title: [Study of rat behavior in a feeding experiment].
abstract: The examination studied behaviour of rats fed on natritive material containing soil dust or electroenergetic ashes. Food containing the dust or ashes was administered to animals in the amount of 30 g a day for 26 weeks. Body weight was controlled in all animals and their motor activity, motor coordination and cognitive activity were examined. It has been settled that rats fed an food with the soil dust supplement showed higher motor activity and acquired greater motor coordination than animals fed either on food with the electroenergetic ashes supplement or on conventional food. During the first weeks of experiment, cognitive activity was getting lower in animals in both experimental groups and control group, and then only in the group of animals fed on food with the soil dust supplement.
