SUMMARY
The analysis of literary sources concerning the relevance of studying and laboratory research of litter materials in modern poultry farming is carried out. It was found that litter is not only an accumulation of pollutants, a nutrient medium for the existence of pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic microorganisms, but can carry increasing emissions of harmful gases such as ammonia, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide in the event of a breach of the technology of poultry breeding, thus, causing a negative impact on both the poultry and the personnel of the poultry enterprises. The research confirms the effectiveness of the use of emulsions of essential oils against pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic microorganisms present in litter materials of broiler production. This method in the future will allow to abandon harmful for the environment chemical means of processing of poultry waste.It has been shown that in samples of litter of broiler production, there is no pathogenic microorganism of the genus Salmonella, this testifies to the high quality of products and the satisfactory epidemiological and sanitary state of the investigated poultry enterprise.Ther was detected the bactericidal effect of 7 of the 9 emulsions of essential oils studied as antibacterial preparations of a wide spectrum of action with a concentration of solution of 0.5 and 1 %
