Abstract

The purpose of research is to – systematize factors that affect the quality of poultry products. Research methods. The systematization of factors that affect the quality of poultry production was carried out on the basis of processing the results of many years of research in the field according to the data of scientific reports. During the systematization, the main factors affecting the quality of poultry products were taken into account: animal hygiene, feed, water, air, veterinary measures. Research results. In the process of producing high-quality poultry products, the leading role belongs to zoohygiene, which combines the following components: bird health, conditions of keeping and care, sanitary conditions in the poultry house. When keeping a bird, it is necessary to create favorable conditions close to natural for its protection and preservation. The use of fodder containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs), meat and bone meal, growth stimulants, and synthetic amino acids is not allowed for feeding poultry. Water quality has a significant impact on the technological properties of poultry products. Indicators that characterize the air quality in the poultry house should be within limits that do not have a negative effect on the bird. Washing, disinfection of equipment, including incubators, deratization and disinsection on poultry farms are important measures for obtaining high-quality poultry products. One of the technologically determined factors that affects the conditions of keeping poultry, indirectly and the quality of poultry products, is the possibility of waterfowl access to water (river, pond, etc.). Conclusions. During the research, we first systematized the factors that affect the quality of poultry products. In the process of systematization of factors that have a direct impact on the quality of poultry production, individual main components of the developed system were singled out, namely: animal hygiene, feed, water, air, zoo-veterinary measures, the combination of which gives the system special properties. In general, the developed system consists of 39 factors that have an impact on the quality of poultry products. Keywords: geese, turkeys, ducks, chickens, poultry farming, poultry farms, systematization of factors, technological areas, keeping conditions, product quality.
