Egg productivity of quails with the inclusion of zeolites and mycotoxin-acted grain, treated by microwave in their diets

The article presents the results of a study of the effect of feeding feed, including grain bran containing mycotoxins and subjected to microwave treatment, in combination with zeolites and separately, on the egg production of quails. The studies were carried out on quails 30 days old, divided into 5 groups, two of which were control (biological control and negative control) and three experimental. It was found that microwave treatment of grain containing mycotoxins in a dose not exceeding the maximum permissible concentration, separately and in combination with zeolite, helps to increase the egg production of birds by 40-142 %, improve the morphological parameters of eggs and the condition of the shell and, as a result, reduce the number of eggs with defects shells by 41-67 %.
