Probiotic Preparation

The quality of the received products directly depends on the state of the microflora of the gastroin-testinal tract that is reflected, in particular, on the egg productivity of laying hens. As a result, the use of biologically safe preparations, namely, probiotics, is becoming a priority in the poultry industry. This work aims to establish the feasibility and effectiveness of the use of the complex probiotic products Immunoflor in the diet of laying chickens of the Dekalb White Cross. Based on the comprehensive research, the feasibility of using the complex probiotic product Immunoflor in egg production technology to improve the egg-laying capacity and the quality of the obtained eggs of laying hens of the Dekalb White cross was scientifically substantiated and experimentally proven. Against the background of the use of this drug, it was found that the average daily egg-laying capacity in the 1st and 2nd experimental groups exceeded the control layers: on the 150th day - by 9.66% and 8.48%, on the 180th day - 8.8% and 5.04%, on the 210th day - 8.16% and 6.44%, on the 240th day –11.68% and 3.8%, 270th day – 7.72% and 4.84%, on the 300th day – 8.34% and 5.86%. Besides, the average daily egg mass in the 1 and 2 experimental groups was higher than in the control by 4.04 g and 3.1 g or 7.38% and 5.77%; on the 7th day of storage, the average value exceeded by 4.06 g and 3.1 g or 7.53% and 5.87%; on the 14th day - by 4.32 g and 3.16 g, or 8.18% and 6.12%, respectively. It was found that on the 7th day of storage, the mass loss in the 1st and 2nd experimental groups was 1.50% and 1.56%, which is lower than in the control (1.66%). On the 14th day of storage, the mass loss in the 1st and 2nd experimental groups was 1.95% and 2.36%, which is also lower than in the control (2.63%). With the use of the probiotic preparation, the loss in egg mass decreases. On the 7th day of storage, the mass loss in the 1st and 2nd experimental groups was 1.50% and 1.56%, which is lower than in the control group (1.66%). On the 14th day of storage, the mass loss in the 1st and 2nd experimental groups was 1.95% and 2.36%, which is also lower than in the control (2.63%).

The aim of the studies was to conduct a veterinary-hygienic assessment of changes in the eggs productivity of laying hens, after the use of the “Prinarovskaya supplement of fish (DKR)” in their main diet, which is a homogeneous dry mass made from chilled river fish, by-products of fish processings, as well as grain products (wheat bran). The method of production of the additive in-cludes the following steps: grinding, cavita-tion heating and subsequent drying of the resulting mixture. The studied supplement contains a number of amino acids, vitamins and minerals, etc. The object of the study were laying hens of the LomannLsn-Classic breed at the age of 131 days. “Prinarovskaya DKR” were introduced into the diet of ex-perimental laying hens: of the 1st experi-mental group 8 g of “Prinarovskaya DKR” were introduced per 100 g of the main ration (RR); The 2nd experimental group - 6 g. DKR to main ration; 3rd experimental group - 4 g. DKR to main ration; the control group was fed only main ration - feed PK1-1G_1227 (GOST: R 51851-2001). A veteri-nary-hygienic assessment of the quality of eggs, obtained from laying hens, when feed-ing a new feed additive “Prinarovskaya” was carried out. We kept daily records of laid eggs by groups, the period of the beginning of oviposition. The egg production were calculated of the initial and middle laying hens , the egg production intensity for 120 days. To assess egg productivity, the weight of laid eggs, the egg mass for a certain peri-od of egg laying, and the feed costs per 10 laid eggs were determined. Organoleptic, physical, and chemical methods were used to evaluate egg quality. Egg mass is an important indicator of egg nutrition. GOST 31654-2012 "Food eggs. Technical conditions ”, as well as the requirements for chicken hatching eggs, the minimum weight of food and hatching eggs (45 g) is indicated, below which the imple-mentation and incubation of eggs is not rec-ommended [1]. In studies, the following indicators were taken into account: large and small diameter of eggs, egg density, egg shape index of laying hens of different groups. To assess the state of the internal contents of the egg after opening, the follow-ing indicators were taken into account: pro-tein mass, yolk mass, shell mass, egg vol-ume. An external examination of the eggs as-sessed the condition of the shell, the pres-ence of cracks, growths and depressions. The study indicates a positive effect of the feed additive "Prinarovskaya" on the egg produc-tivity of birds in all periods of egg laying

