EFFECT OF DIFFERENT DOSAGES OF "VITAMMIN" SUPPLEMENT ON PRODUCTIVITY OF YOUNG GEESE
The purpose of research is to study the productivity of young geese when using the feed additive "Vitammin". The study was carried out on the basis of the PFE "Popov S.N." Shumikhinsky District of Kurgan Region on young geese, which were distributed at day-old age into 3 groups. Each group was selected for 500 goslings. Geese were hybrids of Shadrinskaya and Italian white breeds. Keeping conditions, stocking density, feeding and drinking area, microclimate parameters in all groups were equal. The poultry rearing period was 60 days. The difference was considered significant at P ≤ 0.05. The young geese of the control group consumed the main diet, the 1st experimental - the diet with the addition of "Vitammin" at a dose of 0.7 ml/l of water; and the 2nd experimental - a diet with the addition of "Vitammin" at a dose of 1.0 ml/l of water. It was found that goslings that consumed "Vitammin" were characterized by a higher live weight, gross and average daily gain (by 5.23 (P <0.001) and 5.12 % (P <0.001)), a higher yield of gutted carcass by 1.75 (P <0.05) and 1.40 %, the number of edible parts of the carcass and muscle tissue (by 9.11 and 8.53 %, respectively), including pectoral muscles (by 12.61 and 12.27 %, respectively) in comparison with young growth of the control group. The best of the above indicators were characteristic of the goslings of the 1st experimental group, which consumed the supplement "Vitammin" at a dosage of 0.7 ml/l of water, in comparison with the 2nd experimental group, which consumed the additive at a dosage of 1.0 ml/l of water.
