Journal Title: Бюлетень "Ветеринарна біотехнологія" - Year 2017, Vol 30, Issue
Abstract
Introduction. Today, the main trend of improving the technology of feeding birds is the development and introduction of vitamin and mineral preparations. Their systematic use allows to extend the use of dietary nutrients and provide disease prevention to realize full potential of modern genetic crosses and breeds. One of such achievement is the «BTF plus». This new complex preparation based on butafosfan, L-carnitine hydrochloride and cyanocobalamin, developed byemployees of the Research Station of Epizootology together with PE «Biofarm». The study of clinical and physiological parameters and productive poultry, when using «BTF plus» in this context is relevant. The goal of the work. Determine the effect of vitamin and mineral preparation «BTF plus» on efficiency of growing broiler chickens in terms of personal farm. Materials and methods. In experiment, we used broiler chickens cross «Cobb-500» of 10- days old. Chickens were divided into two groups: experimental and control, 10 in each ones. Preparation «BTF plus» was given to the experimental group of chickens 3 times in 15 days intervals by daily drinking with water for 5 days at a dose of 1 ml per 1 liter of water. The study was conducted over 90 days. We conducted clinical observation of poultry, changes in body weight, feed and water intake all the time. Results of research and discussion. In chickens there were no side effects after the preparation «BTF plus» application during the research. The behavior of the test group chickens, feed and water consumption, response to external stimuli, the state of the visible mucous membranes, feathers, comb and earrings, nature of feces, preservation of livestock during the experience did not differ from the parameters of the control group chickens. The result indicated that prior to completion of the study the chickens of the experimental group weighted by 5.1 % more than the control group ones. Over the entire period of the experiment, the average daily weight gain in the experimental group was by 5.3% higher than in the control group. It was found that «BTF plus» stimulates the metabolic processes in the chickens, contributes to a more intensive growth and development. Conclusions and prospects for further research. The use of vitamin and mineral preparation «BTF plus» in the diet of broiler chickens has a positive effect on the dynamics of body weight for 90 days, the average daily gain increased by 5.3 %, and body weight by 5.1%. Preparation «BTF plus» is recommended for broiler chickens during their growing in the private farming by daily drinking with water three times for 5 days, with 15 days intervals, at a dose of 1 ml per 1 liter of water. Further studies will be focused on testing preparation «BTF plus» in terms of agricultural enterprises.
