Influence of mineral additives on weight quality turkeys

The paper describes the results of studies of the use of mineral supplements on the growth of body weight of turkeys. The aim of the research was the determination of the mass of the bird's body, depending on the application, together with compound feeds and mineral supplements. Studies were conducted on turkeys, on the principle of pairs of analogues, two groups of birds were formed, 10 heads in each group. The first group - the control group received a basic diet. Turkeys of the first experimental group were prescribed the drug CSP RM (4% of the main diet) together with the drug HEAD (4% of the main diet). Turkeys of the second experimental group were prescribed the drug HEAD in the amount of 4 % of the main diet. In the course of our studies, it was found that the average daily gain in live weight for the entire period of the experiment was: in the control group - 57.79 g, in the experimental group - 67.86 g.The increase in the average daily gain in live weight of turkeys of the experimental group, compared with the control group, was 17.42%. For the entire period of cultivation (1-150 days.) the growth rate of turkeys in the experimental group was 171.84% in the control group of 146.85%.
