SANITARY AND HYGIENIC EVALUATION OF THE USE OF PREPARATIONS FOR PROTECTING POULTRY FROM PATHOGENIC MICROFLORA AND ENSURING THE PROPER QUALITY AND SAFETY OF POULTRY PRODUCTS

Abstract

For efficient breeding of poultry, its maintenance must be arranged in such a way that it does not prevent the bird from fully realizing its genetic potential. At this stage of the development of poultry farming in Ukraine, two methods are used for keeping chickens - in cage batteries and floor keeping, but at the moment the most developed for growing, keeping and producing edible chicken eggs is cage keeping. As a result of the conducted research, a comparative assessment was made between the two- and three-tier keeping of chickens in cage batteries designed by Nizhynsilmash JSC and VO Techna LLC, which allows us to state that both one and the other method of keeping poultry in cage batteries allow for unhindered control of feeding processes , feeding, microclimate regulation, litter removal and egg collection. The author concluded that keeping chickens in two- or three-tier cage batteries has a positive effect and does not create a negative impact on the environment and on the laying hens themselves. Abroad, the maintenance of industrial flocks of chickens takes place in 2-3 tiered batteries on a mesh or slatted floor, which according to the laws of those countries meets all the requirements for keeping poultry. The equipment for keeping poultry must comply with the following technological processes, such as: storage of dry feed, feeding and distribution of feed, preparation of water, supply of water, removal of droppings from the place of keeping poultry and its removal outside the territory of

the poultry house, collection of eggs from laying hens and parent stocks 'I. Chickens should be kept and raised in poultry houses with a regulated microclimate.According to the data, an alternative to conventional cage batteries should be "improved" cage batteries, which are equipped with a nest, perch and bedding material, and provide each hen with 600 cm2 of suitable area. promising and relevant trends in industrial poultry farming will be the introduction of technologies that minimize the use of chemical synthesis drugs (antibiotics, productivity stimulants) during poultry breeding and food production and at the same time will be as close as possible to natural conditions where animals can fully realize their genetic potential.
