Abstract

The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of alternative bedding materials on broiler production performances and litter quality in plant production. A 40-day experiment was carried out on 6885 broilers of ROSS 308 provenience. The broilers were reared on bedding material which consisted of cellulose pellets, wood chips, peat moss, and pH stabilizers. Feeding, zoohygienic and zootechnical measures met technological normative for this provenience. During the experiment, health status and mortality of broilers were observed. Litter pH, moisture, nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus content in litter were determined at the end of experiment. Average live weight of broilers at the end of the trial was 2620 g. Mortality of chickens was 1.52%. The results of the study indicated that use of specified bedding material was beneficial for broilers production parameters. The results of investigation of litter quality indicate that it can provide similar benefits to inorganic fertilizers in terms of plant growth.

泥炭苔垫料对肉鸡生产性能及窝仔肥价值的影响

本试验旨在评价替代垫料对肉鸡生产性能和窝仔质量的影响。对6885只ROSS308种源肉鸡进行了为期40天的试验。肉鸡在由纤维素颗粒、木屑、泥炭苔和pH稳定剂组成的垫层材料上饲养。饲养、动物卫生和动物技术措施符合该地区的技术规范。在试验过程中，观察了肉鸡的健康状况和死亡率。试验结束时测定了枯枝落叶层pH值、水分、氮、钾、磷含量。试验结束时肉鸡的平均活重为2620g。鸡的死亡率为1.52%。研究结果表明，使用特定的垫层材料有利于肉鸡的生产参数。枯枝落叶质量调查结果表明，在植物生长方面，它可以提供与无机肥料类似的效益。
