Abstract
The article analyses the issues of balanced feeding of broiler chickens and their balanced diet. The results of studies aimed to determine the effect of mixed feeds on the productivity of Arbor Acres cross broiler chickens and the economic efficiency of poultry meat production companies are presented. It was found that broilers from the experimental group, who were fed with improved compound feed with additional sources of proteins and carbohydrates and feed additives exceeded broilers from the control group by their live weight at all ages. At the slaughter age, the average weight was more than 39.2%. The experimental group consumed 10-15% less feed whose conversion was 2.4 and 1.9 kg in favour of the group feeding with the new compound feed. The new compound feed had a positive effect on the viability of broilers: there were no deaths during the period under study. According to the control slaughter results, it was found that the pre-slaughter live weight was higher by 35% in the experimental group. The weight of edible parts increased by 6%. The improved compound feed can be used both in industrial conditions and by poultry farms.
Highlights
Livestock, being the main branch of the agricultural industry, determines the state of the domestic market, the level of consumption of high-grade food products and food security [1].The volume of production of livestock products, including poultry, should be increased by feeding birds with high-quality feed [2, 3].The high-quality forage base is a prerequisite for the successful development of husbandry
When using mixed feed balanced in all nutrients, the productivity increases by 10-12%, and when using feed enriched with vitamins, microelements and other stimulating substances, it increases by 25-30% [3]
3 Research Questions The study aims to determine the consumption of feed and their impact on the viability of broiler chickens; to establish the effect of compound feed on the dynamics of live weight and meat productivity; to determine the economic efficiency of feeding broiler chickens with mixed feeds
Summary
Livestock, being the main branch of the agricultural industry, determines the state of the domestic market, the level of consumption of high-grade food products and food security [1]. The use of exogenous enzymes is a very important additive for the improvement of feed digestibility They reduce environmental pollution and dietary costs and improve poultry health and manure quality, which in turn have a positive effect on overall production costs. Having almost eliminated the use of expensive animal feed in poultry diets, poultry producers faced the dilemma of replacing animal feed with plant feed rich in proteins and essential amino acids Today this problem is being solved through the increase of the introduction of soybean meal and other soybean derivatives. According to the studies this replacement does not entail negative consequences and has a beneficial effect on the productive qualities of poultry, its safety and revises the prevailing opinion on the rational use of plant feed, as the main components, and as a means of promoting better absorption of nutrient substances by poultry [3]. The use of extracts of a number of plants, organic acids and other additives of natural origin is extremely important