Highdem and for eggs requires a significant increase in production volumes subject to the standards of their quality. One of the components of the egg providing its safety and quality is the shell, which accounts for about 10-12% mass of the egg. The formation of eggs in chickens is a complex process, which is carried out within 24-27 hours, from which about 17-20 hours is given to form the shell. Since the main number of eggs chickens are demolished in the first half of the day, most of the calcification period of the egg shel falls on the dark period of day when the chicken stops to eat. A study was conducted to in vestigate the influence of an increased dose of calcium in the form of limestone particles when feeding it in the afternoon on the productivity and quality of chicken eggs. For this, two groups of laying-hens were formed, the mix feed for which consisted of the same components of cereal and protein-vitamin feeds, but was distingueished by calcium content, namely: in the control group in the mix feed, which was fed both in the morning and in the afternoon, was 3,5% calcium in the form of limestone thin and coarse grinding. The chickens of the experimental group in the morning were fed by mix feed with a calcium content of 1.5%, and in the afternoon - with a calcium content of 7% in the form of coarse limestone. Based on the research, it was found that during the 30-week period of productivity, the survival of chickens in the experimental groups was the same. Chickens of the experimental group reached 95% egg production at the age of 186 days, which his 5 days before the control group. Egg production on the middle and initial laying-hens in the experimental group for the whole production period was 178,4 eggs and 173,3 eggs, which is 6,2 and 7,0 eggs more than in the control group. The feeding of the chickens of the experimental group in the afternoon of mix feeds with an elevated calcium content contributed to an increase in the mass of eggs by 1,7 g, the exit of the egg mass on the middle and the initial laying-hens on 0,66 and 0,7 kg, the number of food eggs categories XL and L on 0,5 and 5.4%, compared with the control group of chickens, which was fed both in the morning and in the afternoon, a mix feed containing 3,5% calcium in the form of limestone thin and coarse grinding.

The efficiency of introducing probiotics based on strains of Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis and their consortium in the amount of 150 g/t of feed into the diets of laying quails has been studied. The experiment lasting 182 days has been carried out on four groups of quails with 30 heads in each. The quails have been housed in the broiler battery in compliance with the required microclimate conditions. Quails of all groups have been received the main diet (compound feed) developed taking into account their age and physiological characteristics. The quails of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd experimental groups in addition to the main diet received probiotics (150 g/t compound feed) based on strains Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis and their consortium, respectively. It has been found that feeding the laying quails of the consortium of strains Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis had the most significant positive impact on their productive performance, it allowed to increase egg production by 7,81 %, egg laying intensity by 5,0 %, egg mass yield by 9,77 %, while reducing feed expenditures for 10 eggs by 13,35 %. The yield of hatching eggs has been increased by 7,03 %, hatchability of chickens from laid and fertilized eggs by 8,33 and 8,35 %, brooding waste decreased by 21,74 %. Hematological parameters of quails during the whole experiment were within the physiological norm. The economic effect calculated on the basis of data on the cost of compound feed, probiotics and the cost of sold eggs of quail laying was 14,56 % in the 3rd experimental group (in relation to the control group).

This study was carried out to evaluate the energy levels in the diet to obtain better performance rates and quality of eggs from laying hens in the second production cycle. One hundred and eighty Bovans Goldline laying hens with 62 weeks of age were used during four 28-day periods. A completely randomized experimental design was used with four metabolizable energy levels (2,650, 2,725, 2,800, 2,875 and 2,950 kcal/kg), each with six replicates of six birds. The energy level of diet did not affect the weight of the egg, yolk, albumen and eggshell, the percentages of yolk, albumen and eggshell, yolk color and egg specific gravity. Feed intake, egg production, egg mass and feed conversion per egg mass and per dozen eggs increased significantly with increasing levels of metabolizable energy. Feed intake decreased linearly as the energy level in the diet increased. The metabolizable energy levels showed a quadratic effect on egg production, egg mass and feed conversion per egg mass and per dozen eggs. The metabolizable energy level of 2,830 kcal/kg was the most appropriate to promote better performance and quality of eggs from laying hens in the second production cycle.

