The results of two experiments with livex performed on hunt growing pheasants (Phasianus colchicus L.) and on two flocks of reproductive hunt pheasants are presented. In growing pheasants a fish meal was completely eliminated from a diet and it was replaced by starter — 8%, and as finished 7% of livex was applied. In laying pheasants animal protein components were completely replaced by 8% of livex. The following parameters were examined: growth and healthy state, content of immunoglobulins, a total protein and electrophoretic fractions of serum proteins, effects of production (in pheasant chicks — dynamics of growth, food consumption, in egg layers — egg production, index of fertility, index of hatching, percent of death and cullings). It was found that replacement of proteins of animal origin in fodder by livex did not affect growth and healthy state of growing pheasants. These observations were confirmed by the results of the determinations of blood immunoglobulins and blood serum proteins. Adult pheasants fed during a reproduction period fodder enriched with 8% of livex as the only source of proteins of animal origin characterized a good healthy state. However, egg laying decreased and food consumption increased. These unprofitable results were compensated by increase of egg hatching and good condition of new hatched chicks.
