Using biological protective agents in turkey farms

Abstract

Abstract This research aimed to study the effect of adding new feed additives “Asido Bio-TCIT” in drinking water” in a dose of 1.0 ml/head/day on the productivity and hematological characters of turkey poults “BIG-6 “cross. Results showed that using of “Asido Bio-TCIT” leads to an improvement in the main production indicators of growth and development of turkeys; survival rate increases by 4.0%;the average daily gain in live weight is increased by 13.1%; feed costs per 1 kg live weight are reduced by 9.88%;the mass of gutted carcasses of the experimental group is higher than the control by 12.3%;the liver mass of the carcasses of the experimental group is higher than the control by 14.8%, and the heart weight is more by 17.9%.In addition to, total blood proteins show marked increase in the experimental group turkeys by 3.02 % compared with the control group. On biochemical analysis, a significant difference was observed in increase in the amount of hemoglobin and red blood corpuscles in the experimental group of turkeys by 8.82%, 8.29%, respectively.
