Popis: To provide the population of Ukraine with livestock products should intensify research on the creation of highly effective tools and methods for diagnosis, prevention and treatmentof animals and poultry, as well as the use of biotechnologyand genetic engineering, develop an effective system of preventive, sanitary and zoohygienic measures to ensure veterinary welfare, environmental protection, obtaining high qualityproducts. Currently, they are looking for ways to increase theactivity of the natural resistance of animals and poultry withnatural and artificial immunomodulators, pro- and prebioticsand non-drug methods as an alternative to antibiotics.The aim of the study was to investigate the efficacy ofthe prebiotic drug Actigen in the rearing of dose-dependentmeat-producing turkeys.Zootechnical, zoohygienic, hematological and variational-statistical research methods were used to obtain scientificand practical data.The object of study were turkeys of the BIG-6 breed. Theprebiotic Actigen was added to the main diet (OR) of turkeysin the following doses: from the 1st to the 21st day: 0.4; 0.8and 1 g/kg of feed; from the 22nd to the 42nd day: 0.4; 0.6 and0.8 g/kg of feed; from the 42nd to the 120th day: 0.2; 0.4 and0.7 g/kg of feed. Mixing of prebiotic with compound feed wasperformed with a feed mixer on the farm for the productionof compound feed. The bird had free access to food and waterthroughout the fattening. ACTIGEN is a unique second-generation biologically active fraction derived from the outer wallof a specific yeast strain, Sacchamyces cerevisiae, selected byAlltech in the United States and designed to create a moreeffective product for optimizing farm and poultry health. Actigen is a form of yeast carbohydrate. Active substance: 1 kgcontains 280.0 g of crude protein. Pharmaceutical powderform.The results of experimental studies on the effectivenessof the prebiotic Actigen (manufacturer Alltech (U.K.) Limited/Alltech (YK) Limited, UK); which consists of mananoligosaccharides (MOS) isolated from the cell walls of the yeastSaccharomyces cerevisiae.The highest rates of preservation and growth of liveweight of broiler turkeys from the 1st to the 21st day of thepostnatal period of ontogenesis were obtained at a dose of Actigen 0.8 g/kg of feed, which was 3.99 % (P
