Abstract. Experts, given the continuing rise in the cost of feed ingredients and the high volatility of prices for poultry products, are forced to use alternative strategies to increase feed efficiency[1] without sacrificing quality. To this end, we conducted a study of the effect of ultrafine copper particles and a complex enzyme additive on the productive performance of broiler chickens. During the study, it was found that for the entire growing period, broilers of the I experimental group consumed 6.7% more, the II experimental group - by 1.8% in comparison with the indicators of the control group. The difference in live weight of broiler chickens in the control and II experimental groups was 11.1% (Р≤0.05). The relative growth rate in the I experimental group advanced over the control by 17.5% (P≤0.05), and the II experimental group by 21.8% (P≤0.05) in comparison with on the second week of the experiment. The calculation of average daily gains confirmed that throughout the experiment from 7 to 42 days, this indicator in experimental groups I and II was higher by 15% (P≤0.05) and 15.2% (P≤0.05), respectively, relative to the control. Analysis of the chemical composition of the muscle tissue of broiler chickens allowed us to conclude that in the first experimental group, the dry matter concentration was higher by 1.8% (Р≤0.05), protein by 1.1% (Р≤0.05), fat by 0.7% (Р≤0.05) in comparison with the control. In the second experimental group, the protein concentration exceeded the control values by 1.6% (Р≤0.05). Thus, in the course of the study, it was revealed that the complex of the enzyme supplement, both separately and in combination with copper in ultrafine form, has a positive effect on the productive performance of broiler chickens. But when calculating the productivity index, it was found that the cost-effective strategy is to introduce a complex enzyme supplement with ultrafine copper particles into the diet of broilers.
