Khomenko A. Biotechnology cultivation of Spirulina platensis with using whey and application of algae biomass in growing quail

The dissertation for getting candidate degree in agricultural sciences on specialty 03.00.20 - biotechnology. National agrarian university Ministry of education and science of Ukraine of Bila Tserkva, in 2015. The dissertation is devoted to theoretical and experimental work concerning to the development of biotechnology cultivation of Spirulina platensis on a nutrient medium that containing milk whey and setting the optimum growth parameters proved the effectiveness of the use of biomass as a part of fodder mixed for feeding quail. It was founded that by culturing Spirulina platensis on a nutrient medium containing 3,0 % of milk whey results in increased yield of dry biomass by 89,3 %. At this concentration of the whey in the composition of the nutrient medium in the biomass of Spirulina platensis increases protein content of 1,5 %, and pigments - chlorophyll 3,22 %, phycocyanin 14,8 %. Use in feeding quail from 1 to 22 days of growing with fodder mixed containing 2,0 % and from 23 to 50 days - with containing 3,0 % biomass of Spirulina platensis results in increased body weight of poultry on 3,23 %. Keywords: Spirulina platensis, culture medium, biomass, milk whey, pigments, protein, quail, fodder mixed, weight of poultry.
