PREVENTION OF MYCOTOXICOSIS IN CHICKEN BROILERS WHEN USED IN THE DIET OF FEED CONTAMINATED WITH MYCOTOXINS
The purpose of the study is to study the possibility of the use of feed additive "Biobardin" (3-5%) with antimicrobial properties in feed for chicken broilers to reduce the negative impact of mycotoxins of mold fungi Fusarium graminearum, F. sporotrichiella, F. poae and F. moniliforme contained in the feed on the main indicators of poultry productivity and to prevent mycotoxicosis. Positive effect of 5% feed additive in the diet is shown. A bird suffering from chronic forms of mycotoxicosis absorbed nutrients more effectively than a bird that consumed similar feed without studied additives. The possibility of reducing the consequences of chronic mycotoxicosis in poultry by 25-50% has been established. The result of inclusion in moderately polluted mixed feed of all tested levels of "Biobardin" was an increase in microbiological destruction of mycotoxins in the digestive tract of poultry and a decrease in the alimentary load of toxins of mold fungi on the body. Inclusion of 5% of "Biobardin" in mycotoxin-contaminated mixed feed of broiler chickens allows to compensate 10-30% decrease in basic indices of poultry productivity caused by relatively high content of mycotoxins in feed, which turned out to be higher than when using the same amount of fish flour.
