Abstract
<jats:p>Poultry farming is one of the most intensively developing and high-tech areas of the agro-industrial complex, which play an important role in ensuring the food independence of the state. Poultry feed often contains mycotoxins, which have harmful effects on the body and can accumulate in poultry products, posing a potential threat to consumer health. The purpose of this study was to study the effect of the complex use of zeolite and compound feed treated with ultrahigh frequency radiation in poultry diets on organoleptic characteristics, as well as on the results of tasting evaluation of meat and broth obtained from broiler chickens. An experiment to study the effects of ultrahigh frequency feed processing, both in combination with zeolite and using only the basic diet, on the organoleptic parameters of broiler chicken meat was conducted on a 40-day-old Cobb cross bird. To conduct the experiment, five groups were formed, each of which included sixty heads. After the end of the experimental period, a control slaughter of the experimental bird was carried out. The slaughter was performed in accordance with the generally accepted procedure: before the procedure, the bird was kept for eight hours without food with free access to water. The carcasses were then subjected to a maturation process for twelve hours at a temperature of +4 ° C. An analysis of the results of the tasting evaluation of meat and broth showed that the treatment of feed with ultrahigh frequency radiation, both when used alone and in combination with zeolite, does not adversely affect the organoleptic characteristics of broiler meat and broth prepared from it.</jats:p>
