Abstract. In feeding calves of the dairy period, much attention is paid to the use of probiotic supplements and preparations that are antagonists of conditional and conditionally pathogenic microflora of the gastrointestinal tract. These feed additives are able to stimulate the activity of digestive enzymes and can release natural antibiotics to suppress infections. Studies were conducted in the Republic of Bashkortostan to study the effect of different doses of complex feed additive Kormozim-P on the microbiome of the gastrointestinal tract. We formed 4 groups of Holstein calves, which were fed this probiotic in the amount of 6, 9 and 12 g/head, respectively. The calves of the control group received the main diet, without the inclusion of the studied probiotic. It was established that the use of the enzyme-probiotic premix Kormozim-P based on the microorganisms Lactobacillus acidophilus, Streptococcus faecium, Propionibacterium shermanii, Azotobacter vinelandii improved the intestinal microbiome, which in a certain way was reflected in the blood test of dairy calves. The inclusion of feed additive Kormozim-P in the diet of calves contributed to an increase in the number of lactobacilli from 6.44 million CFU/g to 8.22 million CFU/g. At the same time, there is an increase in bifidobacteria from 7.22 million CFU/g to 9.62 million CFU/g. Along with this, there is a decrease in the concentration of E. coli from 6.22 million CFU/g to 3.92 million CFU/g in comparison with animals that did not consume the probiotic. Probably, the improvement in digestion because of the use of probiotic microorganisms leads to an increase in hemoglobin from 96.6 g/l to 114 g/l. The indicators of absolute and relative growth of live weight exceeded the control by 14.8%, while the safety of calves in all groups was 100%. The cost of feed for the gain of 1 kg of live weight in calves of the experimental groups was 9.0% less compared to the control. The optimal dose of Kormozim-P was established - 9 g/head.
