- Abstract
Commercial, industrial pig production requires from manufacturer, to produce a large number of fattening pigs per sow per year, with most rational business, smaller losses in all production stages, greater growth and achievement the desired final weight in the shortest possible time. To make production economically viable in the conditions present on most domestic commercial pig farms with regard to the accommodation and environmental conditions, the present technology and health status is important to allow such animal nutrition that will satisfy the nutritional and health requirements and allow the animals adequately respond to the physiological burdensome conditions of intensive production in the body and exert maximum existing genetic potential in farm conditions. In our study conducted on a large commercial farm, inclusion hepatoprotective preparation based on flavonoids from plant extracts and phosphoryl choline chloride as an feed additives several significant improvements in production are realized: reducing mortality, increased weight gain in fattening the higher meat yield in a shorter time and to improve health status of fattening pigs confirmed through lower losses (deaths and forced to slaughter. In the study followed the production parameters, metabolic profiles of the test animals, the clinical observation of internal organs on the slaughter and histopathological examination of a sample of 90 fattening pigs. Based on these results we consider that the introduction of hepatoprotective preparation as a supplement in animal feed is fully justified and that further research in this direction can bring great benefits to domestic producers of pigs.
