Abstract. Feed additives play an important role in pig farming, as they have a positive effect on the economically useful traits of animals: live weight, weight gain, survivability, slaughter yield. The aim of the research was to theoretically and practically substantiate the use of natural sorbents in combination with a probiotic in feeding weaned piglets. The objects of the research were weaned piglets, the growing period was from 2 months to 4 months. Three groups of 25 heads each were formed: the control group received the main diet of the farm, the first experimental group received the main diet of the farm, bentonite clay in the amount of 3% of the feed weight and Sporotermin probiotic in the amount of 0.1% of the feed weight, the second experimental group received the main diet of the farm, AUFA (active carbon feed additive) in the amount of 400 g / t per 1 head and Sporotermin probiotic. When the age of piglets reached 4 months, the live weight of piglets in the experimental groups increased by 6.2% and 6.9% relative to the control group. The use of a complex feed additive consisting of a probiotic and a sorbent in feeding weaned piglets has a positive effect on the nitrogen balance. The research results confirm the positive effect of feed additives in the form of Sporotermin and the sorbent AUFA in feeding weaned piglets, which is justified by an increase in live weight, improved digestion processes and an increase in slaughter yield. Based on the results, it is possible to recommend the combined use of the feed additive AUFA and Sporotermin in feeding farm animals, in particular weaned piglets.
