Abstract
A comparative analysis of the growth rate and development of turkeys when using the feed additive “Biorostacidum®” in their diet was carried out. Three groups of day-old turkeys of the BIG-6 cross were formed, each of which consisted of 100 individuals (without gender separation). The first control group received a carefully balanced standard diet. The second experimental group, in addition to the standard feed, received the feed additive “Biorostacidum®” at a dosage of 0.5 kg per 1 ton of feed. Experimental group III received a similar supplement at a dosage of 1.0 kg per 1 ton of feed.
It was found that the feed additive “Biorostacidum®” has a beneficial effect on the body of turkeys, stimulating an increase in the body weight gain of the experimental bird by 6.5% and 12.5% compared with the control group. The average daily weight gain of turkeys increased by 5.6 g and 10.7 g, which is equivalent to 6.6% and 12.7% relative to the control indicator. The slaughter yield in the experimental groups of turkeys was 78.6% and 80.1%, which exceeds the control indicator (76.7%) by 1.9% and 3.4%, respectively. In addition, the addition of the feed additive “Biorostacidum®” to the feed of the main diet led to an increase in the safety of turkeys by 2.0% and 4.0% compared with the control group.
