Use of Concentrated, Unhydrolyzed Feed Protein Granules for Reared Piglets

sucking pigs, weaned pigs, production performance, meat quality, economic efficiency, concentrated unhydrolyzed feed protein granulesThe efficiency of concentrated, unhydrolyzed feed protein granules included in the diets for suck-ing and weaned pigs has been studied. The granule's effects on the dynamics of production performance and roduct quality are analyzed. The concentrated, unhydrolyzed feed protein granules represent a soy protein concentrate of a new type, which is free of antibiotics, hormones, and genetically modified organisms. This additive may be included in the basal diet either separately or in a feed mixture as a source of an easily digestible protein with an original amino acid composition. The survey results have proven that the dietary granules contribute to increasing the average daily liveweight gain in piglets by 2.0–2.7%, reducing the feed costs per kg of liveweight gain by 2.2–6.6%, and producing additional total liveweight gain from 8.2 to 14.6%

Clinicostatistical approaches studying the quality of life in patients with neurotic and somatoform disorders in rural and urban areas

The article presents the clinical- differentiated criteria for selection of patients with borderline mental disorders related to the diagnostic category of ICD-10 F4 «Neurotic and somatoform disorders» for targeted comprehensive study of the quality of their lives based on nosology. Statistically represented diagnostic group in an amount of 402 's of patients in both absolute and percentages with regard to their place of residence and sex : rural - 143 (35,6%), including 43 men (30,1%), 100 women (69,9%), urban patients - 259 (64,4%), including men - 71 (27,4%), women - 188 (72,6%). Presented sample of patients with borderline mental disorders will be subject to the system analysis to identify demographic and health, socio-economic, professional production, and other factors that adversely affect the quality of life, with the development of recommendations to address them
