The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of chicoric acid on growth parameters, biochemical status of blood serum and antioxidant capacity of calves. For the experiment, 16 healthy animals with a live weight of 160–170 kg were selected, which were divided into 2 groups of 8 heads each. The control group of animals received the basic diet adopted on the farm, and the experimental group – the basic diet adopted on the farm and 0.15 kg/day of chicoric acid. During 60 days of the experiment, blood was collected on the 1st and 15th day, on the 30th day, and finally on the 45th and 60th days. The results showed that on the 1st day of the experiment, the content of urea nitrogen in the blood serum of the experimental group was significantly lower than in the control. On the 30th day and on the 60th day of the experiment, the glucose content in the blood serum of the experimental group of animals was significantly higher than in the control. According to the results of the conducted studies, it can be noted that the addition of chicoric acid to the main diet can effectively alleviate the condition of animals against the background of oxidative stress, as well as improve their antioxidant capacity.
