Abstract

The main characteristic of sorbents is their polarity. The function of additives is based on their ability to connect and remove harmful substances from the animal stomach. The paper describes the influence of natural sorbents - zeolite and bentonite - on nutrient digestibility, milk productivity and its chemical composition. The introduction of 200 g of zeolite into the diet of cows allowed increasing the digestibility coefficients of crude protein by 3.17%, crude fiber by 5.07%, and hence producing 4% of milk per 256.34 kg or by 10.82% more. The use of bentonite increases the dry matter digestibility by 1.68%, crude fat - by 1.52, crude fiber - by 6.48%, which in turn increased milk production by over 655.63 kg.
