Abstract

For the first time, experiments were conducted on meat chickens, which showed the possibility of excluding fish meal from the recipes of mixed feeds, with 5 % reduced levels of lysine (in the form of sulfate), methionine (in the form of methionine hydroxyanalog) and metabolic energy relative to the recommendations. The chickens of the experimental groups received similar rations with the replacement of fish meal with soy processing products (group 2), sunflower processing products (group 3) and soy and sunflower processing products in a ratio of 50:50 (group 4). The productivity of a bird by 40-50 % is determined by the intake of energy into its body, and its lack is a more common cause of low productivity compared to other nutrients.
It was found that the use of lysine in the form of sulfate and methionine in the form of its hydroxyanalog in compound feeds for meat chickens did not have a negative impact on incubation indicators and egg quality, which allows for high safety, productivity of poultry and an increase in the yield of daily young while reducing incubation waste.
