Abstract

A study of the effectiveness of using the natural growth stimulator "Imunochasnyk" on the growth and development of broiler chickens was conducted. For conducting research, 4 groups of broiler chickens of 100 1-day-old heads were formed according to the principle of analogues.

The control group was fed standard full-rational compound feed. Throughout the experiment, all groups received a standard basic diet according (to the recipe "Cremix" by LLC). The first, control group, of chickens received a standard basic diet without the addition of any additives. The second experimental group of chickens received the natural growth stimulator "Imunochasnyk" in the amount of 500 g/t of compound feed. The third experimental group received the natural growth stimulator "Imunochasnyk" in the amount of 1000 g/t of feed, the fourth experimental group received a commercial phytogenic analogue in the amount of 150 g/t of compound feed (according to the manufacturer's instructions for use). Supplements were fed to birds from one day to 42 days of age. In the process of the experiment, the general condition, preservation of the bird and zootechnical indicators were monitored. It was established that the researched natural growth stimulator "Imunochasnyk" has a positive effect on the productivity of broiler chickens and improvesfeed assimilation. As a result of the use of the "Imunochasnyk" feed additive, the live weight of broiler chickens in the experimental groups was 5.1-6.5% higher compared to control birds. The use of the natural growth stimulator "Imunochasnyk" in the amount of 500 g/ton as part of complete feed guaranteed an increase in average daily gains by 6.8%, the addition of "Imunochasnyk" in the amount of 1000 g/ton of compound feed – 5.3% compared to the control, without adding feed additive. The use of a feed additive contributed to the improvement of feed conversion, and the level of protein in poultry meat increased.
