Influence of fat-containing feed components subjected to ultrasonic treatment in combination with zeolite on broilers’ body

Abstract

Based on the study on morphological and biochemical parameters of blood, it can be stated that the introduction of cavitation-treated sunflower sludge into the diet of the experimental bird together with zeolite powder results in the basic blood parameters improvement. All biochemical and morphological parameters were within the physiological norm. The results obtained indicated that the cavitation treatment of sunflower sludge together with particles of zeolite being part of the feed mixture with an additional increase in the level of exchange energy led to an increase in the content of macro- and microelements against the background of a significant decrease in antagonist elements. The greatest changes were observed in the 2nd experimental group subjected to the diet with an exchange energy content of 14.9 MJ/kg DM (6% of processed sludge by cavitation with 4% zeolite).
