The effect of nanostructured zeolite on embryonic and early postnatal development of Peking ducks cross ‘STAR-53 medium’ was investigated. The surface of hatching eggs was treated with a suspension of nanostructured zeolite with a particle size of 60-120 nm to evaluate its effect on increasing the productivity of ducks. It was found by electron microscopy that particles of nanostructured zeolite penetrate through the porous structure of the shell (pore size 0.2-2 μm) and reach the embryo, stimulating physiological processes. Radiological studies showed no adverse effects on embryo viability, survival and development. After hatching it was revealed that the absolute live weight gain of ducklings in the experimental group was 7.2% (22.6 g) more than in the control group during the first 10 days of life. The obtained results show the prospectivity of using nanostructured zeolite in industrial poultry farming to increase the productivity and quality of growing birds.
