Abstract

The incorporation of probiotics into animal husbandry practices can significantly enhance feed efficiency by optimizing the composition of the animals’ microflora. This strategy offers substantial economic benefits to livestock producers. By improving digestion and nutrient absorption, probiotics enable animals to extract more energy from the feed they consume, ultimately reducing feed costs. Additionally, the improved health status of animals resulting from probiotic supplementation leads to lower veterinary expenses and reduced need for therapeutic interventions. To evaluate the effects of the probiotic feed additive “Enzimsporin” on productivity and physiological parameters in cows, a scientific and economic study was conducted at the “Novgorodsky Bacon” farm enterprise. The results demonstrated a clear positive trend in the key performance indicators associated with the use of “Enzimsporin.” Specifically, cows in the experimental group receiving the probiotic supplement exhibited higher total milk yields compared to those on a conventional diet. Furthermore, the average daily milk yield in the experimental group was significantly greater than in the control group, a difference that was statistically validated. Notably, the somatic cell count in the milk of cows from the experimental group was lower than that observed in the control group.
