Broiler chickens product quality as an indicator of sustainable poultry farming development

Abstract

In the article parameters of meat cross ROSS 308broiler chickens’ productivity depending on different dosages, increasing ecological quality are considered. The applied mixed composition fodder was investigated. It was found that the chicken’s body weight from the first and second experimental groups before slaughter was 271.3 g (13.6%) and 103 g (5.1%) higher than in the control group. Differences in the weight of gutted and half-gutted carcasses, pectoral muscles and bone tissue of chickens of experimental and control groups were found. The probiotic preparation “Yarosil” inclusion in the broiler chickens’ diet increased the yield of gutted carcasses in the first and second experimental groups to 72.9% and 72.0% respectively, which contributes to sustainable development in the region and Russia as a whole.
