Abstract | This article presents the results of a study of the effect of a feed additive “Albit-BIO”, on the body quail meat productivity. This feed additive made from autolysate of the biomass of Cephaliophora Tropica fungus, saturated with selenium, iodine, iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, manganese, copper, cobalt, and boron. As a result of the studies, found that the addition in the diet of quail feed additive helps increase poultry safety by 3.5 %, live growth by 6.6 % while reducing feed consumption for growth by 1.5 %. Revealed that the use of autolysate from the fungus in the diet of birds helps increase protein, mineral, and fat metabolism, and increases the quail’s immune status. The feed additive had a positive effect on the digestibility of the feed components, stimulated the growth of beneficial microflora, and inhibition of growing the opportunistic microorganisms. The use of additives helps improve the chemical composition of the bird’s muscles by reducing the fat content and increasing protein, as well as increasing the dietary properties of meat products and its biological value. In general, the use of the feed additive Albit-BIO as part of the quail diet increases the meat productivity of poultry and improves the quality of the obtained quail products.
