The synthesis methods are shown and Mn, Zn and Cr cluster chelate compounds are synthesized on the basis of metal acetates and concentrate DAS (Ds) of vegetable origin. Different number of metals is bonded to each other in the synthesized compounds depending on synthesis conditions. The individuality of synthesized compounds is studied using trace element analysis and X-Ray radiography methods, as well as through melting temperature determination. Qualitative solubility of compounds in different solvents is defined. An experiment on earthworms was carried out in order to determine biological activity of synthesized cluster chelates. For this purpose three doses (maximum, minimum and normal) of mixtures of Mn, Zn and Cr compounds were prepared and their impact on earthworms’ protein mass and degree of cocoon reproduction was studied. Effective and optimum doses of chelate compounds were established. Based on the results of conducted experiments it may be said that maximum mass change (115.66%) takes place in that test group, to which a minimum dose of chelate mixtures is added, while the degree of cocoon propagation reaches the maximum value (576.32%) in that test group, to which a normal dose of chelate mixtures is added. Thus, on the basis of carried out researches a conclusion is drawn that a balancing of earthworm substrate with different doses of Mn, Zn and Cr compound mixtures has a positive impact on both earthworm’s protein mass gain and on the substantial increase of degree of cocoon reproduction, and 0.38g per 200 g of substrate is the optimum effective dose for cluster chelate mixtures. For the same chelate mixtures of Mn, Zn and Cr the preliminary check-up tests were conducted on broiler chickens. Based on analysis of obtained results (7.5% weight gain in the test group during upbringing period, and survival is 3.3% higher compared to control group) we deem reasonable to carry out experiments on a wider scale for determination of effective and optimum doses of chelate mixtures.
