Influence of complex use of probiotics with “protected” form of choline on milk productivity of dorper meat sheep

It was established that the complex use of probiotics with a “protected” form of choline in the diet of dorper meat breed ewes contributed to an increase in the mass fraction of fat in milk by 19.8% (p≤0.05) and dry matter by 7.02% (P≤0.01), a decrease in the level of ketone bodies by 25.9%, which indicates the expediency of using a complex feed additive in the diets of sheep of the Dorper meat breed.
