Description

It is known that as a result of various metabolic disturbances, calving of cows on farms takes place with various deviations. A lack of calcium in the blood due to disturbances in hormonal activity (parathyroid hormone) leads to hypocalcemia and paresis after calving, which is often the cause of animal death. The most dangerous is the negative energy balance in the cow, which is expressed in the lack of synthesis of glucose in the blood, leading to ketosis, hepatosis and culling of animals. In Russia, due to various violations in the post-hotel period in 2005, 700,000 cows were slaughtered (according to official figures). After calving, the cow cannot get up - it “stays up”, it has muscle weakness, it loses weight and has poor appetite, i.e. after calving during the most difficult period of life, emergency assistance is necessary for the cow. Abroad, there are a number of additives - dry correctors, whose action is slow. In this regard, the best choice is a set of regulators that are soluble in water. Water is rapidly absorbed and regulatory components that actively affect various aspects of metabolism enter the bloodstream. The cow quickly regains strength, begins to eat, and at the same time, good milk productivity is achieved.

The German company Miavit proposed water for cows (Appendix 1) of the following composition per 1 liter:

- vitamin E - 2.3 g;

- propylene glycol (1,2-propanediol) - 196 g;

- propionate - 190 g;

- niacin - 14 g;

- zinc (Zn) - 920 mg;

- Manganese (Mn) - 920 mg;

- calcium - 5.1%;

- soda - 0.5%.

This water really contains in its composition two so-called “Glucoplast”, i.e. compounds capable of activating the formation of glucose in the blood are propylene glycol and calcium propionate. In addition, water contains several trace elements and niacin, which do not have a quick recovery effect. Calcium propionate has a pronounced smell of vinegar, and when testing the water, we found that cows do not want to drink water, turn away. The recovery effect is extremely slow, and in some cases absent.

We proposed another version of the water formulation, in which glycerin is introduced instead of propionate, which has a good effect and a pleasant taste. In addition, calcium is included in the water in an easily digestible form in the form of calcium lactate. To remove metabolic disorders, amino acids were introduced - lysine and methionine, and in this case, using nanotechnology, these amino acids are made in liposomal form, i.e. in water, they are in the form of liposomes - the smallest particles that ensure the rapid entry of amino acids into the blood and cellular tissue. The composition of water also includes the necessary vitamin B ₁₂ and an antioxidant - extract of grape skin (or seed).

The following water composition (per 1 liter) is offered:

- lysine - 15-20 g;

- methionine - 10-15 g;

succinic acid - 2.5 g;

- propylene glycol - 100 g;

- glycerin - 60 g;

- vitamin B ₂ - 5 mg;

- niacin - 4 g;

- vitamin B ₁₂ - 5 mg;

- calcium lactate - 50 g;

grape skin extract - 500 mg.

Water is given to cows immediately after calving in an amount of 1 l / day for 5-7 days. It is important that the indications for the use of water are significantly expanded. It is also given in cases:

- immediately after calving for the prevention of "bedding";

- in the presence of signs of acidosis and ketosis;

- with an unexpected decrease in milk productivity;

- with an obvious calcium deficiency for the prevention of paresis;

- in cases of difficult milking;

- to accelerate the departure of the afterbirth.

The composition of Phoenix drinking water we created for cows after calving was tested in a number of farms in the Leningrad Region with a positive result. The following are examples of the proposed method.

Example 1

CJSC PZ "Krasnoarmeysky" of the Leningrad region.

Five cows of different ages were taken immediately after calving. Phoenix water was given in an amount of 1 liter for 5 days. The composition of the water was as follows:

- lysine - 15 g;

- methionine - 10 g;

succinic acid - 2.5 g;

- propylene glycol - 100 g;

- glycerin - 60 g;

- vitamin B ₂ - 5 mg;

- niacin - 4 g;

- vitamin B ₁₂ - 5 mg;

- calcium lactate - 50 g;

- grape skin extract - 500 mg.

As a control, 5 cows of a similar age were taken, who were given ordinary tap water. The test results are summarized in table 1.

Table 1 The effect of Phoenix water on the state of cows after calving. No. p / p Meal start time Afterbirth departure (hours) Paresis Milk yield on the 30th day, l / day Experience one four 7 - 24 2 6 9 - 28 3 5 8 - 21 four 7 10 + 35 5 3 12 - 37 The control one 6 eighteen + 22 2 8 26 - eighteen 3 10 31 - 24 four fourteen fifteen + 29th 5 8 21 - 31

From the data of table 1 it can be seen that, under experimental conditions, cows after calving begin to eat food faster, do not “lie down”, the afterbirths leave faster, later in milk production an increase in milk yield compared to the control was observed. The observed result is associated with the antioxidant activity of water and the available form of calcium.

Example 2

CJSC Razdolye, Leningrad Region. The tests were carried out during the milking season in cows with a "difficult" milking. Five cows were taken in the experiment, in which the milk level was measured per day before the introduction of water and 10 days after the introduction. The composition of the water was as follows:

- lysine - 17 g;

- methionine - 12 g;

succinic acid - 2.5 g;

- propylene glycol - 100 g;

- glycerin - 60 g;

- vitamin B ₂ - 5 mg;

- niacin - 4 g;

- vitamin B ₁₂ - 5 mg;

- calcium lactate - 50 g;

- grape skin extract - 500 mg.

The test results are summarized in table 2.

table 2 The effect of Phoenix water on cow milking. No. p / p Milk yield, l / day. Before the introduction of water one eighteen 2 21 3 17 four fifteen 5 22 10 days after the introduction of water one 22 2 25 3 21 four 19 5 27

From table 2 it can be seen that after drinking the proposed water, the cow’s milking rate normalizes. This effect is achieved by using the complex and "glucoplasts", namely propylene glycol, glycerin, succinic acid, methionine.

As can be seen from table 2, the proposed water acts as a metabolic corrector in cows with metabolic disorders, and normalizes the process of milk formation. The introduction of riboflavin in combination with succinic acid and vitamin B ₁₂ in the water formulation leads to the prevention of metabolic disorders, normalizes the energy metabolism of animals.

Example 3

CJSC Opole of the Leningrad Region. Elimination of acidosis phenomena in cows using Phoenix water. Cows acidosis was determined by periodically measuring urine pH. Five heifers of a random age with obvious manifestations of acidosis (urine pH 5.5-6.0) were taken in the experiment. Water of the following composition was used:

- lysine - 20 g;

- methionine - 15 g;

succinic acid - 2.5 g;

- propylene glycol - 100 g;

- glycerin - 60 g;

- vitamin B ₂ - 5 mg;

- niacin - 4 g;

- vitamin B ₁₂ - 5 mg;

- calcium lactate - 50 g;

- grape skin extract - 500 mg.

The test results are summarized in table 3.

Table 3 The effect of Phoenix water on cows with acidosis. No. p / p Urine pH Before the introduction of water one 5.7 2 5.9 3 5.5 four 5.3 5 6.1 5 days after the introduction of water one 6.4 2 6.7 3 6.5 four 6.6 5 6.3

As can be seen from the experimental data, with the introduction of Phoenix water for 5 days in heifers, as a result of removing the negative energy balance, urine pH normalizes, which indicates the elimination of acidosis.
