NITRATES AND NITRITES IN THE RATIONS OF THE CHICKENS-BRAULERS

Abstract

Studied has been the influence of nitrates and nitrites, containing in the mixed fodders, on the growth, some indicators of the substances exchange and the quality of the braulers meat; the methods of reduction of the growth-supressing effect of the nitrates have been developed. The tolerable doeses of the nitrates (400 mg nitrat-ion) and nitrites (5 mg of nitrite-ion) in the mixed fodders for the braulers have been determined. For the reduction of the nitrate-toxicoses it was recommended to use santochin or vitamin E, or methionin. The results of the investigations have been included in the design of the "Methodical Recommendations on the Birds Meat Quality Control"Available from VNTIC / VNTIC - Scientific & Technical Information Centre of RussiaSIGLERURussian Federatio
