Abstract

To reduce the risk of aflatoxicosis, antioxidants have proven to be effective feed additives in combination with adsorbents as excellent inhibitors of intoxication processes in the poultry body. The study purpose was to determine the effect of Tox-O adsorbent in combination with Oxy-Nil antioxidant drug on the broiler meat production and quality and reduce the risk of aflatoxicosis. It was demonstrated that to optimize meat production in the diets of farmed poultry with a tolerant amount of B1 aflatoxin, it is necessary to introduce Oxy-Nil antioxidant in the amount of 600 g/t and Tox-O adsorbent in the amount of 750 g/t of feed. Due to synergistic effect of these drugs, the nutritional value of poultry meat was optimized, which was expressed in control group comparison in the enrichment of pectoral muscle samples with dry matter and protein. When feeding tested drugs in pectoral muscle samples of chickens of experimental group III, the value of meat biological usefulness was improved.

Highlights

  • In modern years, one of the most acute problems considered by specialists in the field of feed production is a high level of compound feed quality during storage

  • To comply with the tolerant dosage of B1 aflatoxin - 0.25 mg/kg [12], these ingredients, contaminated with the Aspergillus fungus were mixed with other safe components of poultry compound feeds using standard dispensers

  • It was determined that due to the better mycotoxin elimination when feeding in the composition of compound feed instead of an adsorbent and an antioxidant, broilers of experimental group III surpassed their alternatives in the control group by 3.0% in terms of livability

Summary

Introduction

One of the most acute problems considered by specialists in the field of feed production is a high level of compound feed quality during storage These ingredients, used in poultry feed formulation, first of all, become contaminated with molds. During long-term storage in violation of the requirements and operating mode of storage facilities, there is already a process of “secondary contamination of grain components with mycotoxins, which most often prevails over primary mold contamination in the field. First of all, it resulted in excessive contamination of poultry feed ingredients with mold poisons myctoxins. B1 aflatoxin, a producer of Aspergillus fungi, poses a particular danger to the poultry organism and its products [4, 5, 6]
