Sorbents are characterized by synergistic action with many biologically active compounds, including antioxidants that neutralize free radicals in the body, prevent membrane damage, and preserve the youth of the cells of organs and tissues of poultry. The purpose of the study was to determine the eff ect of the sorbent Mikosorb®A Plus and the antioxidant Hadox on the parameters of digestive and intermediary metabolism in meat quails when they are added to compound feed with a subtoxic dose of nitrates. It was found that in order to improve the digestive and intermediary metabolism in meat quails, the composition of their compound feed should include the drugs of the sorbent Mikosorb®A Plus at the dose of 1000 g/t and the antioxidant Hadox at the dose of 150 g/t of compound feed. These drugs allowed to increase signifi cantly (p < 0.05) the coeffi cients of dry matter digestibility by 3.43 abs.%, organic matter by 3.33 abs.%, crude protein by 3.55 abs.%, crude fi ber by 3.48 abs.% and nitrogen-free extractive substances by 3.57 abs.% in the quails of the 3rd experimental group compared to the control group. This also allowed to increase the number of erythrocytes in the blood of quails of the 3rd experimental group by 0.56×1012/l (p < 0.05), hemoglobin by 7.0 g/l (p < 0.05) with a simultaneous decrease in methemoglobin by 1.40 % (p < 0.05) compared to the control analogues. In the quails of the 3rd experimental group, the concentration of total protein in the blood serum was higher by 5.20 g/l (p < 0.05) with a simultaneous decrease in the content of nitrates by 1.63 times (p < 0.05) and nitrites by 2.47 times (p < 0.05) compared to the quails of the control group. Joint feeding of the sorbent and antioxidant inhibited lipid peroxidation processes and had a stimulating eff ect on the antioxidant defense mechanism in the quail body. At the same time, the quails of the 3rd experimental group had a lower proportion of conjugated dienes by 40.54 % and malondialdehyde by 28.72 % compared to the control group.
