WHAT IS USEFUL TO KNOW ABOUT THE USE OF ORGANIC ACIDS IN FEED AND WATER FOR POULTRY

Abstract

The ban on the use of antibiotic stimulators of poultry productivity, as well as the growing awareness of consumers in the field of food safety and poultry health, were an incentive for the introduction of alternative concepts for maintaining the health of the gastrointestinal tract, on the condition of which 70% of feed costs in the structure of the cost of production depend. We have summarized the results of our own research on the use of acidifiers through feed and water. It is shown that in order to select an effective dose of the drug, it is necessary to determine the acid-binding properties of the components (KSS), which differ significantly and if this is not taken into account, then adding an acidifier to compound feeds with low KSS can cause cloacitis. At the same time, on compound feeds with high KSS, the addition of an acidifier contributed to a decrease in the indicator by 20-36%, which led to an improvement in the microbiological balance in the gastrointestinal tract, an increase in the digestibility of protein, fat, fiber by 3.1; 2.1 and 4.9%, respectively. The use of nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus increased by 5.6; 4.1; 4.9%, and the productivity of broilers by 3.1% while reducing feed costs per unit of production by 4.21 and 7.38%, respectively, in physical and monetary terms. When using organic acids (KisOrg) through water (300 ml/t to pH-4.5) five times for three days in a row during the period of rearing repair young, the live weight of chickens and roosters increased by 1.92% and 2.6%, the uniformity by weight increased by 5.6% and 7.3%, respectively. The same mixture of acids, when applied three times through water in an amount of 350ml / t (pH 4.0) when growing broilers, contributed to an increase in live weight by 3.1% while reducing feed costs by 4.5%.
