Rearing of broiler chickens when using an anti-stressor

Abstract

Many scientists believe that stress and the consequences of stressful situations are an inevitable outcome due to the fact that poultry farming has reached a broad industrial basis. The intensive growth of this industry is associated with high demand for poultry meat products. Condensed planting of poultry and its regrouping lead to stress, and specialists are faced with the task of minimizing the consequences of stressful situations throughout the entire life cycle of the poultry and increasing its productivity. The purpose of the work was to study the rearing of broiler chickens when using the anti-stress additive Feed-Food Magic Antistress Mix in their diets under conditions of bed system. The chickens of the control group received standard compound feed, while the broilers of the 1st experimental group were given the anti-stress additive Feed-Food Magic Antistress Mix in the diet in the amount of 500 g/t of compound feed, and the 2nd experimental group 200 g/t of compound feed. The duration of the scientifi c and farm experiment lasted 37 days. Despite the higher cost of compound feed in the experimental groups (due to additional costs for the anti-stress additive), in these groups an additional profi t was received in the 1st experimental group in the amount of 1138,70 rubles and in the 2nd experimental group 898,08 rubles, which allows us to draw a conclusion about the economic feasibility of using additive Feed-Food Magic Antistress Mix when rearing broiler chickens. It has been established that the use of the anti-stress additive Feed-Food Magic Antistress Mix in the diets of broiler chickens when using bed system helps to increase the level of profi tability. This economic eff ect allows us to recommend the use of the tested anti-stress additive in the industrial production of broiler chicken meat.
