Abstract
Studies were conducted on two groups of calves during the growing period from 1 to 6 months in conditions of unfavorable respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases. Calves of the experimental group with a diet were given dihydroquercetin and arabinogalactan at a dose of 1 and 75 mg/ kg of live weight / day, respectively. DHQ and AG, in accordance with their biological properties, provided a high level of antioxidant protection, the formation of microbiocenosis and intestinal immunity, correction and control of mineral homeostasis in the body of calves. As a result, there was a normalization and increase in the intensity of protein, nitrogen, lipid, carbohydrate, energy and mineral metabolism, improved the functional state of the liver and increased pathogenetic resistance, which generally had a positive effect on the formation of productive health, viability and resistance of the body to the action of biotic and abiotic environmental factors, safety and average daily growth of calves.
