Abstract
The effect of adding vitamin E to the ration of broiler chicks at various age periods on its content in muscle is studied. Chicks of the experimental groups in the last two weeks of raising them received respectively 200, 350, and 450 g of vitamin E per 1 ton of feed. At age 22–35 days, the content of vitamin E in muscles was higher than at age 29–41 days. Doses of 350 and 450 g/t feed were the most effective.
