicrobial effect. A positive effect on the increase in live weight gain and the safety of piglets was shown by the results of the use of feed concentrate “Furor-T” for growing and fattening. This feed additive, obtained using a special technology from natural organic substances, is a mixture of fulvic and humic acids. The introduction of concentrate into feed in an amount of 5 to 20 g per 1 kg of feed in different periods of growth increases the average daily gain by 10-13% and ensures 100% safety of the livestock.
