Abstract. The purpose is to assess the effect of “Butamaks 200” on the development and productivity of broiler chickens. Methods. During laboratory studies, the dynamics of the bird's body weight was analyzed by daily individual weighing of the birds before feeding during the entire experimental period. To assess the physiological state of the body at the beginning and end of the experimental period, an analysis of the morphological and biochemical parameters of the broiler blood was carried out. Results. The introduction of “Butamaks 200” into the diet during the technology of growing broiler chickens contributed to an increase in the intensity and rate of chicken growth by 23.4 %, slaughter indicators, activation of metabolic processes in the bird's body, and a decrease in feed conversion by 23.1 %. No negative impact of “Butamaks 200” on the bird's body was revealed. During the experiment, a statistically significant increase in the hemoglobin content in the erythrocytes of the chickens in the experimental group was revealed. The hemoglobin level in the erythrocytes of this group was 5 % higher than in the control group (P < 0.01), and the average hemoglobin concentration was 2.9 % higher (P < 0.05). In addition, analysis of the results of the control slaughter showed the presence of statistically significant differences in the weight of the thigh (by 10 %, P < 0.01) and drumstick (by 7.3 %, P < 0.01) between the chickens of the experimental and control groups. Scientific novelty. For the first time in the conditions of the Northern Trans-Urals, an assessment of the effect of the drug “Butamaks 200” on the growth rate, slaughter indicators, physiological state and health of broiler chickens was carried out on the Cobb 500 broiler chicken cross. Practical significance. In the course of a scientific laboratory experiment, a method for introducing the drug into the diet of broiler chickens was developed, and dosages for introducing this drug were determined.
