Summary. The paper presents the results of monitoring of compound feeds for different types of chickens for the period 2017–2021 by the indicators of the content of vitamins (A, E, B₂) and trace elements (Zn, Cu, Se). Vitamin A content did not show significant deviations from the norm in compound feeds for productive chickens and for reproductive meat poultry, and in compound feeds for reproductive egg hens, samples with low vitamin A content (5.7%) were found. By the content of vitamin E in compound feeds for commercial chickens, the percentage of samples with reduced content was 75.2%, in compound feeds for reproductive egg hens — 63.9%, and in compound feeds for reproductive meat hens — 12.7%. By the content of vitamin B₂ in compound feeds for reproductive egg chickens, samples with reduced content of vitamin B₂ were not observed, while in compound feeds for reproductive meat chickens, reduction of vitamin B₂ was found in 4.0% of samples, and in compound feeds for commercial laying hens in 5.1%. The average zinc content in compound feeds for productive laying hens and reproductive egg and meat hens was within normal limits, but reduced zinc levels were observed in 11.0, 2.5, and 17.3% of samples, and above the MAL — in 11.1, 16.9, and 47.1% of the samples, respectively. The average content of copper in compound feeds for commercial laying hens and reproductive egg and meat hens was within the norm, but the reduced level of the element was registered in 1.4, 0.0, and 18.0% of samples, and above the MAL — in 1.4, 8.3, and 16.9% of samples, respectively. The average content of selenium in compound feeds for commercial laying hens and reproductive egg and meat hens was within the norm, but the reduced level of the element was registered in 52.8, 29.3, and 26.8% of samples, the exceeding of the maximum allowable level was not detected

Keywords: vitamins A, E, B₂, zinc, cooper, selenium
