The establishing of effects of using natural zeolites (clinoptilolite) under the trade mark Minazel and Minazel Plus, in diets of poultry was done during feeding turkeys and laying hens. The experiment of feeding laying hens lasted for 7 months. There were 1000 hens Isabrown SSL in experiment divided into 4 groups, and they gained different levels of Minazel. K-control 0%, O-1st 0.2%, O-2nd 0.3% and O-3rd 0.05%. The best production results achieved 0-3rd group: the average laying were 88.6%, the best feed utilization were 2.306; 0.433 kg of eggs weight/kg of diet (P is less than 0.05). The experiment of feeding turkeys lasted for three months. There were 100 birds (hybrid Bigg 6) divided into 2 groups: K-control which did not gain by diet Minazel-Plus and 0-1st group with addition of 0.2% of Minazel-Plus. O-1st group achieved better average final body weight (18.36 kg) for 0.670 kg per bird, and had less feed conversion (3.16) comparing to K-group (3.4 kg/kg of growth, P is less than 0.05).
