This article updates the need to develop domestic feed additives for organic products, without antibiotics and hormones in fattening cattle. Humic acids supplied to the animals' bodies with pasture grasses, feed, and natural or special feed additives, are included in metabolic processes, completely metabolized in the cell, which serves as the basis for using domestic potassium humate from brown coal as main component of feed additive. The aim is to make feed additive based on raw materials for organic beef cattle products for metabolism, health, performance.
Here biological, biotechnological, microbiological, mycological, and statistical research methods were used. Surface analysis, pH, microbiological purity, harmlessness, toxicity, pyrogenicity, allergenicity, shelf life determination storage conditions finished feed additives implemented following Kazakhstan State Pharmacopoeia, 2008.
Following feed additive components were selected: various types potassium humate, UMBC, yeast, probiotic bacilli, black soldier fly larvae. 5 feed additive recipes used wheat, oats, barley and their mixtures. Organoleptic analysis and quality control of the feed additive were done. The feed additive is made based on domestic potassium humate, has stable properties, is non-toxic and safe for animals, is microbiologically pure, and has the effect of increasing the body weight of laboratory animals in comparison with the basic preparation of potassium humate by 2.3-3.0 g.
The feed additive complies with European Council Requirements No. 767/2009 dated 13 July 20
