THE INFLUENCE OF THE DISINFECTANT "IODOPOVIDONE" ON THE BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF LAYING HENS

Abstract

The article reflects the results of a scientific and production experiment, the purpose of which was to carry out air sanitation in the presence of laying hens by spraying a hot fog aerosol of the disinfectant "Iodopovidon" produced by LLC "Basalt" (Ukraine), to establish its effect on the body of laying hens, livestock productivity indicators, degree of microbial air pollution in poultry premises. The experiment was carried out in accordance with the requirements of the European Convention for the Protection of Vertebrate Animals Used for Scientific Experiments or for other scientific purposes and the Law of Ukraine "On the Protection of Animals from Cruelty" on the basis of PJSC "Agrofirm Berezan Poultry Farm" during March 2023 using the group-period method, using Laying hens of the Novogen Brown cross. Biochemical studies were carried out at the Vetmedservice clinic, microbiological studies at the Department of Epizootology, Microbiology and Virology of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the National University of Bioresources and Environmental Management of Ukraine. The positive effect of preventive disinfection of a poultry house for keeping laying hens with the drug “Iodopovidone” at a dose of 0.3 ml/m3 of air on poultry population productivity indicators has been established: a decrease in the percentage of deaths of chickens by 0.04%, stabilization of egg production. A decrease in microbial contamination of poultry house air by almost 100 times was revealed after preventive disinfection. On the fourth day after using the drug, stabilization of the biochemical parameters of the blood serum of laying hens was found. Disinfectant "Iodopovidon" is a promising drug for use in poultry farming. Therefore, the prospects for further research consist in the continuation of a series of research and production studies on other types of agricultural poultry, and on meat production chickens.
