Wholesome feed produced in Latvia for domestic birds - layers, layer chicks and pullets, broilers, turkeys and geese was analysed. The analysed feed met requirements of non-hazardousness because it did not contain medicine (chloramphenicol), meat and bone meal as well as biologically significant feed additives, i.e., content of copper and zinc did not exceed max permitted standards that have been defined for wholesome feed at moisture of 12%contamination with heavy metals (lead) was 50-71 times less than max permitted standard in the EU countriesfeed did not contain bacteria of genus Salmonella. The criteria of feed quality - total protein, the content of calcium, phosphorus did not always provide max expression of poultry genetic potential for the respective species, direction of productivity and age group for output of production. The content of dry matter of feed completely met the criterion laid down by European Community for wholesome poultry feed mixtures produced in Latvia: did not exceed 14% of moisture.
