Morphological features of the liver of broiler chickens after administration of PRODUCTIVE HEPATO

Abstract

Poultry is the most preferred meat in the current market of animal products. However, such changes in the liver, as adipose degeneration and haemorrhage can be recorded on 35 days after the slaughter. Therefore, to prevent destructive changes in internal organs, especially in the liver, various feed additives are used. In our test, we used Productive Hepato to prevent fatty infiltration and other liver damage, deficiency of B vitamins and essential amino acids and to mitigate the effects of stress. The method for determining safety of meat products was histological analysis, which evaluated the state of structural elements of muscle tissues and internal organs. 7-day old chickens were divided into 2 groups, 10 animals each. The control group did not receive the feed additive, the test group received 1 ml of Productive Hepato per 1 L of water within 5 consecutive days. The animals were slaughtered at the age of 42 days. Samples were taken within 30 minutes after the slaughter. Morphologically the liver corresponded to the physiological norm both in the test and control group. It indicated the safety of products. However, the liver of the chickens of the test group did not show any signs of adipose degeneration unlike the liver of the chickens of the control group. It demonstrated the high efficiency of the feed additive.
