In assessing the productivity of the parent flock, one of the most important indicators is the productivity of brood males. For the productive use of brood males, the interspiking method is used. Interspiking is the exchange of 25–30% of males between sections of the house of the same flock, which produces a similar response to increased mating activity as in normal stocking. The effect lasts for 6-8 weeks. The advantage of interspiking is that the males that are swapped are already trained to mate, have the same mass and maturity as the bulk of the males in the house, which significantly increases their chances of success. During the research period, two groups of birds of the parent flock of the Cobb-500 cross were formed using the analog pair method. In the first group, normal mating was used. And in the second group, the interspiking method was used at the age of 36 weeks, in which 25% of the males from the total population were exchanged between poultry houses. The conditions for keeping and feeding the parent flock were the same. Live weight indicators in the second group slightly exceed those of the first group. Thus, the live weight of females after entering the parent herd workshop in the first group was 2194 g, and males - 2793 g, in the second group - 2240 and 2997 g, respectively. At the age of 36 weeks, the live weight of chickens in the second group was higher by 1.8% (3420 g), cockerels - by 0.8%, and amounted to 4012 g. Fertility of eggs in group II is higher by 1.2% (84.9%) than in the first (83.7%), hatchability in group II slightly exceeds this indicator by 0.5% than in group I and amounted to 87, 2 and 86.7%, respectively. The hatching of day-old chickens in group I was 72.6%, in group II it increased by 1.4% and amounted to 74%. Safety in both groups was at a high level and amounted to 92.9 and 93.2%. The gross collection of eggs in group I amounted to 2087.83 thousand pieces, in group II - 2272.34 thousand pieces.
