THE USE OF HEAT-TREATED LUPINE IN THE DIETS OF LAYING HENS AT THE "AVANGARD" POULTRY FARM

Abstract

In the diets of laying hens, readily available protein is an important component. As the poultry industry grows, so does the need for good quality feed. The problem of finding quality and cheap protein components increases every year. First of all, this happens when the cost of raw materials increases significantly with stable nutritional values; low yields also affect the increase in prices. Each day, many agricultural enterprises monitor the feed market in order to find the most appropriate ingredients for the production of quality feed. This paper examines the effect of feeding a white variety of lupine thermally treated on the performance of laying hens. To study the effect of lupine on the diet of laying hens, a scientific and economic experiment was carried out, two groups of poultry being selected. The control group received a basic diet without lupine and the experimental group received a diet with heat-treated lupine.
