Assessment of the effect of mineral deficiency in the diet of animals

Abstract

In this article, the content of micro- macroelements in dry and juicy feeds is studied to increase the productivity of animals and it is essential to take measures to prevent diseases caused by a deficiency of macro-microelements in the diet of animals. To increase productivity, it is essential to prevent diseases caused by a deficiency of minerals in the diet of animals. In Yakutia, where cattle breeding and horse breeding are engaged, animal diseases associated with impaired metabolic processes in the body are widespread. Macro-microelements, which are important for the animal body, must be in the necessary quantities and constantly. In the body, they are involved in the formation of biologically highly active substances, such as hormones, vitamins and enzymes. With a lack or excess of these trace elements in the soil, feed, water, specific metabolic diseases arise and develop in animals, leading to a decrease in productivity, reproduction and even death. The most common is endemic goiter caused by a lack of iodine, white muscle disease caused by a lack of selenium, anemia caused by a lack of iron, etc. Therefore, the authors of the article consider the deficiency of minerals, macro- and microelements in the diet of animals to be one of the most acute problems in modern animal husbandry in Yakutia.
