Продуктивность кур-несушек при использовании в рационе нетрадиционных кормов

Abstract

Improving the efficiency of protein utilization from feed depends not only on the balanced ration in terms of essential nutrients, particularly amino acids, but also on their availability. Feather meal serves as a significant reserve in terms of protein content. Studies on the use of feather meal in laying hen diets have revealed that this feed additive exerts a stimulating effect on the productivity of hens. The justification for incorporating feather meal into laying hen diets as a protein ingredient was obtained through experimental analysis, including physiological parameters, productivity, and the quality of the produced output. The obtained results open up prospects for the practical application of feather meal in agriculture, providing a basis for further research and the implementation of this approach in the practice of feeding poultry in agriculture.
