The aim of the project is to analyze the effect of the addition of feed additives in ruminants on the level of rumen fermentation activity and intermediate metabolism in relation to the quantity and quality of production, feed and nutrient conversion. In monogastric animals, analyze the effect on digestion, uptake and excretion of harmful substances, metabolism, feed conversion and performance. The focus of the work is to quantify the absorption, buffering and ion-exchange capacity of natural additives (zeolites, humic acids, bentonites) for the stability of protein, energy metabolism and buffering capacity of the rumen. In monogastric animals, quantify the effect of binding capacity on the uptake and retention of toxic substances and ammonia at the level of the digestive system and their excretion to improve digestion and nutrient metabolism, prevent GIT diseases and improve immunological resistance. The aim of the project is to comprehensively evaluate the system of nutritional application of additives and the ecological impact on the microclimate of the manure environment, excrement storage and soil ecosystem.
