Quality of broiler chicken meat when applying supplement Mintreks

Abstract

The development of the poultry industry involves the use of feed supplements and biologically active substances. They have various effects on the body of birds: growth and development stimulants, macro- and microelements, enterosorbents, pro- and prebiotics, etc. A greater economic effect is achieved by using complex supplements. However, when using them, their effect on the veterinary and sanitary characteristics of meat is not taken into account. The issue of manufacturability of the resulting product is crucial. Poultry meat, especially white meat, is considered to be rather dry. Therefore, feed supplements retain moisture in meat. The work deals with quality of broiler chicken meat when applying the Mintrex supplement. Mintrex consists of mineral components translated into an easily digestible form. The main ones are Zn – 50 mg/kg, Cu – 10 mg/kg, Mn – 50 mg/kg feed). Mintrex is used to increase meat productivity and fatness of birds. The studies have proved that Mintrex does not change sensory, biochemical parameters, seeding, maturation, and meat preservation during storage, but increases the energy value of meat and its water-holding ability.
