The experiment was carried out on Birkivska Barvysta chickens from the day-old age to the 120-day age. The aim of the investigation is to study the effect of winter and spring triticale on metabolism processes in the organism of chickens. It has been established that the long term feeding by feeds with the heightened content of winter triticale (36%) leads to the considerable infringement of metabolism, activation of lipid exchange, surplus accumulation of abdominal fat, lipids in the liver, its lipid degeneration. The contrary tendency is observed using spring triticale: in the first period the activity of processes, which synthesize protein, increases, the lipid exchange becomes active, that is accompanied by the increased feed expenditures; later on the adaptation of the organism takes place and the most indices of metabolism come nearer to control values.
