The studies were carried out in the vivarium of FSBSI “Krasnodar Scientific Center of Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine”, in Krasnodar, on laying hens of Hisex Brown cross. The aim of the research was to study the effect of “Relikt A®» humic feed additive based on brown coal on productivity of laying hens of “Hisex Brown” cross. Four groups of young egg birds at the age of 130 days were formed for the research by the method of analogue pairs. The stabilization period lasted 10 days. Each group consisted of 40 heads. The experience lasted 3 months. It was found that there was a significant increase in the number of laid eggs per average laying hen by 14.9% in the group which received 0.06% of “Relic A®” of feed weight, compared to the control. Also, the application of the studied additive in the diets of laying hens of the groups that received 0.06% and 0.1% of the humic additive contributed to a decrease of feed costs for production of 10 eggs by 12.9 and 4.9%, respectively. Survivability of the population was maintained at the level of 100% in all groups throughout the entire experimental period. The oviposition intensity was significantly higher in the groups that received the humic supplement. The proceeds from the production of goods for a month increased in the control groups by 8.5; 14.9 and 4.8% according to the groups. The cost of 10 eggs decreased in the control groups by 8.3; 12.9 and 4.9%, respectively. The level of profitability also increased relative to the control in the second group by 6.53% and in the third by 10.13%, in the fourth by 3.82%. The feed additive based on brown coal can be considered as a natural feed ingredient; it is necessary to develop further a complex feed additive from natural components that fully satisfies the need of poultry for biologically active substances and micronutrients.

This study examined the effect of feed additives based on brown coal on the productivity indicators of laying hens. The Relict A® organo-mineral feed additive for livestock and poultry is a multi-component, gummatized product with a wide range of biological activity, accelerating the growth and development of the animal. Relict A® is an environmentally friendly supplement that does not contain hormones or synthetic compounds. The control group was fed complete feed without additives. The second, third and fourth groups were fed feed containing 0.04%, 0.06% and 0.10% of the studied additives, respectively. The amount of feed for each group of laying hens was strictly normalized in accordance with their age, according to the recommendations for this cross. The use of the Relict A® feed additive in the laying hens’ rations led to an increase in the average number of eggs per laying hen, a decrease in the cost of feed for producing 1 dozen eggs, and a reduction in the time when the poultry reached the peak egg laying intensity. Feeding the additive to laying hens reduced the cost of producing 1 dozen eggs in the experimental groups, and also increased the profitability of chicken eggs in comparison with the control. The best dose was to use 0.06% of Relict A® by weight of the feed. A 26.6% increase in laying hen egg production was found. Keywords: feed additives, laying hens, egg productivity, brown coal

The possibilities of increasing the productivity of different poultry species by increasing the absorption of feed nutrients can be realized through the use of new biologically active components that are usually added to traditional feed based on live cultures of microorganisms of the normal microflora of the gastrointestinal tract. The effectiveness of different probiotic drugs varies depending on the types and strains of microorganisms that are included in their composition, the dose of the drug, the scheme of its use, age, type, physiological state and productivity of animals. The research has been carried out to study the influence of the use of the probiotic feed additive Amilocin in the diets of laying hens of the cross Hisex Brown on their productivity. The positive influence of the studied feed additive on the live weight and livability of laying hens, egg productivity, quality and quantity of eggs obtained, morphological and biochemical parameters of the blood of experimental poultry, slaughter parameters and chemical composition of the meat of experimental laying hens has been established. The optimal rate of introduction of probiotic feed additive Amilocin into the diet of laying hens has been determined (0,5 g/head/day at the beginning of egg laying during 10 days, 1,0 g/head/day at the peak of egg laying during 10 days, followed by 1 g/head/day monthly for 10 days until the end of egg laying). The economics effectiveness of using the probiotic feed additive Amilocin per 1,0 ruble of costs was 1,24– 1,35 ruble. According to the research data recommendations for the use of the probiotic feed additive Amilocin have been proposed.

