The use of non-traditional feed, different formulations of premixes and PVMC in the production of broiler meat

Abstract

In the feeding of poultry, the search for new alternative feed sources and additives is promising. Such non-traditional feed sources are processed products from mustard and pumpkin seed oil. The purpose of the work was to study the use of non-traditional feeds, diff erent formulations of premixes and PVMC in the production of broiler meat. The studies were carried out on poultry crosses Kobb 500, HUBBARD ISA and Ross 308 under the conditions of the laboratory and clinical complex of the Volgograd State Agrarian University and poultry farms in the Volgograd region. (“Kumylzhenskaya”, AO “Poultry Farm Krasnodonskaya”). The introduction of Sarepta concentrate into the formula of compound feed for broiler chickens had a positive eff ect on the metabolic processes occurring in their body, as well as the positive eff ect on the growth of poultry and reduced feed intake. The use of Gorlinka concentrate instead of sunfl ower presscake in the intake of compound feed for broiler chickens led to the increase in the live weight of poultry and a signifi cant reduction in feed expenditures per 1 kg of live weight gain. The introduction of pumpkin seed presscake instead of sunfl ower in the feeding of broiler chickens contributed to the increase in the nutritional value of meat and improved taste qualities. The introduction of 1,5 %, 3,0 and 3,5 % of VolgaVit premixes into the broiler diet had the positive impact on the growth indicators and the quality of the resulting meat, which in turn aff ected economic effi ciency. The best result was shown by the 2nd experimental group of broilers, in which 3,0 % of the VolgaVit premix was introduced into the feed recipe. Studies on the use of non-traditional feed and diff erent formulations of premixes in the production of broiler meat have shown their positive eff ect on the growth rate of poultry of various crosses of poultry and meat quality indicators, which was also confi rmed by calculations of economic effi ciency and the results of production check.
