Chelates in Poultry Feeding

The synthesis conditions of chelate compounds results of their physical-chemical researches and results of studies conducted on egg-laying birds and broilers. Composition and individuality of synthesized chelate compounds is established through trace element analysis and X-ray graphic study, and melting temperature measurement. Their qualitative solubility in different solvents is studied. Chelates crystalline structure is established by X-ray graphic research method, according to thermographic studies the thermal dissociation of chelates runs stage-by-stage and the composition of the final product of thermolysis depends on metal nature. The organic ligands' bond character with chelate-forming metals is established on the basis of study of heteronuclear citrate absorption IR spectra. On the basis of carried-out researches aimed to study of biological activity the idea that chelate compounds are more active than single inorganic salts was confirmed once more. It is established that for egg-laying birds takes place: egg production growth, egg weight gain, poultry liveability, egg-shell strength increase, keeping a physiological state of egg-laying birds within the norm.
