REALIZATION OF THE PRODUCTIVITY OF BROILERS OF FOREIGN CROSSES IN POULTRY HOUSES WITH AN OPTIMIZED MICROCLIMATE

Abstract

Broiler poultry farming is one of the most dynamically developing sectors of Russia's agro-industrial complex. In the context of intense competition and growing poultry meat consumption, the issues of increasing productivity, improving housing conditions, and selecting optimal broiler crosses have become especially relevant.

Modern poultry farming faces the necessity of sustainable productivity growth while maintaining product quality and reducing production costs. The relevance of this research lies in the importance of selecting highly productive broiler crosses combined with the optimization of the microclimate in poultry houses.

During the experiment, the impact of uniform air distribution on the rearing of "Cobb-500" and "Ross-308" broiler crosses under improved microclimate conditions was studied. The results showed that the "Cobb-500" cross had higher live weight, better feed conversion, and improved survival rates compared to "Ross-308." This indicates a higher adaptability of this cross to conditions with even air exchange and stabilized temperature.

The advantages of "Cobb-500" under such conditions make it a preferable choice for use in modern poultry farms. The obtained data can be used to improve housing technologies and the selection of genetic material, which is crucial for enhancing the profitability and sustainability of meat poultry farmin
