USE OF ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF COMPONENTS IN COMPOUND FEED FOR POULTRY

Abstract

Saturation of feed rations for different age groups of birds should ensure the ability of animals to perform their industrial functions. The main task is to increase the effectiveness of the use of components in the diet and make the best quality feed.  When substantiating the principle of compound feed production during its manufacture and the formation of feed for birds, it is necessary to take into account the mutual influence of many structural, kinematic and nutritional indicators, taking into account the needs of birds and the physical and mechanical properties of the processed material in the manufacture of feed. Currently, the use of corn stalks in the manufacture of feed for different types of animals occurs in two main areas:  - preservation of either whole or crushed rods, requiring the introduction of several methods of preliminary preparation, which should include drying, ensiling, chemical preservation, active ventilation, as well as natural or artificial air cooling, and others; - production of crushed grain - core mixture from pre-threshed raw materials.
