In the experimental work, we studied the effect of the
inulin prebiotic on the growth, development and
efficiency of growing broiler chickens of the Isa cross.
In accordance with the scheme of the experiment, the
first control group was fed a complete feed (CF) by
periods of growth. In the second group, inulin was
added to the CF for the first 21 days of growth. In the
third group prebiotic was added to the CF at the same
rate throughout the whole period of rearing the chicks
(42 days). In the second and third groups, we found the
tendency to increase the intensity of growth rate in
poultry by 1.6 and 3.0%, respectively, compared with
the control. Feed costs for weight gain were decreased
by 2.1-2.7%. In the chime of the blind processes of the
intestine of the chickens of 2-3 experimental groups it
was found the reduction of staphylococci and
enterococci CFU, while similar to the control group
lactobacilli CFU. The muscle tissue in the chickens of
experimental groups had greater protein content. The
optimal range of indicators is the use of inulin for the
first 21 days of rearing poultry. Because of the
production audit, an increase in live weight of chickens
was found, in the experimental group by 2.7% (p ≤
0.05), a decrease of feed costs by 7.5%, increase of the
survival rate of poultry by 2.0% and profitability by
3.1%
