Keywords:
chickens, organic copper, manganese, zinc, chelating compounds, allocation of trace elements, productivity.
Abstract
The concentrations of copper and manganese in the ingredients used in broiler feed are low and usually insufficient to meet nutritional requirements. Inorganic mineral sources such as sulfates and oxides are widely used due to their high commercial availability and low cost. However, sulfates are known to have low bioavailability due to their high aqueous solubility and antagonistic interactions with other minerals and nutrients in the diet. This study is devoted to determining the effect of chelated metals on the performance of chickens. Among the research methods used were abstraction, analysis and synthesis, modeling, as well as methods of empirical research, in particular, poultry observation and comparison of results, measurement of indicators, experiment. Within the framework of the conducted research, no significant differences were recorded in the feed consumption of poultry of the control and experimental groups during the first seven days. On the eighth day, the poultry, which was on the control diet with included microelements Zn, Mn, Cu in small quantities, began to decrease the level of feed consumption, which subsequently led to a decrease in body growth indicators, that is, symptoms of microelement deficiency appeared. Live weight gain and feed conversion ratio were positively affected by organic supplements, however, no significant difference (P > 0.05) was found in body weight gain between organic micronutrients and inorganic control. In the medium organic diet, the feed conversion ratio (P < 0.01) was higher than in the control diet due to relatively lower feed intake. In the conditions of providing a highly organic diet, no additional data were obtained regarding live weight gain and feed conversion ratio. As for the excretion of trace elements, the excretion of Zn, Mn, Cu had a tendency to increase (P <0.001) in accordance with the increase in the consumption of the above-mentioned trace elements. Poultry fed a medium organic diet had lower (P < 0.001) trace element excretion compared to poultry fed a high organic diet. The results of the study showed that a supplement of 4 mg of Cu and 40 mg of Mn and Zn from organic sources may be sufficient for normal growth of poultry in a twenty-day period. The use of several times less amount of organic microelements in poultry diets will avoid a high level of excretion of microelements into the environment.
