THE USE OF VITAFORT AND LACTOBIFADOL PROBIOTICS IN TURKEY CHICKS GROWING
The results of studies on using the Vitafort and Lactobifadol probiotics included into the diets of turkey chicks from one day to 42 days age are submitted in the article. It was found that the use of the above probiotics had positive influence on the chicks’ performance, their live weight and growth intensity. The blood parameters of birds were also improved. With the increase of total protein content in blood serum of turkey chicks fed the probiotics, especially at the age of 42 days, the redistribution of protein fractions in blood serum in the direction of decreased number of albumins and increase of globulins, mainly those of β- and γ-globulins, was observed. By the chemical content of muscular tissue in 42-days old turkey chicks there was not observed any reliable distinctions concerning the content of moisture, dry substance, fat, protein and ashes.
