Effect of different iodine levels on poultry reproductive indices and metabolic processes in one-day-old chicks

A. V. Hunchak

The data of pedigree geese and turkey reproduction qualities as well as metabolism activity in neonatal chicks depending on iodine level in parent bird diets are presented in this article. Increased content of iodine in pedigree bird diets from 0,7 to 2,8 g/ton has promoted reproductive indices of geese and turkeys; in particular improved eggs impregnation, decreased embryo death and elevated chick quantity have been pointed.
