Assessment of the effect of natural zeolite on the dynamics of body weight growth, glandular and muscular stomach of geese

The article examines the effect of natural zeolite on the dynamics of body weight growth, glandular and muscular stomach of geese. The results obtained during the experiment showed that the intensive growth of body weight in the studied bird continues until the age of sixty days, and in the second experimental group, a higher, 1.04-fold peak in the intensity of body weight growth is recorded at the age of twenty days. The indicators of the growth dynamics of the glandular and muscular stomach of geese reach their maximum values at the age of twenty days, their weight is higher by 9.3% and 2.2%, the peak intensity of mass growth by 8.2% and 1.8%, the average daily increase by 16.3% and 3.6%, thus, the mass of the glandular stomach increases more intensively than the muscular one.
