Abstract:
The aim of the research is to study the effect of unconventional feed additives on the slaughter indicators of the internal organs of chickens of the Adler silver breed. The article experimentally substantiates the feasibility of using nontraditional feed additives for laying hens. It was found that the introduction of feed additives from feathers and peat into the main diet improves the conversion of feed, increases the slaughter performance, the mass of internal organs, and the development of the pectoral muscles of Adler silver laying hens. On the basis of the data obtained, unconventional feed additives from peat and feathers can be recommended as an effective beneficial feed product for feeding Adler silvery hens in order to increase the productive qualities of poultry.
