The issue of using environmentally safe organic concentrate in quail feeding has been addressed. The practical significance of the study lies in the introduction of an organic concentrate, made from processed and disinfected litter, into the poultry rations.
One of the key directions for improving the nutritional value and availability of compound feeds for poultry is the search for import-substituting feeds and feed additives obtained from non-traditional raw materials suitable for use in poultry farming.
In this regard, the goal of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of using an organic protein additive in quail feeding. The experiment was conducted on "Pharaoh" breed quails at the "Agrocenter" poultry farm.
It was established that the inclusion of the feed additive at a level of 5.0% and 10.0% of the compound feed mass did not have a negative effect on its consumption level. Feeding compound feed containing 5.0% protein concentrate resulted in a 14.2% increase in the productivity of quails in the second experimental group compared to the control group. At the same time, in the third experimental group, where the concentrate accounted for 10.0%, the productivity indicators were lower than in the control.
The highest egg production rates (both initial and average) were recorded in the second experimental group. Quails in the third group lagged behind the second group in these indicators but exceeded the control group. A similar trend was observed regarding feed expenditure per unit of production. The lowest feed expenditure per 1 kg of egg mass was established in the quails of the second group – 3.38 kg, which is 7.4% less compared to the control group.
The use of an organic protein concentrate based on dry poultry litter is promising, environmentally friendly, and economically viable. Its addition to quail rations at a level of 5% increases productivity, improves egg quality, and reduces feed consumption, which makes it advisable to recommend this additive for practical use in poultry farming.
