Influence of non-traditional feed additives on the development of digestive organs and egg formation in Adler Silver hen

Abstract

The findings of the study shed light on the promising benefits of incorporating non-traditional feed additives into poultry farming practices. Through meticulous experimentation, these additives, sourced from peat and feathers, were shown to have a positive impact on the physiological and morphofunctional traits of the digestive and reproductive systems of Adler silver breed chickens. The observed outcomes of using these unique feed additives unveiled a series of significant advantages. Notably, the proper development and efficient functionality of the ovary and oviduct were distinctly enhanced. This outcome has far-reaching implications, as it implies a potential avenue for bolstering egg production in laying hens of the Adler silver breed. A particularly intriguing revelation was the accelerated physiological maturation observed in the young animals within the experimental groups as compared to the control group. This phenomenon directly translated into tangible anatomical changes, notably an increase in the size of the ovary and oviduct. Such alterations strongly suggest the prospect of heightened egg productivity within the Adler silver breed. This study thus provides compelling evidence to underscore the viability of integrating non-traditional feed additives derived from feathers and peat into poultry nutrition strategies. The observed enhancements in reproductive traits not only hold promise for increased egg yield but also offer a deeper understanding of the intricate interplay between nutrition and physiological development in poultry. These findings open avenues for further exploration and optimization of feed formulations to potentially revolutionize poultry farming practices and enhance overall production efficiency.
