Abstract

The ecological and trophic research was carried out at the BilaTserkva national agrarian university to investigate the influence of different iodine sources and doses on the biomass increase of red Californian worms in order to use the worms as feed additive in the ration of farm animals and poultry. It was identified that an efficient iodine source for the vermiculture is iodine adsorbed on the modified saponite.
