Study of Zinc and Manganese content in blood serum, feathers and claws in 14-, 21- and 28-days old broiler chickens with perosis

Culling due to poor condition, weight loss, mortalityand, as a result, economic losses due to perosa, accordingto various estimates, 1-5% of the group of birds. Due to thedysfunction of the limbs, the bird can suffer from a numberof diseases. Lack of essential nutrients play an important rolein the development of perosis in poultry. Often in farms dueto cost savings, reduce the cost of feed for broilers, which inturn can lead to metabolic disorders in poultry. Therefore, thediagnosis of these disorders requires new approaches. Modernscience is increasingly inclined to non-invasive diagnosis ofmetabolic pathologies. In human medicine, nails and hair areused to study persistent micronutrient deficiencies. And inveterinary medicine in the study of micronutrient deficienciesas a method of non-invasive diagnosis using animal hair.According to the results of our research, theconcentrations of microelements (Zn, Mn) in the feathers of14, 21 and 28-days-old clinically healthy and feathery broilerchickens were determined. On day 14 of the disease, theconcentration of Zinc and Manganese in broiler chickens withperosis was 65.6 ± 2.73 and 17.4 ± 0.79 μg / g, which wasprobably higher than in clinically healthy birds 46.5 ± 1.57(p <0.001) and 10.9 ± 0.80 (p <0.001) μg / g. Analyzing the indicators of micronutrients in the clawsof patients with feathers of broiler chickens of 28 days ofage, the content of Manganese was 10.2 ± 0.51 μg / g, whichis probably less than in clinically healthy birds 15.7 ± 0.97μg / g (p < 0.01). The concentration of zinc in the claws ofhealthy birds is 127.6 ± 3.65 μg / g, which tended to increasecompared to that in healthy birds - 98.3 ± 5.40 μg / g.The results of the analysis show that in birds with signs ofperosis, Zinc and Manganese accumulate in higher concentrations in the feathers compared to clinically healthy chickens. Inturn, the concentration of these elements in the claws in chickens with feathers relative to healthy birds of the group decreases.

Key words: trace elements, non-invasive diagnostics,metabolic pathologies, avian.
