TECHNOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION OF BROILER MEAT

Abstract

Abstract The issues of development and implementation of resource-saving technologies in broiler poultry farming have a complex purposefulness and their solution must be scientifically substantiated and cost-effective. The productive qualities of meat chickens and broiler chickens of the productive crosses are significantly influenced by many factors that make up the conditions of keeping and feeding. The use of Apex and Emicidin preparations both separately and in combination with each other when rearing chickens of the broiler parent flock of the Ross 308 cross had a positive effect on their productivity and the quality of hatching eggs obtained at the end of the productive period, at the age of 52 weeks. Egg production per initial hen exceeded that in the control group by 2.6% in experimental group 1 (Emicidin), by 3.2% in experimental group 2 (Apex 3010), and by 5.8% in experimental group 3 (combined use of Emicidin and Apex 3010). The determined zootechnical indicators showed high efficiency of the use of the GerbaStor preparation for the floor rearing of broiler chickens of the Ross-308 cross in conditions of increased stocking density in winter. The difference in the productivity index was 18 units, and in meat yield from 1 m² of floor, it was 1.37 kg (3.8%) in favor of the broilers of the experimental group 2, who received GerbaStor. The profitability of the production and sale of meat of broilers grown under an increased stocking density using the GerbaStor preparation was 3.95% higher than that of broilers in the control group.
