Increasing head safety in broiler chickens when using probiotic Probiocid-Ultra under infection conditions of Clostridium perfringens

Abstract

To prevent bacterial infections in birds, poultry farms often use feed antibiotics. Based on this, residues are often registered in products from such birds, which is dangerous for humans. Dietary supplements help to safely replace antibiotics and produce environmentally friendly products. They have a positive effect on the body of poultry: improve intestinal and microbial balance and, consequently, increase their safety and productivity.The aim of the work was to study the ability of "Probiocid® Ultra" to inhibit the development of Clostridium perfringens. In the conditions of vivariums on the basis of SRCC of poultry farming experiment with chickens-broilers of cross "Ross-308" was put. Daily chickens were divided into 3 groups of 40 chickens at random - 2 control groups and the group, in the diet of which was introduced a complex of additional food "Probiocid® Ultra".The birds were kept in the vivarium for 38 days. The microclimate, lighting, feeding and watering front complied with the requirements of Ross-308 cross. Since the age of 15 days 1 control group and the group with complex of additional feeding were infected with Clostridum perfringens at the dose of 1 billion microbial bodies per head. As a result of the experiment it was found that the studied Probiocid-Ultra has a positive effect on the poultry organism. When introducing this complex of supplementary nutrition in the diet of broilers under condi tions of Clostridium perfringens infection, a significantly higher preservation of livestock compared with the infected control was observed. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of the complex "Probiocid® Ultra" is able to protect poultry under conditions of high pathogenic load on the body.