  ABSTRAK Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh dari penggunaan ramuan herbal terhadap income over feed cost  ayam broiler. Materi  yang digunakan pada  penelitian ini adalah: ayam broiler DOC. Penelitian ini dirancang dengan menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) yang terdiri dari 4 perlakuan dan masing-masing perlakuan terdiri dari 4 ulangan. Perlakuan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penggunaan ramuan herbal dalam air minum dengan level penggunaan sebagai berikut : P0: tanpa penambahan ramuan herbal, P1:air + 10 % ramuan herbal, P2: air  + 15 % ramuan herbal, P3: air + 20% ramuan herbal. Variabel yang di amati  dalam penelitian ini adalah konsumsi pakan, biaya pakan, dan income over feed cost ayam broiler. Data yang diperoleh (income over feed cost) di analisis dengan menggunakan analisis ragam dengan rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL). Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa biaya pakan tertinggi terdapat pada kelompok perlakuan P3 diikuti berturut-turut oleh P1, P2, P0 dan yang terendah adalah P0. Sedangkan pada P0 biaya pakan paling rendah karena tidak ada penggunaan ramuan herbal. Berdasarkan data penerimaan, penerimaan tertinggi terdapat pada kelompok kontrol P1 Rp 31.430,6  sedangkan penerimaan terandah terdapat pada kelompok P0 sebesar Rp 24.814,8.100 Rendahnya penerimaan dalam penelitian ini disebabkan oleh rendahnya bobot badan ayam broiler selama penelitian. Income Over Feed Cost selama penelitian yang tertinggi terdapat pada kelompok P3 (3.568), dan terendah terdapat pada perlakuan  P1 (979) P0 (1.964), P2 (1.937) karena biaya pakan lebih tinggi dari pada penerimaan.Ini berarti bahwa penggunaan ramuan herbal  dalam air minum berpengaruh sangat nyata (P< 0,01) terhadap Income Over Feed Cost. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa penggunaan ramuan herbal sebagai feed additive  memberikan pengaruh sangat nyata terhadap IOFC ayam broiler.   Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using herbal ingredients on income over feed costs of broiler chickens. The material used in this study was: broiler DOC. This study was designed using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 4 treatments and each treatment consisted of 4 replications. The treatment used in this study is the use of herbal ingredients in drinking water with the use level as follows: P0: without the addition of herbal ingredients, P1: water + 10% herbal ingredients, P2: water + 15% herbal ingredients, P3: water + 20% herbal concoctions. The variables observed in this study were feed consumption, feed costs, and income over feed costs for broiler chickens. The data obtained (income over feed cost) is analyzed using a variety of analysis with a completely randomized design (CRD). The results showed that the highest feed costs were found in the P3 treatment group followed by P1, P2, P0 and the lowest was P0. Whereas at P0 the cost of feed is lowest because there is no use of herbal ingredients. Based on acceptance data, the highest revenue was in the P1 control group of Rp. 31,430.6 while the lowest acceptance was in the P0 group of Rp. 24,814.8,100. The low acceptance in this study was caused by the low body weight of broiler chickens during the study. Income Over Feed Cost during the highest research was found in the P3 group (3,568), and the lowest was found in the treatment of P1 (979) P0 (1,964), P2 (1,937) because the cost of feed was higher than acceptance. drinking water has a very significant effect (P <0.01) on Income Over Feed Cost. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that the use of herbal ingredients as additive feeds has a very significant effect on IOFC broiler chickens.

Breeders of edible eggs, using various crosses of chickens, try to reduce the cost of production. In this regard, interests of hen crosses that produce egg products with low feed costs and low cost. One of these egg crosses of hens is “Lohmann brown light”. At the same time, domestic poultry farms successfully use the “Lohmann Braun classic”cross poultry. The aim of the study was to evaluate the egg productivity indicators of laying hens of the industrial herd of crosses “Lohmann brown classic”and” Lohmann brown light”. The study was carried out in the conditions of LLC Poultry Farm “Varaksino” of the Udmurt Republic. For the research, 2 groups of hens were formed, consisting of 6 batches each. As a result, hens of the studied crosses were characterized by approximately the same viability and level of livestock preservation – 94.1 – 94.3 %. Crosses of hens “Lohmann brown classic” and “Lohmann brown light” had minor differences in quantitative and qualitative indicators of egg production. Thus, egg production for the initial and average laying hens in the groups was at the level of 348.2 – 350.5 and 353 – 355.2 eggs, respectively. The amount of egg mass from the cross “Lohmann brown classic” hens was 22.9 kg, and from the cross “Lohmann brown light” - 22.6 kg. On an equal background of feeding, there were no differences in the cost of feed for the production of 10 eggs (1.29 – 1.31 kg) and 1 kg of egg mass (2.03 – 2.05 kg) in the studied hen crosses.

