Description
Summary:There were observed the effects ofadministrationof humicsubstances on health, feed conversion, productionparameters, egg qualityandhatchabilityofpheasants. The supplement of humicsubstances at the concentration 0.5 % in the feed mixture significantly influenced the hatchability percentage of pheasant chicks.The hatchability 72.9 % was achieved in the group without addition of humic substances.On the contrary, the hatchability 83.4 % was achieved in the experimental group in the case of addition of humic substances.The pheasants of the experimental grouphadahigher consumption of feed by 0.27 kg per 1 kg ofproduced eggs, lower production of eggsper one henand the weight of eggs was lower by 1.15 g.
