Exogenous exposure to the alpha rhythm was carried out on broiler chickens from 1 to 14 days. Two experimental and control groups were formed. The exposure was carried out for 20 minutes three times a day. As a result, by the 14th day in the experimental groups the safety and average live weight were higher than in the control. Taking into account the need to create new environmentally friendly, resource-saving methods in industrial poultry farming, the development of energy information technology based on the operation of electromagnetic fields of certain characteristics is very promising.

One of the directions in the development of this technology is the creation of a method aimed at increasing the safety of chickens in the first days of their life and maintaining homeostasis at a level that ensures a more complete subsequent realization of the genetic potential of the bird. In nature, the brooding hen plays an important role in the safety of chickens, which provides feeding, heating and safety.
