Heysun A. Biotechnology of obtaining vermiculture biomass under the influence of Humilid and its use for pheasant chicks raising. ? Qualifying scientific paper printed as a manuscript

The object of the study is the biotechnological process of stimulating the growth of biomass worms for the influence of biologically active substances of humic nature and its use as a protein additive to the mixed fodder of pheasant hunting. The subject of the study is the functional and correlation links of the indicators of the biotechnological process of vermiculturing, the enzymatic activity of the biomass of vermiculture, the physico-chemical characteristics of the worm biomass, the composition of the biohumus, the reproductive function of the red Californian worm, the live weight of the body of young pheasants, and the morpho-functional parameters of blood pheasanit. Methods of research - biotechnological, physiological, morphological, hematological, biochemical, chemical, microbiological, zootechnical, and statistical. For the first time a study was conducted on the use of a biologically active additive of humic origin "Gumilide" in the nutritional substrate for vermicultivation and its optimal quantitative range was established. It was found that the addition to the nutritional substrate of the optimal amount of Gumilid contributes to the activation of the reproductive function of the Red Californian worm against the background of accelerating the transformation of the substrate by increasing the activity of hydrolytic enzymes and a greater accumulation of protein in the biomass of vermiculture. It has been shown for the first time that the influence of Gumilid in the process of vermiculture in the biomass of vermiculture decreases the content of heavy metals (Plumbum, Cadmium, Kuprum) due to the formation of their difficult soluble, inaccessible forms. For the first time, the biomass of the red Californian worm, which was obtained on a nutrient substrate with the addition of Gumilide, was used as a feed additive for the cultivation of pheasant hunting. The scientific novelty of the obtained results is confirmed by the declarative patent of Ukraine on the utility model (No. 120540).
