MORPHOGENESIS OF THE LUNGS IN ROSS-308 CROSSBREED BROILER CHICKS (LITERATURE REVIEW)

Аннотация

Introduction. In order to further develop poultry farming in our country, it is essential to monitor and control the growth coefficients of all organs in chicks from the earliest stages of their postnatal ontogenesis. This involves inspecting and ensuring the proper development of these organs, conducting experiments with various types of feed, and, most importantly, organizing them into groups for within-group and inter-group comparisons. The purpose is to conduct research aimed at developing and improving accurate and relevant recommendations for optimized production, ensuring a comprehensive and scientifically grounded approach to this field. Currently, the physiological condition of broiler chicks plays a critical role in their growth and development. Broilers, which are specifically bred for meat production, are characterized by rapid growth, efficient meat and egg production, and high productivity. In this process, the morphological and physiological characteristics of the lungs—particularly in Ross-308 crossbreed chicks—are among the most important factors. The lungs, as the primary organs of respiration and metabolism in birds, including broilers, play a pivotal role; therefore, their morphogenesis directly influences broiler productivity.
