Purpose: studying the features of the formation of signs of meat productivity in chickens of the egg-meat direction in the juvenile period in ontogenesis and fixing the most informative age for early assessment of meat qualities.Materials and methods. Young grew in group cells of a 3-tier cellular battery. The dynamics of growth and the development of exterior and interior indicators, characterizing meat productivity in ontogenesis in the young of the Pushkin breed of chickens, which refers to an egg-meat type on productivity through periodic (every 2 weeks) weighing and taking protections of the physique in 100 heads of young people. On 21 heads, an anatomical cutting was carried out at which the mass of the heart, liver, two parts of the stomach (muscular, iron), the sum of the muscles (femur, crus, metatisium) took into account. The development of meat forms of the physique to determine the age and individual characteristics was determined using exterior articles of industrial (the length of the body, the length of the keel, the gripping of the chest, the length of the leg, hips, plus). Prombs were taken from the entire experienced livestock, together with weighing, every 2 weeks. In order to find the most informative age for an early estimate of meat quality, which would characterize meat productivity at an older age, the correlation was calculated between the industrial over the age periods and the mass of muscles at 16 weeks.Results. The dynamics of the average daily growth of the living mass and the mass of the carved carcass in the roosters was uneven. Until 8-week age, the average daily increase increased, then began to decline until 14 weeks of age, during 16-week aged an average increase increased dramatically. The dynamics of average daily growths in the roosters of individual muscles was similar, namely, from 4 to 8-week age, high rates of average daily growth were noted, and from 8 to 14 months of age there is a decrease, and then again activation of growth. Studies have shown that the growth of the skeleton is slowed down by 14 weeks. The dynamics of the average daily growth of internal organs in the roosters in the juvenile period occurs asynchronously. The greatest intensity of the growth of the heart, liver and stomach was observed on a 8-week age. Studies have shown that the stomach is most intensively developing up to 8 weeks, then development is braked sharply.Conclusion. Based on the data obtained, it can be concluded that for the preliminary selection of chickens of the egg-meat direction of cultivation with the best genetic potential for meat productivity, it is possible at 8 weeks old, but the final rating should be carried out no earlier than 14-week age. The estimation of meat qualities in a 14-week age should be carried out on the basis of live masses and industrial, namely, the oblique length of the body, the girth plus, the length of the leg, the preliminary estimate can be done in such a precursor, as the slanting the length of the body, the length of the leg and girth plus.

Grazing Swan geese (Anser cygnoides) have good meat quality but grow slowly. This study aimed to study whether supplemental feeding could improve growth performance of grazing Swan geese and investigate a suitable dietary metabolizable energy (ME) level of supplemental diet for grazing Swan geese. Naturalized healthy male Swan geese (n = 144; 42 ± 2.0 days and 1.21 ± 0.17 kg) were randomly allocated into 4 groups and grazed on pasture alone (control, CON) or offered supplemental diets with ME of 9.5, 11.5, or 13.5 MJ/kg of DM after grazing. Growth performance and body-size measurements (including bone development) were lower (p < 0.05) in CON versus supplemented geese, as well as slaughter measurements on days 28 and 56. The DM intake linearly decreased (p < 0.01) with increasing dietary ME from day 29 to 56. Slaughter, semi-eviscerated, eviscerated, and thigh muscle yield linearly (p < 0.01) decreased with increasing dietary ME on day 56. Lightness (L*) and yellowness (b*) for breast and thigh muscle on days 28 and 56, and breast muscle shear force on day 56, were lower (p < 0.01) in supplemented versus CON geese. In conclusion, supplemental feeding improved growth performance and carcass characteristics of grazing Swan geese, and supplemental feed with ME of 9.5 MJ/kg of DM could be offered to improve growth and meat quality of grazing Swan geese.

This paper presents the results of determining genotypes of 3-breed pig hybrids (Landrace x Yorkshire x Duroc) by marker genes MC4R (melanocortin receptor-4 gene), IGF2 (insulinoid growth factor-2), POU1F1 (pituitary transcription factor), H-FABP (protein gene binding fatty acids), GH (growth hormone gene), LEP (leptin gene) and their interrelation with meat productivity. Allele frequencies for the studied genes were determined (MC4R: А = 0.58, G = 0.42; IGF2: Q = 0.96, q = 0.04; POU1F1: Е = 0.66, F = 0.34; H-FABP: D = 0.38, d = 0.62; GH: А = 0.26, G = 0.74; LEP: С = 0.27, Т = 0.73). The study showed that 3-breed hybrids did not have the highest level of heterozygosity in most allelic genes. MC4R (AG = 48%), POU1F1 (EF = 68%) and H-FABP (Dd = 52%) genes had the greatest number of heterozygotes; IGF2 (QQ = 92%), GH (GG = 58%) and LEP (TT = 56%) genes had the greatest number of homozygotes. The data showed that the breeds used to obtain three-breed hybrids were selected for analogous (meat quality) traits and that they had a higher frequency of the desired Q (IGF2), G (GH) and T (LEP) gene alleles, which were lost from hybrids in the homozygous condition. We identified the most desirable genotypes for the studied genes (GGMC4R, AGMC4R, QQIGF2, EFPOU1F1, DDH-FABP, AAGH, CTLEP) which are recommended for pig selection as well as for selection of parent pairs for producing commercial hybrids with high meat productivity.