SUMMARY This study was performed to evaluate the effect of the inclusion of paprika and marigold extracts in sorghum-based rations on the productivity and egg quality of laying hens. One hundred sixty laying hens were distributed in a completely randomized design in five treatments and in a factorial arrangement (2 × 2 + 1), one control ration based on corn, two levels of paprika extract (0 and 6 g/kg diet), and two levels of marigold extract (0 and 1 g/kg diet) in sorghum-based rations. There was no effect (P > 0.05) of the treatments on the weight, specific weight, and Haugh unit of the eggs and productive performance, but the inclusion of paprika extract resulted in eggs with lower egg pH. The interaction between the control group and the factorial was significant (P < 0.05) to the laying rate, egg mass, and yolk color, whose values were lower with sorghum-based diets with no pigment compared to control treatment. The interaction between the paprika and marigold extracts was significant increasing the height (P < 0.03) and color (P < 0.0001) of the yolk when paprika extract was used, with or without marigold extract. Marigold extract inclusion reduced the percentage (P < 0.02) and thickness (P < 0.01) of the eggshell. As conclusion, the inclusion of paprika extract in sorghum-based diets for laying hens is viable for improving the egg quality.

Feed Withdrawal

This study was designed to test the effects of feed withdrawal and darkening on the performance, triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and some blood serum metabolite and mineral concentrations of laying hens reared at high ambient temperatures ranging from 25 to 35 °C. Ninety, 16-week-old hens (Ross Brown) were divided into 3 groups, 30 hens each. The first group was used as control. Hens in the second group (feed withdrawal) were subjected to feed removal from 14:00 to 18:00, and hens in the third group (darkening) were subjected to light restriction from 14:00 to 18:00 using black curtains. Liveweight, feed intake, and egg production were higher (P < 0.01) in the feed withdrawal and darkening groups, particularly in the darkening group, than in the control. Water intake was higher in the control group compared with the feed withdrawal and darkening groups (P < 0.01). T3, T4, and TSH concentrations in the serum were higher (P < 0.01), whereas ACTH serum concentration was lower (P < 0.01) in the feed withdrawal and darkening groups compared with the control. The haematocrit was higher in the feed withdrawal and darkening groups compared with the control (P < 0.01). Darkening and feed withdrawal treatments increased serum glucose, urea-N, uric acid, albumin, triglyceride, cholesterol, Ca, P, Na, and K concentrations, also the activities of amylase and alkaline phosphatase, but did not influence the activities of serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) and serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT). The present study found that feed withdrawal and darkening, particularly darkening, at high temperatures during the summer months offer a good management practice to reduce heat stress related depression in feed intake and egg production in laying hens.

ABSTRACTThe use of antibiotics in chicken feed is currently banned because it can cause resistance to pathogenic bacteria and cause residues in products. This study aimed to see the effect of drinking water containing uronic acid extracted from Sargassum crassifolium (S. crassifolium) on the physical and chemical quality of Lohmann chicken eggs. One hundred and twenty laying hens were divided into 2 groups: (1) chickens given commercial feed containing antibiotics and (2) feed without additional antibiotics. The chickens were randomly assigned to one of the 5 brown seaweed supplementation treatments in drinking water A1=0.0% S.crassifolium (control); A2=2.5% S.crassifolium; A3=5.0% S.crassifolium; A4=7.5% S.crassifolium; A5=10.0% S.crassifolium. The study used a completely randomized factorial design of 5 treatments, 2 factors, and 3 replications. Each replication consisted of 6 heads of laying hens. There were no differences between treatments on the performance of laying hens (egg production, egg weight, egg mass, feed conversion); physical quality (eggshell, egg yolk, egg white, shell thickness, egg yolk, Haugh unit, egg index) and chemistry (superoxide dismutase production, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and Lohmann chicken egg cholesterol) but there was a difference in feed intake. The uronic acid extracted from S. crassifolium has not been able to increase the production and quality of Lohmann chicken eggs.Keywords: lohmann chicken, quality of eggs, Sargassum crassifolium, uronic acid

Trace Element Deficiency

The Altai Region along with the regions of the Siberian Federal District belongs to the zone with trace element deficiency including iodine deficiency. The research goal was to study the effect of iodine on edible egg quality of laying hens of the Rodonit cross. At the final stage of egg-laying, 4 groups of 4 laying hens were formed. No iodine was administered to the hens of the 1st control group. Starch-based iodine product was administered to the birds of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th trial groups into the lower third of the neck, under the wing and into the rump area in a dose of 1.5 mg per head. The egg production intensity in the trial groups was higher by 21.3-28.8%. Egg weight in the 1st control group was 65.6 ± 1.33g which was lower than that in the trial groups by 4.4% (2nd group); 3.7% (3rd group) and 1.5% 4th group). All eggs belonged to “select” grade. The 3rd and 4th trial groups had less egg white by 3.8 and 2.7%; the egg-yolk content increases in the eggs of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th trial groups by 1.2%, 9.4% and 2.4%, respectively, and the eggshell weight by 1.2-9.4% as com-pared to the control. The ratio of egg white and egg-yolk weight in the eggs of the trial groups was lower than in the control group by 9.38-19.29%, but the ratio of egg-yolk to egg white was by 10.4-23.9% higher. The following indices were higher in the trial groups as compared to the control: egg white index -by 1.4-17.1%; egg-yolk -by 3.2-6.4%; Haugh unit -by 7.2-11.1%; eggshell thickness -by 3.9-8.3%. The best results were obtained with the administra-tion of iodine to the hens in the region of the lower third of the neck. The enrichment of the body of laying hens of the Rodonit cross with iodine makes it possible to obtain the profitability of edible egg production at the level of 28.6-41.0%.

