Formation features of humoral immunity in newborn calves in case of including haylage with bio-preservative into the diet of cows

The peculiarities of the formation of colostrum in the udder of cows and the immune status in the body of calves in the first hours and days after birth, when included in the diet of cows, haylage from eastern goat’s rue prepared with the use of bio-preservatives “Silostan” (group II) and “GreenGrass 3 × 3”(Group III). The study of colostrum of the first milk yield showed that feeding cows with silage with the bio-preservative “Silostan” contributed to an increase in the content of immunoglobulins by 4.0% (Р<0,001), with bio-preservative “GreenGras 3 × 3” - by 5.3% (Р<0,001). After drinking the first portion of colostrum, immunoglobulins appear in the blood serum of calves after 2 hours. After 6 hours, the content of immunoglobulins in the blood serum of calves of group II was 21.9% higher than in group I (haylage without preservative) (P < 0.05), group III - by 27.1% (P
