The impact of Immuguard immune amplifier on the growth-weight indices of broilers and the meat quality

The results of studies of the influence of ImmunGuard immunostimulating drug on some productive indicators of broiler chickens are presented. The immunostimulator of the foreign company Micron Bio-Systems was developed due to the combination of different fermentation products of selected strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and fructooligosaccharides; is designed to improve immunity, promote gastrointestinal health, improve the condition and productivity of animals and birds. The maintenance and feeding of broiler chickens was carried out in the conditions of the vivarium of the Institute of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnology of the State Pedagogical University of Omsk State University. For the experiment from the general conclusion, three analog groups were formed: two experimental groups and one control group with 30 heads each. Conditions of maintenance, feeding and drinking of all groups were the same. Access to water and feed was free. In the diet of the experimental groups, ImmuGuard immunostimulating agent was added, added at a dosage of 150 g/ton water for the I group and 250 g/t water for the II group for 18 days from the hatching, and the III group served control. The weighing was carried out every 7 days for 5 birds from each group. Analyzing the indices of the whole experiment and at the end of the accounting period, an increase in the live weight of broiler chickens grown with the use of the ImmuGuard diet was noted: the 1st test group exceeded the control by 4.1 %, and the 2nd test group by 1.4 % respectively. On the basis of the obtained data on meat productivity it follows that the average weight of the gutted broiler carcass of the I-st test group was higher by an average of 4.56 %, of the second test group by 1.05 % compared to the carcasses of the control group. The determination of the veterinary and sanitary quality of meat has shown that the inclusion of ImmuGuard in the broiler chickens diet improves their meat production, and the quality of meat meets the requirements of GOST R 51944-2002.
