Abstract

The use of sprouted barley grain for an adult poultry of a parent flock of meat production is of scientific and practical interest. According to the research methodology, we formed 4 groups of experimental birds, at the age of 140 days, 10 chickens and 10 cockerels in each. The test period lasted 280 days. The poultry of the control group received a standard complete feed containing barley grains in an amount of 20% by weight of the compound feed, in accordance with the adopted feeding scheme. Poultry of groups 2,3,4 received in addition to the main diet sprouted barley grain in the amount of 20 g per head. In this experiment, the question of the effectiveness of using sprouted grain, depending on the feeding regime, was considered. A positive trend was revealed when feeding sprouted grain in addition to a complete feed, in the evening.

Highlights

  • The industrial poultry industry differs from other livestock industries in its rapid reproduction rates and lower financial costs per unit of production

  • The efficiency of industrial poultry farming depends on what crosses are used at a given breeding enterprise, their genetic potential

  • Leading foreign breeding companies used highly productive poultry, there is an accumulation of genetic potential

Summary

Introduction

The industrial poultry industry differs from other livestock industries in its rapid reproduction rates and lower financial costs per unit of production. Further development of the industry will largely be determined by the level of breeding work, the introduction of new breeding achievements, the improvement of crosses in increasing their egg and meat productivity, as well as an increase in the safety of poultry and, at the same time, reducing the cost of growing. Sprouted oat grains are added to the general feeding on the farm It is a food with a reduced protein and calcium content, which helps males to be active and healthy, and helps to increase the fertility of hatching eggs. Dietary fibers, which are part of the germinated grains, cleanse the body of harmful elements, thereby lowering blood sugar levels
