The Quality of Meat and Eggs of Laying Hens When Adding Succinic Acid Drug to the Diet

Abstract

Recently, the use of ecologically safe and biologically active elements and drugs that have a positive impact on the biochemical, immunological, hematological and productive indicators of animals and birds have become of great importance in their feeding. In this regard, the use of extracts of a number of plants, probiotics, as well as organic acids and other additives of natural origin is of great interest. The studies were conducted on laying hens of the cross Rodonit, 180 days of age, on the basis of the Department of Therapy and Clinical Diagnostics of Kazan State Academy of Veterinary Medicine. The first group served as a biological control and received only the basic ration. The drug Yantovet was added to the drinking water at a dose of 0.5 mL1 !1 bird per day for 60 days in the experimental group. Studies have shown that the use of the drug based on succinic acid and organic phosphorus in addition to the basic ration of laying hens showed a stimulating effect on egg production while not having a negative impact on product quality.
