Feed conversion and livability of broiler chickens when including feed additive Neomet in compound feed

One of the main principles of reducing the cost of production of poultry products is the efficient use of feed and compliance with the requirements of sanitation and hygiene, as well as compliance with poultry technology. In this regard, an important area of research in the fi eld of poultry feeding and hygiene is the search for cheaper and environmentally friendly feed products that are close in their biological value to traditional ones and reduce the cost of diets. The issue of providing poultry with essential amino acids, such as methionine to increase the productivity of broiler chickens is particularly relevant. Currently, the industry uses feed products such as oilcakes and presscakes, which are the main sources of methionine in poultry feeding, to replenish methionine. Therefore, current industry produces the feed additive Neomet as an alternative to natural sources of feed with a high content of methionine. The purpose of the research was to study the feed conversion and livability of broiler chickens when the additive Neomet was added to the feed. The work was devoted to the study of the effect of the biologically active additive Neomet on feed conversion and the livability of broiler chickens of the meat cross Ross-308 under the conditions of the poultry farm of Mega Jurma LLC. It was revealed as a result of the carried out scientific and economic experiment and analysis of research results that in the experimental group where the feed additive Neomet was presented in the compound feed, livestock livability was higher by 2.9 abs.%, the average daily gain in live weight was higher by 0.89 g, and feed conversion was lower than 0.2 feed units compared to the control group. At the same time, the rearing time of broiler chickens decreased by 0.1 days. More meat was obtained from 1 m2 of poultry house area by 3.6 kg, the European productivity index was by 20.5 % higher.
