Sažetak

Combatting mycotoxins and their harmful effects on performance at broiler farms is based on using neutralizing products such as binders that inhibit their intestinal absorption and bind with these molecules to neutralise. This study focuses on the dietary supplementation of a mycotoxin binder-organic acidifier combination over an entire broiler rearing cycle. 1280 1-day-old chicks of equal weight of the cobb500 strain were divided into two groups (n=640): the control group (C) was fed with standard staple food suitable for each phase of breeding, while the experimental group received the same food for each phase as the control group, with the addition of a mycotoxin binder (MICOTEC, 0.1%) and organic acidifier (TECAVIAR, 0.1%) in the food. The results showed a highly convincing effect of these two additives on zootechnical performance: reduced mortality rate, 15.38% improvement in average weight, 15.68% improvement in average daily gain (ADG), and a 1.59% reduction in consumption compared to the control group. This resulted in significant economic and health impacts. This study has shown that the mycotoxin binder-acidifier combination gives remarkable positive effects that may be of economic interest. Other research perspectives are opening concerning the choice of molecules and their concentrations to optimize results, and to study other aspects of the effects of this combination on poultry health and ultimately of consumer health.