The studies were carried out in the conditions of ZAO PPF “Kavkaz” of the Krasnodar Territory. The article presents results of studies on separate and combined usage of active coal feed additive (ACFA) as a sorbent and “Sporothermin” probiotic for development of muscles and internal organs of broiler chickens of “Cobb-500” cross. The studies were carried out in accordance with the “Methodology for conducting scientific and industrial research on agricultural poultry.” At the end of the experimental period, the development of the muscles and internal organs of the bird was studied. In the course of the experiment, the survivability of the bird, the increase of live weight, and the cost of feed were also determined. As a result of the studies, it was revealed that the use of a probiotic and a sorbent increases the live weight of an un-gutted carcass by 5.0-8.7%. With the combined application of a sorbent and a probiotic, the mass of the glandular stomach was significantly increased by 0.15 abs. % (P <0.001). Intestinal mass significantly grew up with application of ACFA sorbent by 0.42 abs. % (p <0.05). Intestinal length evidently decreased by 8.5% (p <0.001) when using “Sporothermine” probiotic. It should be noted that the mass of the thigh muscles significantly increased by 29.0% (p <0.05) in the second experimental group with usage of ACFA, in relation to the control. At the end of the experiment, the live weight of poultry increased by 4.2% (p <0.01) in the second group with ACFA application. In the third group, where “Sporothermin” was used, the live weight grew up by 9.0% (p <0.001). In the fourth experimental group, which was fed with both the sorbent and the probiotic, the best results were obtained and the live weight significantly increased by 9.7% (p <0.001). Over the entire experiment period, feed costs per unit of production have been reduced by 4.3- 8.6%. The survivability of the poultry population was 94.4% in the control. In the second and third groups, the survival rate was also high and exceeded the control by 3.0%, in the fourth - by 5.6%.

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of seven different levels (0, 25, 50, 100, 200, 400, and 600 mg/kg) of a phytogenic feed additive containing a mixture of essential oils from thyme, black cumin, fennel, anise and rosemary on performance, eggshell quality, bone biomechanical properties and bone mineralization in laying hens. This study consisted of a total of 112, 21-week-old Super Nick laying hens, which were randomly distributed into seven experimental groups. During the 12-week experimental period, each experimental group of four replicates of four birds each was fed with seven treatment diets. Egg weight and egg mass were positively linearly affected by essential oil mixture supplementation. Also, eggshell thickness was increased quadratically by essential oil mixture supplementation. The biomechanical properties and tibia mineral content were adversely affected by essential oil mixture supplementation at the level of 600 and 400 mg/ kg, respectively. These results demonstrated that dietary supplementation with a low or medium concentration of essential oils improved bone parameters, while at high levels were adversely affected in laying hens.

The studies were carried out in the experimental housing room of FSBSI KSCZV on quails of Texas white breed. The purpose of the scientific and economic experience was to study the effectiveness of using a feed additive based on modified beer pellets in mixed feeds for young quail. Feeding of quail chicks was divided into 3 phases - "Start" - from daily to 14-day-old age, "Growth" - from 15 to 28-day-old age, and" Finish» - from 29 to 56-day-old age. The experimental group received an additive in a dosage of 1.5% by weight of complete feed. The research was conducted according to the" Methodology of scientific and industrial research on poultry feeding» (2000). During the experiment live weight, liveweight gain, the safety of poultry, cost of feed was determined. At the end of the experimental period, the economic effectiveness was studied. As a result of studies it was found that the live weight of the birds in the second experimental group significantly increased by 8.6% at 14 days age (p<0.01) and at 28-day age – 6.4% (p<0.01) in 42-day – by 4.7 % (p<0.05), daily gain over the entire period was higher in the experimental group for 4.6 %. The use of the additive did not affect the safety of the bird. Feed costs per 1 kg of growth were lower in the second group by 5.0 %, compared to the control. The cost of 1 kg of live weight gain of quails was less than the control indicator in the experimental group by 2.6 %. Also introduced feed ingredient allowed to get 5.08 rubles of additional profit from 1 head.


Intermittent Lighting Improves the Efficiency of Artificial Insemination in Cage Housed Laying Hens Kavtarashvili A.Sh., Kolokolnikova T.N. Federal Scientific Center “All-Russian Research and Technological Poultry Institute” of Russian Academy of Sciences Omsk Agrarian Scientific Center Summary: The effects of different lighting regimes on the oviposition schedule, productive performance, and reproductive efficiency in cage housed laying hens of layer parental flock (Hisex White-R) were studied; the reasonable regime of artificial insemination (AI) under intermittent lighting is proposed. It was found that intermittent lighting regime 1L:4D:4L:1D:4L:10D compared to the constant lighting significantly alters oviposition schedule: under this regime 82.3% of all daily eggs were laid until 9 am (vs. 66.6% in control). This regime and AI at 10 am improved the productive and reproductive performance compared to control (constant lighting 16L:8D and AI at 12 am): mortality by 1.9%, egg production per initial hen by 3.8%, egg weight by 1.1%, percentage of eggs suitable for incubation by 1.9%, egg fertility by 0.9%, hatchability by 2.3%, hatch of chicks by 2.9%, feed conversion ratio (kg of feed per 10 eggs) by 5.3%, the expenses of electric energy for lighting (per 1000 eggs suitable for incubation) by 54.5%. Key words: INTERMITTENT LIGHTING, CAGE HOUSED LAYERS, ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION (AI), OVIPOSITION SCHEDULE, AI TIMING, PRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE, REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE
