The object I purposed to myself was to sift from top to bottom nutrition of the dogs and the main problems that are close to it, to describe it and to make inferences about it. To find what harm commercial food does for the organism of the dog. We discussed about the allergies, bad breath, bad teeth, fatty degeneration, digestive troubles and decisions. The operation was made with reference to the results of the blood test, nutriment analysis, questioning data and communication with kennels and veterinarians. We produced detailed information about what nutriment should we feed our dogs and about the after-effects, that will visit if the dog feeding is incorrect. Summarised data is offered in tables and diagrams. We find that dogs, which are feeding by middle and low class commercial dog food, are often suffering by diseases of the digestive tract. 40 percent of dogs fall ill by allergic reactions, till 45 percent appears lesions of the teeth and gum. Dogs, which were fed by home-made food, were more active, the structure of their coat was very good and the colour was bright, digestive tract was food change resistant. Those dogs had stronger immunity. The blood test showed, that dog’s, which were fed by home-made food, cholesterol was less, than dog’s, which ate commercial dog food. So, if we feed our dogs by a commercial food, the probability to display diseases of some organs (as kidney, liver, blood-vessels) and allergy. We recommend feed our dogs by home-made food, or the...

Health and productivity of grown-up animals highly depends on technology of breeding of calf’s. It‘s very important, that calf’s aged 3-4 months shouldn‘t fix diseases of digestive and airways systems. The main aim of this work was to determine influence of composite start feed „Milaflo“ to the intensity of breeding, development of internal organs and wellness of calf’s. Summing-up the result conclusions are provided as follows: organism of heifers develops faster, when during the period of feeding with milk combined start feed was used; composite start feed „Milaflo“ meets all zootechnical requirements and grants intensive growth of calf’s during feeding with natural milk and other crops without any negative reaction to wellness of calf’s; during test period in ŽŪB „ Pauliukai“, daily gain of calf’s which were feeded with „Milaflo“ contained 778,3 g/ per day, while ones feeded with standard composite feed - 713,9 g; during test period in Center of Practical Education of LVA daily gain of control group calf’s contained 708,9 g, heifers, which were feeded with additive „Milaflo“ and powder of conditioned milk – 752,2 g, heifers which were feeded with additive „Milaflo“ and natural milk – 966,7 g; use of composite start feed „Milaflo“ has no negative reaction to morphological composition of blood; highest efficiency of composite start feed concerning the development of great prestomach was noted during week 3 - 4.

Eksperimentas buvo atliktas su 90 mišrūnių kiaulių, suskirstytų į bandomąsias grupes, atsižvelgiant į jų kilmę, lytį ir pradinį kūno svorį. Kiaulės buvo suskirstytos į šešias bandomąsias grupes (15 gyvūnų kiekvienoje grupėje): 1 grupė - gyvūnai šeriami visaverčiais pašarais ir laikomi ganykloje, 2 grupės - gyvūnai šeriami visaverčiais pašarais ir laikomi tvarte, garduose su kraiko pakratais, 3 grupė - gyvūnai šeriami visaverčiais pašarais ir laikomi tvarte, garduose be kraiko pakratų, 4 grupė - gyvuliai šeriami visaverčiais pašarais ir liucernos pašarais, laikomi lauke, grupė 5 - gyvuliai šeriami visaverčiais pašarais ir liucernos pašarais, laikomi tvarte, garduose su kraiko pakratais, 6 grupė - gyvuliai šeriami visaverčiais pašarais ir liucernos pašarais, laikomi tvarte, garduose be kraiko. Tyrimo objektas: penimų kiaulių elgsena atsižvelgiant į šėrimą ir laikymo būdus (tvarte ar vasaros stovyklose) Trimo tikslas: nustatyti laikymo sistemų (tvarte ar vasaros stovyklose) ir šėrimo (pilnavertis pašaras ir/arba papildytas liucernos pašaru) poveikį skirtingais amžiaus laikotarpiais penimų kiaulių elgsenai. Išvados. Analizuojant skirtingus penėjimo laikotarpius, nustatyti kiaulių elgsenos ypatumai ir ryšys su produktyvumu. Pirmoje ir antroje penėjimo fazėje (apie 50 kg ir 100 kg) nustatyti įtakojantys veiksniai produktyvumą susiję su poilsio periodų, judėjimo aktyvumų. Kiaulės augintos be kraiko, daugiau laiko skirdavo poilsiui, buvo mažiau aktyvios, ir agresyvesnės...

The pigs were assigned to six experimental groups (15 animals per group): group 1 – animals fed a complete diet and kept freerange, group 2 – animals fed a complete diet and kept indoors in pens with litter bedding, group 3 - animals fed a complete diet and kept indoors in pens without litter bedding, group 4 – animals fed a complete diet and alfalfa forage, kept free-range, group 5 - animals fed a complete diet and alfalfa forage, kept indoors in pens with litter bedding, group 6 - animals fed a complete diet and alfalfa forage, kept indoors in pens without litter bedding. All management systems were animal welfare-friendly. Both at the first and second stage of fattening (approx. 50 kg and 100 kg BW, respectively), the experimental factors had a significant effect on the majority of behavior patterns in pigs. An increase in rest periods and a reduction in locomotor activity and other types of behavior were observed in older animals.
