Autonomic nervous system tone in poultry protein metabolism.

The problem of the world market in the lack of one of the main components of all living organisms, namely protein, is more urgent than ever. Products from poultry farms are rapidly trying to fill this gap, which is ensured by the rapid growth in the number of livestock and its growth rate. The main material that ensures the growth of a given number of animals is protein. There is a direct relationship between protein metabolism and poultry productivity. The purpose of the study was to establish the influence of the autonomic nervous system on the indicators of protein metabolism in poultry blood serum. The study was conducted on COBB-500 chickens. The experimental groups were established according to the Baevsky method. The LabLine-010 spectrophotometer (Austria) was used to determine the content of total protein, globulins, and albumins. For the analysis of blood serum, a test system from Granum Laboratory LTD, Kharkiv, was used According to the results of the biochemical study, it was found that the total protein content in the experimental group of normotonics with a balanced effect of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems was higher in comparison with sympathotonics by 10.5% (p < 0.001) and vagotonics by 21.1% (p < 0.001). The albumin content in normotonics was 9% higher than in sympathotonics (p < 0.001) and vagotonics by 18.1% (p < 0.001). In the experimental group of normotonics, globulin values on day 35 were 11.4% higher in relation to sympathotonics (p < 0.001). The experimental group of vagotonics had the lowest globulin content compared to the experimental group of normotonics, which was 19.1% less compared to them (p < 0.001). According to the results of the study, it should be noted that poultry belonging to the experimental group of normotonics was characterised by more active processes of protein metabolism in the body, which introduced a new variable that should be considered when studying the processes of protein synthesis and resynthesis and used as an additional factor for the use of various feed additives.
