New research from Timiryazev Academy: Improving the quality of Russian broiler meat

The project, titled "Physiological Evaluation of Protein Supplements to Determine Standard Requirements and Develop Diets for Broiler Chickens Using Fistula Technologies," focuses on studying the digestive processes of the new Smena 9 chicken breed. The researchers intend to determine how different protein components of the feed affect the birds' bodies .

Using fistula technology, specialists will be able to closely monitor gastrointestinal function, chick adaptation to various feeds, and assess their taste and nutritional characteristics. This will enable the development of effective diets that promote healthy and rapid growth.

The results of this study will have significant practical implications for the entire poultry industry. Economic benefits include reduced feed costs, improved MEAT quality, and increased competitiveness of Russian poultry products in both domestic and international markets. The research is supported by the Russian Science Foundation (RSF Grant No. 25-26-00133), emphasizing its relevance to agricultural science and poultry production in RUSSIA.
