Abstract
The article presents the results of studying the efficiency of using a vermiculture-based and phytobiotic feed additive in growing broiler chickens. The feed additive was introduced into the main diet of chickens from the 8th to the 14th day of life in the amount of 10 g/kg of compound feed. It was found that the feed additive has a positive effect on production indicators, increasing the average daily weight gain and survivability of the bird, while reducing feed consumption. The feed additive increases the dry matter and protein content in the muscles of broiler chickens and improves the digestibility of nutrients. The use of the feed additive ensures an increase in the European index of production efficiency.
