Merzlov S. Parameters correction of wormcultivation biotechnology and reglamentation of use of worm biomass and saponite in broiler chickens meat production

The object of investigation - the possibility of using natural mineral saponite as a basic element of realizing genetic potential of vermiculture in one of the branches of bioconversional complexes and the expedience of using сalifornian worms as a protein additive to the ration of broiler chickens. The purpose of investigation - The research is aimed at studying absorbing characteristics of saponite, ionexchanging characteristics and bioaccessibility of metals which are components of this mineral as well as studying possibilities of using this mineral as a source of biometals with the purpose of improving vermiculture biotechnology, discovering the influence of worm biomass grown on saponite based nutrient medium, and saponite itself on productiviti, product quality and the processes of metabolism in broiler chickens. The method of investigation - chemical, biotechnological, physiological and biochemical, zootechnical, mathematical and statistic. Scientific novelty - The properties of natural mineralsaponite exracted from Tashkiv mineral deposit (Khmelnitskyy region) have been studied, the amount of active and less active forms of heavy metals, the ability of macro- and microelements which imitate pH level in alimentary canal to be axtracted into solutions has been researched. Saponite properties in terms of absorbing toxic metals and the ability of the metals eliminated from the mineral to form organic and mineral compounds with oligopeptides. For the first time the possibility of saponite usage for improving vermiculture biotechnology by means of optimizihg the nutrient medium composition was experimentally proved. The usage of vermiculture grown on saponite lased substratum in feeding broiler chickens has been tested and researched. It has been found out that adding the maximum amount of mineral into the nutrient medium used for growing californian worms promotes their productivity increase and adding the worm biomess obtained by means of vermiculturing into broiler chickens ration produces positive effect on metabolism and productivity in chickens and quality of product obtained. Results - physical and chemical properties of saponite and bioaccessibility of metals it contains have been researched, the necessity of optimising substratum mineral composition for red californian worm hybrid and the possibility of worm biomass and saponite usage while producing broiler chicken meat have been substantiated. There was proposed: the new appwaches in studying saponite properties, the method of improving vermiculture biotechnology and increasing broiler chickens productivity while using worm biomass in feeding chichens. There was introduced "Recommendations in term of using saponite extracted from Tashkiv mineral deposit in Khmelnitskyy region for adjusting parametres of vermiculture biothecnology". The sphere of usage: biothechnology to be usedin animal husbandry.
