The main purpose of this study was to assess the impact of primary and active Shungite in the diet of Arbor Acres cross broilers on the quality of feed, eggs, and meat. A total of 180 chickens aged 21 weeks were used in the experiment and randomly divided into three groups of 60 chickens each. The first (control) group was fed the basic diet. The second group received the basic diet with 5% primary Shungite in powder. The third group received the basic diet with 5% active Shungite. Sample collection and laboratory analysis were carried out following regulatory documents. Based on the results, the authors determined the positive effects of primary and active Shungite on the total content of mineral elements in feed, meat, and eggs. Based on the analysis of meat, the protein content in the eggs from the third group significantly increased (by 8.3%) compared to the control group. The difference between the second and third groups was insignificant. The ash content increased in the muscles and eggs in the experimental groups, leading to a higher content of mineral elements. Including active Shungite in the diet of Arbor Acres cross broilers has significantly enhanced the quality of meat and eggs. This improvement was marked by increased protein and ash content and higher levels of essential macro-and microelements, demonstrating the potential of Shungite as a valuable dietary supplement for poultry.
