Biological and productive indicators of meat quails when feeding sorbent and enzyme drug to reduce the risk of afl atoxicosis

In quail breeding, an important direction in eliminating the negative impact of aflatoxins on all aspects of metabolism and the production of full-complete meat products is the use of sorbent drugs and multienzyme complexes (MEC) in poultry feeding for the detoxifi cation of this mycotoxin. The purpose of the research was to determine the biological and productive indicators of meat quails when feeding a sorbent and an enzyme preparation to reduce the risk of afl atoxicosis. The eff ect of Detox sorbent and Celloviridin G20x enzyme drug when introduced into compound feed for meat quails based on barley and soybeans with a tolerant level of afl atoxin B1 on livability, growth rate, hematological parameters and the content of vitamins A, E and C in the blood and liver samples was studied. It was found that in order to improve the livability rate of the livestock, growth rate and activate the processes of intermediate metabolism, it is advisable to simultaneously introduce Detox sorbent at a dose of 1500 g/t and MEC Celloviridin G20x at a dose of 1000 g/t of compound feed (3rd experimental group) into the composition of compound feed for meat quails based on locally produced barley and soybean grains with a tolerant level of aflatoxin B1. Due to this, the quails of the 3rd experimental group had relative to the control higher livability rate of the livestock by 5.0 abs.%, average daily weight gain by 13.3 % (p < 0.05). At the same time was observed the quails of the 3rd experimental group compared to the quails of the control group signifi cantly (p < 0.05) increased in blood hemoglobin by 3.68 g/l and the number of erythrocytes by 0.69×1012/l; total protein by 3.91 g/l, lysozyme by 2.93 %, bactericidal activity of blood serum by 9.92 %, with a decrease in the concentration of total lipids by 39.39 % and cholesterol by 26.61 %. Compared to the control, quails of the 3rd experimental group showed a signifi cant (p < 0.05) increase in the content of vitamin A in the blood by 46.83 % and liver by 42.55 %; vitamin E in the blood by 22.62 % and liver by 16.82 %; vitamin C in the blood by 54.12 % and liver by 72.63 %.