Нами использован отечественный комплексный пробиотический препарат Иммунофлор, разработанный ООО «ПК КРОС Фарм». На фоне применения указанного препарата установлено, что среднесуточный показатель яйценоскости в 1-й и 2-й опытных группах превосходил таковой в контроле: на 150-е сутки – на 9,66 и 8,48 %, на 180-е сутки – 8,8 и 5,04 %, на 210-е сутки – 8,16 и 6,44 %, на 240-е сутки –11,68 и 3,8 %, на 270-е сутки – 7,72 и 4,84 %, на 300-е сутки – на 8,34 и 5,86 % соответственно. Кроме этого, средний показатель массы яиц в 1-й и 2-й опытных группах оказался выше, нежели в контроле: на 1-е сутки хранения – на 7,38 и 5,77 %; на 7-е сутки – на 7,53 и 5,87 %; на 14-е сутки – на 8,18 и 6,12 % соответственно. Установлено, что в контрольных образцах воздушная камера была меньше на 0,1 мм, чем в образцах опытных групп. Масса белка яиц контрольной группы была меньше на 7,12 и 4,88 %, чем в первой и второй опытных группах соответственно. Масса желтка в контроле была ниже, чем в первой и второй опытных группах на 9,96 и 9,12 % соответственно. Показатели массы скорлупы в первой и второй опытных группах были выше, чем в контрольной группе, на 0,94 и 1,70 % соответственно. Установлено, что на 7-е сутки хранения потеря в массе яиц в 1-й и 2-й опытных группах составила 1,50 и 1,56 % соответственно, что ниже, чем в контроле. На 14-е сутки хранения потеря в массе яиц в 1-й и 2-й опытных группах составила 1,95 и 2,36 %, что также оказалась ниже, нежели в контрольной группе. Следует отметить, что наиболее выраженный соответствующий эффект получен на фоне введения препарата в рацион суточных цыплят с водой. A scientifi c study was conducted in order to realize the productive qualities of the egg-bearing breed of Dekalb White cross hens. We used the domestic complex probiotic preparation of Immunofl or, developed by PK CROS Pharm LLC. Against the background of the use of this drug, it was found that the average daily rate of egg production in the 1 and 2 experimental groups exceeded that in the control: on the 150 day-9.66 and 8.48 %, on the 180 day-8.8 and 5.04%, on the 210 day – 8.16 and 6.44 %, on the 240 day -11.68 and 3.8 %, on the 270 day – 7.72 and 4.84 %, on the 300 day – 8.34 and 5.86 %, respectively. In addition, the average weight of eggs 1 and 2 experimental groups were higher than control at 1 day of storage – by 7.38 and 5,77 %; on day 7 – 7.53 and of 5.87 %; for 14 days – 8.18 and 6.12 %, respectively. It was found that in the control samples, the air chamber was smaller by 0.1 mm than in the samples of the experimental groups. The protein mass of the eggs of the control group was less by 7.12 and 4.88 % than in the fi rst and second experimental groups, respectively. The yolk mass in the control was lower than in the fi rst and second experimental groups by 9.96 and 9.12 %, respectively. The shell mass indicators in the fi rst and second experimental groups were higher than in the control group, by 0.94 and 1.70 %, respectively. It was found that on the 7th day of storage, the loss in egg mass in the 1 and 2 experimental groups was 1.50 and 1.56 %, respectively, which is lower than in the control group. On the 14th day of storage, the loss in egg mass in the 1 and 2 experimental groups was 1.95 and 2.36 %, which was also lower than in the control group. It should be noted that the most pronounced corresponding effect was obtained against the background of the introduction of the drug into the diet of daily chickens with water.
