Abstract: The research was aimed at studying the efficiency of using functional feed additives based on fermented brewer’s grains with vegetative filler and an adsorbent in combined feeds for broiler chickens. The use of the developed biological product resulted in increasing the live weight in the second group of chickens by 8.0 %, the average daily live weight gain – by 8.2 %, while reducing the feed used per unit of the product by 8.0 %. The results of analyzing the contents of the microflora of the caeca in the intestine showed a reduction of the common microbial number in the experimental group of chickens from 2×109 to 3×107 and an increase in the number of lactobacilli from 1×106 to 6×107. Therefore, the efficiency of the composite biological product in feeding broiler chickens has been proven.
