FROM THE PRODUCTION EXPERIENCE OF THE POULTRY ENTERPRISE

Every owner knows that the high productivity of poultry depends on feeding for more than 50%. Feed costs make up more than 70% of the total costs of raising and keeping broiler chickens. Therefore, when growing broilers, special attention should be paid to feeding.
The “Zhuravushka” farm has been engaged in the production of broiler poultry for over 6 years. Compound feed is made according to a simplified recipe, using its own grain part and amino acid vitamin-mineral feed concentrate ZHYVYNA.
In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of ZHYVYNA AAVMFC in our farm and on our initiative, a production trial was conducted according to the scheme shown in Table 1.

Table 1. Schematic of a production experiment using ZHYVYNA AAVMFC in FE “Zhuravushka”

To conduct the experiment, two equal groups of broiler chickens of 5,000 heads each were formed. The general conditions of keeping chickens were equivalent (on coarse litter). Until the age of two weeks, chickens consumed industrially produced compound feed.

Compound feed of own production in the farm of FE “Zhuravushka” was produced by a technologist and fed to broiler chickens from the age of 2 weeks. The technological scheme of fodder production is as follows: a crusher, a vertical mixer, a hopper for storage and unloading. The scheme of use in the rations of ZHYVYNA AAVMFC is as follows: from 2 to 3 weeks of age – 10%, from 3 to 4 weeks of age – 7%, from 4 to 5 weeks of age – 5% , from 5 to 6 Sunday age – 3%.

With constant use of ZHYVYNA in feeding broiler chickens, the productivity of poultry in the experimental group increased by an average of 12% compared to the analogues of the control group. The average daily weight gain of chickens of the experimental group during the main period of the experiment was 51 g. The live weight of the poultry of the experimental group at the age of 55 days was 2.7-2.8 kg, and that of the control group was 2.4-2.5 kg, that is, the difference was 0. 3 kg per head.

Addition of ZHYVYNA AAVMFC to the rations of broiler chickens accelerates their growth and development, increases resistance to the action of toxins and free radicals, which is immediately reflected in their physiological state. The use of ZHYVYNA AAVMFC in the rations of broiler chickens ensures: reduction of feed consumption by 18%, feed conversion from 2.1% to 1.8%; improves herd survival from 95% to 98%. When slaughtering, the carcasses are better aligned by mass, which facilitates their processing and sale.

Table 2. Comparative economic efficiency of using feed rations

The economic efficiency from the use of feed concentrate shown in Table 2 shows that, despite a slight increase in the cost of feed mixtures of the experimental group compared to the control group, the profitability of feeding increased by 25%.

The scheme of production of poultry products correctly chosen by our enterprise allows to optimally and maximally profitably use the available feed of the farm, to increase the employment of employees, to ensure the correct ratio of the value of feed resources in the structure of the cost of production.
