The purpose of the conducted scientific study was the introduction of biohacking elements in combination with the
use of coniferous energy biologically active additive (CEA) and their effect on the basic physiological and biological
indices of down-calving and lactating cows in the conditions of extremely high summer air temperature of the
Krasnodar Territory and increased stress, and the determination of a standard for feeding the additive. The approach
was based on methods of determining physiological and biological indicators of animals by using elements of
biohacking, i.e., by adjusting the conditions for housing and feeding lactating cows in conjunction with periodic
monitoring of their bodies condition under elevated levels of stress. The study has found that the introduction of
biohacking elements in combination with the use of coniferous energy feed additive based on natural components
efficiently enhances productivity of animals as a result of weakening the action of various stress factors, improves the
quality of milk received, shortens the duration of the service period, improves the clinical measures of animals, and
increases the profitability of milk production. The most effective dosage of the CEA studied under intensive stress
factors influence is 300 g per animal to be taken 15 days before and 30 days after calving. Based on the results of the
scientific expertise, it can be argued that the introduction of biohacking into animal husbandry would eventually be
relevant intervention, as it contributes to improving the animal nursing, economic and environmental situation, and
will improve the quality of finished products while reducing their cost. For the first time elements of biohacking were
used in animal husbandry.
