Šabac, SerbiaABSTRACTThis study reveals the original results <strong>of</strong> an application <strong>of</strong> mineral adsorbent in feeding<strong>of</strong> broiler chickens. The goal <strong>of</strong> research was to determine if mineral adsorbents “Min-azel”<strong>and</strong> “Min-a-zel Plus” have an influence on the dressing <strong>of</strong> slaughtered chickencarcasses when added to broiler feed.The research included 400 broilers, breedCobb 500, divided into 4 groups, taking intoconsideration the level <strong>of</strong> added mineral adsorbent: control group K (100 chickens,without added mineral adsorbent, 0,0%); experimental group O-I (100 chickens, with0,5% Min-a-zel); experimental group O-II (100 chickens with 0,2% Min-a-zel Plus) <strong>and</strong>experimental group O-III (100 chickens, with 0,3% Min-a-zel Plus). The feedingexperiment lasted 42 days.As yield <strong>of</strong> carcases is an important quality parameter, the influence <strong>of</strong> feed treatment onthis characteristic was followed. The research results indicate that chickens from O-Igroup had the best production results <strong>of</strong> chilled carcasses (%), O-III %, O-II % <strong>and</strong> Kgroup % (P) the worst. Differences in values between the groups that were analyzed arealso statistically significant.We can conclude that that the addition <strong>of</strong> mineral adsorbents into feed in broiler feedingresulted in better production results.Key words: broiler feeding, mineral adsorbents, yield, carcassesINTRODUCTIONModern poultry production is the fastest method <strong>of</strong> obtaining quality products <strong>of</strong> animalorigin for human consumption. Optimal <strong>and</strong> healthy food is essential in order to reachfull genetic potential, improvement <strong>of</strong> health <strong>and</strong> chicken productivity. Mycotoxinspresent a distinct problem in animal nutrition. There are various methods <strong>of</strong>decontamination <strong>of</strong> animal feed, <strong>and</strong> the use <strong>of</strong> mineral adsorbents as an inactivator <strong>of</strong>mycotoxins has been mentioned more frequently in recent times.Mycotoxin adsorbents <strong>of</strong> mineral origin, based on natural zeolites with a high content <strong>of</strong>clinoptilite can be effective agents for absorption <strong>of</strong> most <strong>of</strong> the toxic matter in animalfeed (Adamović et al., 2003).According to statements made by numerous authors, the application <strong>of</strong> zeolites as ameans <strong>of</strong> preventing mycotoxicosis in poultry, produces good results in experimental aswell as practical conditions (Radović <strong>and</strong> Bogosavljević-Bošković 2006).271
