The research was aimed at studying the efficiency of using functional feed additives based on fermented brewer's grains with vegetative filler and an adsorbent in combined feeds for broiler chickens. The use of the developed biological product resulted in increasing the live weight in the second group of chickens by 8.0 %, the average daily live weight gain – by 8.2 %, while reducing the feed used per unit of the product by 8.0 %. The results of analyzing the contents of the microflora of the caeca in the intestine showed a reduction of the common microbial number in the experimental group of chickens from 2x109 to 3x107 and an increase in the number of lactobacilli from 1x106 to 6x107. Therefore, the efficiency of the composite biological product in feeding broiler chickens has been proven.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
