Keywords: lysine, threonine, feed, broiler chickens, live weight, growth, feed conversion

Abstract

The article presents the results of research on the influence of different levels and ratios between lysine and threonine in the feed of broiler chickens on growth indicators and feed consumption. Research was conducted by the group method. Broiler chickens of the «Cobb-500» hybrid were divided into 6 groups, 100 heads each. In the first three groups of birds, against the background of the basic level of lysine, the content of threonine in the feed increased. In the other three groups of chickens, the content of both lysine and threonine in the feed was increased. It was established that an increase in the level of threonine in the feed of broiler chickens to 0.83% against the background of the basic level of lysine – 1.24% in the first age period – 1–10 days led to an increase in the weight of birds by 0.6–0.7% (p ˂0.01). An increase in the threonine level to 0.78% with a lysine content of 1.14% at the age of 11–22 days led to an increase in the weight of experimental birds by 0.6–1.8% (р˂0.05). With an increase in the content of threonine in compound feed to 0.76%, against the background of 1.09% lysine in the third age period – 23–42 days, the weight of the bird increased by 0.7–0.8% (р˂0.05). Absolute and average daily weight gain rates increased by 0.7–0.8% (р˂0.05) and relative growth by 46–49% over the entire period of the experiment. Feed conversion decreased by 0.4–0.5 . Increasing the level of threonine against the background of the basal level of lysine, as well as increasing the level of lysine against the background of the background of threonine, probably did not affect the growth performance of broiler chickens, but the live weight increased by 0.1–0.2%. Feed conversion decreased only at the maximum level of threonine against the background of the basic level of lysine – by 0.4%. At lower levels of threonine and at increased levels of lysine on the background of the basic level of threonine, feed conversion did not change. The influence of the lysine-threonine ratio on the productivity indicators of broiler chickens has not been established. In broiler chickens that consumed higher levels of the studied amino acids with a lysine-threonine ratio of 0.65–0.67; 0.67–0.68; 0.68–0.70 (in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd age periods, respectively) noted higher weight and growth rates compared to counterparts that feed with a similar lysine-threonine ratio: 0.66–0.69; 0.67–0.71 and 0.69–0.72, but with a lower content of lysine and threonine in compound feed.
