Abstract

The possibility of obtaining finished products with stable quality indicators primarily depends on the composition and properties of the main raw materials used in the production of meat products. The production of high-quality meat raw materials is possible provided that the causes causing the appearance of defective meat are eliminated. In this regard, it has been proposed to use an adaptogen of animal nature - drone homogenate - as part of the feed ration when feeding bulls raised for meat. For the bulls of the experimental groups, drone homogenate was added to the main diet in the form of a tincture at the rate of 0.005 - 0.015 ml per 1 kg of body weight. It was experimentally established that its use contributed to a more enhanced synthesis of feed nutrients, which had a positive effect on the quantity and quality of meat products obtained. By the end of fattening, the young animals of the experimental groups were superior to their peers from the control group in terms of pre-slaughter weight by 9.0-13.6 kg, and in terms of slaughter yield - by 0.1-0.6 kg. The meat of bulls from the experimental groups had a higher nutritional value. The greatest effect was achieved when an adaptogen was included in the diet at a dosage of 0.01 ml per 1 kg of live weight. Subject to the feeding conditions, the resulting beef was used as the main raw material for the production of enriched semi-finished products. To add functionality to the meat product, iodocasein was added to the cutlet recipes. The use of semifinished products in the diet will satisfy the daily requirement for iodine for adults by 12.67%, for school-age children by 15.83% and for children of primary school age by 21.11%.