Abstract. The purpose of the research is to study the effect of a probiotic supplement on the productivity of broiler chickens of the fast-growing Cobb 500 cross and the quality of poultry meat. Research methods. To study the parameters of meat productivity of broiler chickens, slaughter and anatomical cutting of poultry carcasses were carried out, the morphological composition of individual parts of carcasses was evaluated, the chemical composition of poultry meat was analyzed by determining moisture (GOST 9793-74), fat (GOST 23042-86), protein (GOST 25011-81), the level of essential amino acids (capillary electrophoresis method), organoleptic parameters of poultry meat and broth were studied. Research results. It was found that the introduction of a fodder additive into the poultry diet contributes to the improvement of meat characteristics of the Cobb 500 cross, improves the quality properties of poultry meat, as well as the bio-value of poultry meat products. When studying meat productivity, it was revealed that in experimental groups the mass of the gutted carcass was higher than in the control by 1.45.3 %, the slaughter yield was higher by 0.31.4 %, the mass of all breast tissues of broiler chickens of experimental groups exceeded this indicator in the control by 1.78.2 %, the mass of all femoral tissues was higher by 2.07.8 %, and the mass of all shin tissues by 1.56.8 %. The results of the chemical analysis of muscles of broiler chickens showed that the protein content was higher in experimental groups compared to the control group by 0.180.60 %, with a decrease in fat by 0.060.16 %, and there was also a decrease in meat quality index in all experimental groups by 4.510.5 %. A positive statistically significant difference was revealed when analyzing the amino acid score in the muscles of birds of experimental groups compared with the control group. The organoleptic evaluation of boiled broiler chicken meat and broth from them in experimental groups showed superiority over the poultry meat of the control group and averaged 4.9 versus 4.8 points. Scientific novelty. For the first time, the meat productivity and meat quality of broiler chickens were evaluated when using a microbial additive based on autochthonous microorganisms of the genus Lactobacillus isolated from the contents of the gastrointestinal tract of wild quails in their diet.

The use of probiotic additives in the livestock industry, including rabbit breeding, contributes to the normalization of the microbiocenosis of the animal body, as well as their resistance to pathogenic microflora, which ultimately affects the increase in meat productivity and meat quality. The influence of probiotic additive "Prostor" on the productivity, chemical composition and biological value of rabbit meat was studied. The influence of probiotic - sorbent complexes on the number of rabbits (males) of the hybrid form "Hiplus" of the French selection at the age of 45 days in the conditions of the industrial complex of LLC "Lipetsk rabbit" of the Khlevensky district of the Lipetsk region, which were divided into control and experimental groups by the method of pairs-analogues, was studied. The control group of rabbits received the main diet, consisting of feed PZK-90, rabbits 1 experimental group received feed PZK-92-60-18, which was introduced synbiotic " Prostor " in a dosage of 0.5 g/kg of feed, and rabbits 2 experimental group 1 g/ kg of feed, respectively. Meat quality was assessed at the age of 105 days after control slaughter in the amount of 3 heads from each group. Morphological composition data showed that the mass of the muscular tissue of the rabbits of the 1st and 2nd experimental groups was superior to the rabbits of the control group by 12.17 and 23.84%, respectively. Analysis of the chemical and amino acid composition of muscle tissue showed that the use of feed additives "Prostor " in a dosage of 1.0 g per kg of feed has a positive effect on meat productivity, and the quality of rabbit meat, which opens up prospects for the use of these drugs in the rabbit industry.

This study was carried out on the fattening and meat qualities of store pigs. One of the main tasks of the study was to analyze the meat quality of the progeny obtained through the crossing of LW female pigs and half-breed LW x ST with male pigs of specialized meat breeds. Linear sizes were defined, which served as an indirect indicator of meat productivity. The amount of pig fat in a carcass was determined. The animals of the 1st and 2nd groups were distinguished – 30.8% and 32.1%, respectively, which were higher than the animals of the triple crossing by 2.5% (P<0.95); 3.0% (Р<0.95); 3.8% (P>0.99); 3.9% (P>0.999); 4.3% (P>0.999); and 5.1% (P>0.999). According to our data, the highest indicator of the loin eye area was among the pigs obtained through the crossing of crossbred female pigs LW x ST with male pigs of Pietrain, Duroc, Landrace breeds. The triple crossing pigs had the highest slaughter yield – 72.4-73.3%, compared to 69.4% for LW, and 70.5% for the two-breed rotation LW x ST. In terms of bone content, the differences were not significant and were statistically unreliable. The two-breed pigs LW x ST had the largest amount of kidney fat followed by LW and all of the triple crossed pigs. However, the difference was not statistically significant. The weight of the carcasses in the experimental groups ranged from 60.7 kg to 65.3 kg, and the pigs of the 3rd, 4th and 5th groups had the largest carcass weights, while the highest indicator was observed in the combination (LW x ST) x D.
