Productive and quality indicators of broiler chickens when introduced to the diets milk whey

Abstract

   Research results have shown that the use of whey SGOL-1-40 in the diets of broiler chickens leads to improved growth and development of poultry. In particular, an increase in body weight of 5–7 %, improved digestion and absorption of nutrients, as well as increased immunity and a decrease in poultry morbidity were noted. Feeding of this additive also affected the productive indicators of poultry: an increase in live weight, which was higher during all periods of growing (significantly at P ≤ 0.99) in relation to the control group, indicators of absolute and average daily gain; safety of livestock (increased by 2 %), reducing feed costs (in the 2nd group compared to the 1st by 4.2 %). The use of whey SGOL-1-40 in diets for raising broiler chickens has reduced the cost of feeding poultry, since the additive contains many nutrients that make it possible to reduce the amount of other feed additives. Feeding SGOL-1-40 led to an improvement in the quality indicators of meat products, since the intensity of metabolic processes in the body directly depends on the feed factor, which is confirmed by the reliable superiority of the experimental group in the slaughter yield of gutted carcasses and the weight of edible parts. In turn, this made it possible to increase the level of profitability of meat production in the conditions of industrial poultry farming.
