Abstract:
The presented research aimed at studying the influence of the biomass of Streptomyces that is included in fodder mixtures as a feed additive on the growth and maturation of chickens from the hens of hybrid Lohman Brown. The results obtained showed that chickens in the experimental group receiving Streptomycetes biomass had a 10,7% greater weight gain and a specific consumption lower by 19,9% compared to the chickens in the control group. At the same time the daily average of chickens from the experimental group was 12.0% higher compared with the control group of chickens.
