Digestibility of nutrients in ram feed when using glauconite

The article presents the results of studying the effect of using the glauconite feed additive of the Bondarsky field of the Tambov region in the diet of lamb feeding on digestibility and the use of nutrients by them. The data obtained in the balance experiment showed that a higher digestibility and nutrient use of the feed was observed in sheep receiving a glauconite supplement. The best indicators of digestibility and nutrient use of the feed were lamb, whose diet included the addition of glauconite in the amount of 100 mg/kg of feed.
