INVESTIGATION OF POSSIBILITY OF USING COMPONENTS CONTAINING CAROTENOIDS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF MIXED FODDERS FOR CARP
Traditional and non-traditional components of mixed fodders for carp are investigated. The content of carotenoids in them has been determined. Recipes have been worked out and mixed fodders which include components containing the greatest number of carotenoids have been developed. Feeding of commodity carp with mixed fodders that include fodder supplements - coloring agents «Eco Gold» and «Cantaxanthin» was carried out. The analysis of carp muscles was also done. Optimum dosages of supplements «Eco Gold» and «Cantaxanthin» and time for carp feeding have been determined.
