Feasibility study of the influence of the diet on the quality characteristics of poultry production

Abstract

Production of poultry products is one of the cost-effective areas of animal husbandry as a more rapid solution to the problem of providing the country’s population with high-value food products. At poultry farms, this allows producing eggs and poultry meat with a low expenditure of labor and other material and technical means per unit of output, that is, almost 2–3 times lower compared to other branches of animal husbandry. Studies of egg production of poultry cross “Highsex Brown” were conducted at the Smetanino poultry farm in the Smolensk region. The aim of the study was to study the effect of protein nutrition of chickens on their egg production and standardization of egg mass, as well as the role of vitamin supplements in the diet of poultry feeding on the quality of the products obtained.
