Abstract

This article presents the results of scientific research conducted to study the influence of the temperament of Kazakh white-headed bulls on feed consumption and feed conversion ratio.

The temperament of domestic animals is of great interest in scientific circles around the world. The world's leading scientists are engaged in research in this field, so the study of temperament and its influence on various indicators is relevant all over the world.

The consumption of dry matter from the most calm bulls to aggressive ones ranged from 5.33± 0.19 to 5.66± 0.21 kg. The consumption of dry matter of the most calm bulls (temperament 1) was at the level of 5.33±0.19 kg, which is 1.9% and 6.2% less compared to bulls with temperaments 2 and 4.

The conversion ratio of the feed of bulls with temperament 1 was 0.276±0.017, which is 13.41% more compared to bulls with temperament 4, in which this indicator is 0.227 ±0.04. The conversion ratio of bulls with moderate (temperament 2) temperament was 0.248± 0.014, and in excited bulls (temperament 3) this indicator was it is equal to 0.239±0.03.

Calm bulls with temperament 1 have the lowest feed conversion coefficient, and bulls with temperament 4 (aggressive) have the highest. For the former, this indicator is 4,259 ± 0.24, and for the latter 5,734 ± 0.29, the difference between them is 25.73% in favor of the latter. The conversion coefficient of bulls with temperament 2 was 4,536± 0.19, and in bulls with temperament 3 – 5,537± 0.36.
