The increase of the number of conditional young guinea fowl after the use of stimulants before incubation

Abstract

The increase of the efficiency of poultry farming is currently an urgent task for the agricultural sector. Therefore, the demand for the use of environmentally friendly and efficient technologies to achieve the above task is very vast. It is well known that the efficiency of the poultry industry depends on the performance indicators, wich must be improved to increase the profitability of the industry. So, one of the important links in the production technology is the hatchery, the task of which is to ensure the stable supply of conditioned young stock to the growing workshop and to obtain hatching indicators not lower than the standards. Therefore, the use of knowledge-intensive methods that increase the quantity and quality of young stock will contribute to a significant profit for the industry. Guinea fowl farming is a relatively new area of poultry farming requiring growth and development, in which there is a great need to improve incubation biocontrol indices. The aim of the research was to increase the number of conditioned young guinea fowl by pre-incubation treatment of eggs with a composition of biostimulants (colamine, succinic acid, serine and pyridoxine hydrochloride). The production experience was carried out on eggs of gray-speckled guinea fowls in one of the guinea fowl farms of the Kaluga region. In carrying out the research, generally accepted methods were used. The use of biostimulants composition before incubation of guinea fowl eggs made it possible to reduce the amount of incubation waste, increase the live weight of guinea fowls by 11.2%, and also improve the quality of the resulting youngs. This made it possible to optimize the economic component of guinea fowl production by obtaining a larger number of conditioned young stock. Thus, the economic effect from the use of the composition of biostimulants amounted to 1,636.05 rubles. This indicates not only the stimulating effect of the composition used, but also an increase in profits.
