MEAT PRODUCTIVITY OF BROILER-CHICKENS RAISED BY DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES
The evaluation data demonstrating meat performance of Habbard Broiler-chickens reared by using different technologies are presented in the article. It is found that from the viewpoint of using the traditional battery system of Broiler-chickens growing it is possible to produce poultry meat at a high level. The latest developed modern technologies allow the efficiency of poultry plants' production to be significantly enhanced, including the growing of young birds by the Patio system. The slaughter weight of 40-days old carcasses of young birds raised by using this technology was 4.7% higher than that of their analogues grown by the traditional technology. The carcasses of Broilers grown by the Patio system contained 6.5% more muscular tissue than the traditionally reared birds. The profitability of the above system of poultry-raising was 12.047 thousand rubles, this surpassing the profits obtained in the group of young birds grown by the traditional technology at 1.032 rubles (9.4% and even more), the profitability rate being 43.0 against 41.3%.
