The use of medicinal herbs in the feeding of suckling calves

Hranidba obuhvaća niz aktivnosti uključujući radnje vezane za pronalazak i prepoznavanje hrane, diskriminaciju senzornih osobina hrane, selekciju, uzimanje hrane i njenu probavu. Jedan od prirodnih dodataka koji se danas upotrebljavaju su fitobiotici. Oni su prirodni bioaktivni spojevi dobiveni iz biljaka čija je uloga da u hrani poboljšavaju proizvodnost životinja, štite njihovo zdravlje i poboljšavaju kvalitetu proizvoda (meso). Pulmo CX Lacto FREE Flowing jedan je od prirodnih fitobiotika čiji sastojci su piskavica, eukaliptus i zeleni propolis, te se koriste kao dodatak prehrani sisajuće teladi. Koristili smo ga u ovom diplomskom radu te pratili napredak teladi. Pokusnoj skupini u mliječnu zamjenicu dodana je mješavina fitobiotika u količini od 3 g/teletu dnevno. Od svih praćenih statističkih razlika ( porođajna tjelesna masa, tjelesna masa 10.dan, vrijednost ukupnog prirasta, vrijednost prosječnog dnevnog prirasta, refraktometrija seruma), tek se nešto bolje pokazala tjelesna masa 10.dan, koja je bila 8% viša kod pokusne skupine.Animal feeding includes a series of activities including actions related to finding and recognizing food, discrimination of sensory properties of food, selection, taking food and its digestion. One of the natural supplements used today are phytobiotics. Phytobiotics are natural bioactive compounds obtained from plants whose role in food is to improve the productivity of animals, protect their health and improve the quality of the product (meat). Pulmo CX Lacto FREE Flowing is one of the natural phytobiotics whose ingredients are fenugreek, eucalyptus and green propolis, and is used as a nutritional supplement for suckling calves. We used it in this thesis and monitored the progress of the calves. In the experimental group, a mixture of phytobiotics was added to the milk substitute in the amount of 3 g/calf per day. Of all the monitored statistical differences (birth body mass, body mass on day 10, value of total growth, value of average daily growth, serum refractometry), body mass on day 10 performed slightly better, which was 8% higher in the experimental group
