INFLUENCE OF THE DEVELOPED ENRICHED FEED ON THE MORPHOLOGICAL INDICATORS OF QUAIL EGGS

Abstract

This article presents the results of a study on the effect of enriched feed on the morphological parameters of quail eggs. The experiment was carried out on the basis of quail farms. The choice of the principle for constructing the scheme of experience is one-factor. According to the principle of analogues, 2 groups of birds were formed- control (CG) and experimental (EG). The keeping of the birds was the same, the differences were only in feeding. In the mass of eggs, no differences were found between the groups, the ratio of protein to yolk was 1.38±0.10 in the CG and 1.43±0.08 in the EG. A significant difference between groups was observed in term of yolk color (P<0.05). When evaluating egg quality indicators, a high positive correlation was established between egg mass and egg white mass, the ratio of egg white to yolk. As a result of the study, it was found that quails fed with the developed Layer feed had twice the number of eggs than the feed used on the farm. Thus, the use of the developed feed allows not only to increase egg productivity, but also to maintain the morphological parameters of quail eggs within the normal range.
