The application of protein hydrolysates in rabbit breeding and their influence on the quality and safety of meat
There are presented materials on the use of feed additives based on protein hydrolysates of plant origin (Abiopeptide and Abiotonic) in rabbit breeding, as well as the results of organoleptic studies and determination of safety indicators and biological value of the resulting meat. It was noted that the feed additives Abiopeptide and Abiotonik contributed to an increase in the live-weight of rabbits, which, on average, in animals of the 1st experimental group (Abiopeptide) reached - 3.35 kg, the 2nd (Abiotonic) - 3, 42 kg and in control - 3.08 kg. The analysis of the obtained results showed that the average daily increase in the live-weight of rabbits in the 1st group was 42.6 ± 5.23 g, the 2nd - 44 ± 7.44 g, and in the control - 38.2 ± 5.33 g , which by 11.5% and 15.2%, respectively, exceeded the increase in body weight of control animals. It has been established that in terms of organoleptic characteristics, the meat of rabbits of the experimental and control groups meets the requirements of good-quality meat that meets the requirements of GOST 20235.0-74 “Rabbit meat. Sampling methods. Organoleptic methods of quality assessment”. When examining the toxicity and biological value of meat, its negative effect on the growth and survival of the test culture Tetrachimena pyri-formis was not established. Rabbit meat complies with the requirements of SanPiN 2.3.3.1078-01 "Hygienic requirements for the safety and nutritional value of food", p. 1.1.1, 1.1.1.1.
