Morphology of the digestive canal of broilers under the influence of Reasil® Humic Health

Abstract

The introduction of new technologies for keeping and feeding poultry, shortening the growing time of modern poultry crosses, often lead to various stress conditions, which makes them highly sensitive to diseases of various etiologies, due to an insufficiently formed immune system. In most cases, this manifests itself in the form of gastrointestinal diseases and, as a result, an increase in poultry mortality. Currently, this problem is being solved by introducing feed additives into diets that contribute to increasing natural resistance and positively affect metabolic processes in general. One of these is the feed additive Reasil® Humic Health, which improves the condition of the digestive tract, which directly affects the acceleration of growth and development of the body, an increase in average daily weight gain, and obtaining safe meat products from broilers.The object of the study was a control and experimental group of 21-day-old Cobb-500 cross broilers, with 18,000 heads each. The broilers of the control group received the basic diet. In addition, Reasil® Humic Health feed additive at a dose of 2 g/ kg of feed was included in the main diet of the poultry of the experimental group. The selection of poultry for control slaughter at the ages of 22, 36 and 41 days, 60 individuals from each group, was carried out by random sampling. Thus, it can be concluded that Reasil® Human Health had a positive effect on the dynamics of weight and organometric parameters in broilers of the experimental group: the mass of the muscular stomach - by 11.4%, intestines - by 12% and liver - by 8% was higher compared with intact poultry.
