Influence of germanium supplements onfodder on small goose productive quality grown on meat

Abstract

The effect of additives in mixed feeds of different doses of germanium on the productive qualities of goslings grown for meat is studied. All studied doses of introducing germanium into animal fodder contributed to raising the energy of goslings growth, their viability and reduce the cost of fodder per unit of live weight gain, but their effectiveness is proved to be different. The best productive qualities were observed in poultry fed with fodder enriched with germanium at the rate of 0,2 mg/kg.
