Production of geese at using unconventional additions in mixed fodder

Abstract

The article provides the results of the researches concerning the efficiency of using dry apple pomaces with adding chelate Cuprum and Zink while growing geese. Experimentally was determined the effective level of these additives and researched their influence. It was theoretically and practically grounded the expediency of the use in the mixed fodders for the geese of unconventional forage additions and found out their influence on the indexes of the productivity of geese, content of carotenoids in goose yolks  and  intensity  of goslings growth. Nutrition indicates that dry apple pomaces contain a large number of biologically active substances, in particular carotenoids, phospholipids, and a number of mineral elements, especially Cobalt and Iodine. In addition, in this case, the term «waste» is rather arbitrary. Apple pomaces which contain high amounts of ingredients should be taken as secondary material resources and use for fodder purposes. However, an increase level of raw cellulose of dry apple pomaces (27.79%) something  restrains their addition to the content of mixed fodder for poultry in high doses. However, geese are able to reach the corresponding level of the productivity after high containing of cellulose. However, in an order to promote the ability of poultry to use effectively the nutritives of this plant feed, there was a necessity of application of chelates, that  increase  catalytic functions of the body. It is found that the usage of non-traditional feed additives provides the rise in the process of eggs laying by 18.9%, promote the rise of vitality of goslings and content  of  carotenoids in yolks by 16.8%. The usage of dry apple pomace which is the waste substances of apple juice  production after further drying, in small doses up to 7% is the optimal balance of nutrients. It is also obvious that the micro elements in the form of chelates have got a chemically protected shape, and in such a way they keep increasing the biological availability of the metal. It contributes to maintaining of the content of micro elements in organs and tissues, thus improving  the  intensity of  goslings  by 10.33%.
