ABSTRACT: The implementation of the State Program of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) "Development of agriculture and regulation of markets for agricultural products, raw materials and food for 2012-2016" envisages ensuring the growth of livestock quantity and increase in its productivity, which so far is restrained by feed base limitations. The indispensable condition for achieving the desired level of livestock productivity is to develop effective ways to improve the biological value of their nutrition. The goal of the research – to study the effect of feed additives on the growth, development and milk productivity of cattle. Researches on use of feed additives have a positive effect on metabolic processes and helped to improve milk production, wherein the second test group, cows had a 22.2% higher productivity than the productivity in comparison with the control group and 4.7% higher than the first test group. Zeolite-hongurin additive to natural feed of the Kholmogory breed young stock provided the increase in average daily weight gain with the 1.3 g dose for 52.5 g, in comparison with the control group animals.
