Abstract
Certain vitamins and minerals have a key role preserving animal health and productivity in livestock animals.
The aim of our experiment was to find out, whether different commercial feed additives, have different effect on sheep reproductive performance during winter mating period.
To be able to define this, we chose the three following parameters to be compared: time distribution of registered mating events during the mating period, overall number of registered mating events, and pregnancy rate.
The research was carried out in a BMC breed herd in Hungary. The ewes participating in the experiment were divided into three groups, with each group having only one ram in it.
In the first group we administered a solution containing ß-carotene and metil-metionin (n=46), in the second group licking bowl containing ß-carotene and minerals (n=43), in the third group licking bucket containing humic-acid (n=48).
Mating events were recorded daily. Ultrasound pregnancy test was carried out 51 days after ram removal from the groups.
There were significant differences in the distribution of the registered mating events (p<0.0001), and in the pregnancy rates too (p<0.01). There was a tendency in the total number of ewes mated between the three groups, but it was not significant (p=0.19).
The results show, that choosing the optimal commercial feed additives can be beneficial to the reproductive performance in sheep herds.
