Abstract

Food security, providing the population of the country with high-quality food is essential. aspects of the economic situation of Ukraine. Therefore, the poultry industry is one of the priority suppliers of high-quality animal protein, it is considered the most capable of modernizing production processes and attracting innovative solutions developed by scientists. The purpose of the article is to find out the effect of functional poultry feeding on the chemical and morphological composition of broiler chicken carcasses and their parts, meat quality indicators. In order to achieve the specified goal, a comprehensive evaluation of the meat of broiler chickens, grown using functional feeding, without the additional use of hormonal drugs and antibiotic substances contained in traditional compound feed for chickens, was carried out. Data on the functional and technological properties of meat, chemical composition, microbiological well-being of raw materials and morphological features of cartridge carcasses are provided. The conducted studies showed compliance of the quality of the meat with the requirements of the standard and confirmed its safety for consumption. It was found that the proposed tool for influencing the functional and technological properties of poultry meat, i.e., the use of phosphate when feeding poultry, is not only effective for poultry health, but also has a positive effect on its preservation. This fact was confirmed with the help of microbiological studies. The results of physico-chemical and sensory studies showed that the metabolic processes in the body of birds are able to utilize phosphates and transform the quality with a significant improvement of indicators. The practical significance of the work lies in the fact that the aspect of biomodification of meat raw materials and its purpose will continue to be relevant for implementation both for producers of meat products and for producers of animal products
