The scientific-production experiment was performed on the basis of the Collective Farm “Iskra” of the Kuzhenersky district of the Republic of Mari El, where two groups of calves of black-motley breed at the age of 2 days were chosen by analogy. Each group included five animals with symptoms of disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. Calves of the experimental group individually with colostrum received polisorbin at 100 mg/kg of body weight 2 times a day. The calves of the control group did not receive sorbents. Treatment of this group of calves was performed with enrofloksotsin drug at 2,5 mg/kg of body weight once a day. Duration of the experiment was 10 days. Before starting the experiment study on the content of feed microscopic fungi and mycotoxins was carried out. Infectious diseases were excluded.
