Abstract. Complete balanced feeding of animals is one of the fundamental moments in increasing the production of livestock products and their quality indicators. In poultry farming, along with increasing productivity, an important task is the prevention of various diseases, in particular coccidiosis. The article presents the results of studies on the combined use of the prebiotic additive "LactuSuper" and the new anticoccidial drug Eimicide in feeding broiler chickens and their impact on growth rates, intestinal microbiome, development of the digestive organs and slaughter characteristics. As a result of the research, it was found that the combined use of anticoccidial and prebiotic preparations in broiler diets is more effective than separately, since the experimental animals of this particular group were distinguished by greater survival, average daily live weight gain, total microbial count in the blind processes of broiler chickens with a predominance of beneficial microflora, and all corrective changes in the mass of organs were aimed at strengthening the microbiocenosis of intestinal microflora, which contributed to obtaining a greater yield of carcasses, offal and edible parts of the carcass.

Keywords: broiler chickens, feeding, oocysts, eimeria, coccidiosis, prebiotic feed additives, gastrointestinal mucosa, final fattening period, broiler growth
