Abstract
The article presents the results of studies on the influence of the domestic feed additive “Fitodoс®Carnitine” on the dynamics of live weight and meat productivity of quails. Experimental studies were carried out in the vivarium of the Department of Parasitology and Veterinary and Sanitary Expertise. 3 groups of quails of the “Texas quail” breed were formed, 20 heads each, the 1st and 2nd experimental groups of quails with water were given a feed additive in a dose of 1 ml/l of water for 14 and 28 days, respectively, the third group of quails was control. As a result of the research, it was found that in quails of the 1st experimental group, compared with the control and 2nd experimental groups, a more intensive increase in live weight was observed. Thus, by the final stage of the experiment, the intensity of live weight gain in the studied groups of poultry was: in the control group 98.06 g; in birds of the 1st and 2nd experimental groups 101.08 g and 96.48 g, respectively. The highest slaughter yield of gutted carcasses was 79.5% in the 2nd experimental group of quails, which exceeded the indicators of the control and 1st experimental groups by 1.4 and 6.5%
