IMPROVING THE PROPERTİES OF EGG SHELLS THROUGH THE USE OF Vitamin D

Abstract

In the work presented by us, we conducted a comparative study of the dried egg shells of chickens grown from broiler eggs with the shells of other chicken eggs (Siyazan Broiler JSC, Shafa Mılls Broiler, MERCAN). It was determined how feeding chickens with Vitamin D supplements affects the shell. The importance of Vitamin nutrition is fully explained and standard solutions are defined. One of the main tasks of the Republic of Azerbaijan is to achieve a leading position in the global food market, and we have developed and provided a scheme for feeding chickens to achieve the best result. Thus, we have proved that when Vitamin D is used as an additive to compound feed of parent flock hens and broiler-laying eggs, changes occur in the teat layer of the egg shell, indicating an improvement in their qualities. In parent flocks, these positive structural changes occur at the end of the production period, which allows the high hatchability of the eggs to be maintained. In our work, we experimentally studied the effect of Vitamin D, i.e. Tenat, on the structure of the shell. Thus, the use of Vitamin D contributes to the accumulation of nutrients, in particular calcium stores in the body, which helps the bird survive periods of stress without losing productivity and egg quality.
