Abstract:
One of the available and effective ways to improve the fullness of poultry diets, is the use of biologically active additives that serve as an alternative to feed antibiotics, hormones, antioxidants and other additives that accumulate in poultry products. These include organic acids that contribute, according to the literature, to increase productivity and improve the quality of poultry meat. In this regard, feed concentrate from peat and feed concentrate from feathers are of particular interest. The peat feed concentrate contains humic acids, one of which is fulvic acid. Feather feed concentrate can serve as a significant reserve in terms of protein content. Based on the studies, a positive effect of peat and feather feed additive on the productivity of laying hens was established.
