ABSTRACT


The goal of the study was to determine the influence of fish-mineral concentrate (KR-M) addition in the amount of 4 and 8% to fodder during the period of pig fattening on the changes of basic blood parameters. Mean values of hematological parameters such as Ht, Hb and most of the biochemical ones such as: glucose, urea, total cholesterol, lipoprotein fraction cholesterol HDL and LDL, liver enzymes: ALT, AST did not differ significantly within the groups. However, in the group that received 8% KR-M, a significant increase of total protein concentration occurred, while total bilirubin and triglycerides decreased. Ca, Mg, P and Fe concentration as well as total iron bonding capability (TIBC) and latent iron bonding capability (UBIC) were statistically significantly higher in experimental groups in comparison with the control group, which proves better bioassimilation of macroelements and iron. A statistically significant decrease of Cu and Zn concentration was found in experimental groups in comparison with the control group, which might result from sorptive properties of aluminosilicates in KR-M. It suggests the necessity of enriching the mixture with Cu and Zn salts.

Key words: fish oil, finishing pigs, blood, physiological parameters.
