Effect of combined sorbent preparation on growth, performance and haematobiochemical alterations in broiler chickens under the influence of T-2 toxin and deoxynivalenol mixed toxicosis
The combined sorbent preparation consists of anthracite, saponite and inactivated yeasts. To determine the detoxification activity of the combined sorbent preparation on the mixed chickens mycotoxicosis, thirty, two-weeks-old chickens cross "Ross 308" were divided into three groups: A (control); B (T-2 toxin and deoxynivalenol); C (T-2 toxin, deoxynivalenol and the combined sorbent preparation). Chickens were weighed every week, hematological and serum biochemical investigations were provided at 28-th and 42-nd day of chicken`s age. Applying of the combined sorbent preparation in T-2 toxin and deoxynivalenol mixed chickens toxicosis at 3 % by weight of the feed, neutralizes the negative effects of mycotoxins on the bird. It manifests high yield carcass weight and lowers the feed conversion, with almost no variations in hematological and serum biochemical parameters of blood.
