The topic of the scientific research - "Creation of a technology for growing poultry without the use of antimicrobials" - is consistent with the strategic projects "Innovative feed and feed additives" and "Healthy nutrition" of the consortium "Agropriority 2030", which are implemented within the framework of the strategic academic leadership program "Priority

"Antibiotics are now widely used to preserve and improve productivity indicators in industrial conditions of poultry cultivation. At the same time, in recent years, there has been a tightening of rules for the use of antibiotics in animal husbandry in order to stop their entry into food for people, as well as in connection with the appearance of strains of pathogenic bacteria that have developed resistance to a wide range of antibiotics. One of the alternatives to the use of antibiotics is the use of probiotics - living bacteria, which are specially selected due to their beneficial effects on the host's body and ability to survive in extreme pH and temperature conditions," says Ivan Koshchaev. - The result of my research work will be the development of technology for industrial cultivation of broiler chickens without the use of antimicrobials (including all technological, zootechnical and veterinary measures) to improve poultry immunity and, as a result, to obtain environmentally friendly products.
