Comparative effect of preparations Nabikat and Irkutin on the meat productivity of turkeys
This paper presents the results of industrial experience on the study of meat productivity of turkeys when the preparations Nabikat and Irkutin are used. When the feed additive Nabikat containing chelated silicon in its composition is used, the relative gain in live weight of turkeys increased 1.7 times as compared with the group that used the adaptogen Irkutin, and 2.2 times as compared with the control group. The absolute average daily gain in live weight showed the group of turkeys that ate Nabikat was the highest, i.e. 198.2 g; the absolute average daily gain in live weight in the group that ate Irkutin was 118.6 g versus 95.5 g of the gain in the control group
