Dynamics of the total proteolitic activity in different locations of the digestive tract in ostriches under humilid action
Journal Title: Біологія тварин - Year 2014, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
It is known about the successful outcome of the use of humic biologically active substances as adaptogens of growth and development regulators and immunomodulators on different animals, including different ontogenesis phases. Information on the use of these substances in the early ontogenesis in ostriches is almost unavailable in the literature. The aim of our work was to investigate the activity of proteolytic enzymes in different locations of the gastrointestinal channel in ostriches at age from 3 to 60 days, a period which is called as “critical” when exposed the “Humilid” biologically active feed additive. Research has beenconducted under the conditions leading economy of Ukraine in the field of ostrich PJSC “Agro-Soyuz” and Problem Laboratory for humic substances to them Khristeva L. A. Dnepropetrovsk State Agrarian University of Economics. Total proteolytic activity was determined using a modification of Erlanger Shaternikova measured in micromoles/ml×min. It has been found that the presence in the diet promotes “Humilid” proteolytic enzymes activity in various locations of the gastrointestinal channel ostriches, shorten the time of formation of the gastrointestinal channel up to 30 days and increase the interest of the large intestine (the blind processes) in the digestive process. The high level of activity of the proteolytic enzymes ostriches can be considered an adaptive physiological mechanism, the operation of which is aimed at a more complete breakdown of proteins and supramolecular protein aggregates, which are the final products (amino acids) are used intensively growing organism.
