Laying performance and eggshell quality in laying hens fed diets supplemented with prebiotics and organic acids
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of organic acids and the prebiotic fructans on egg production and eggshell quality when added to the layer diet with different levels of calcium and phosphorus. The experiment was carried out on 168 Bovans Brown hens, allocated to 14 groups of 12 replications. Each hen (replication) was kept in an individual cage 40 cm × 40 cm in size. A 2 × 7 fac...
متن کاملDietary interaction of 1,4-diaminobutane (putrescine) and calcium on eggshell quality and performance in laying hens.
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the potential dietary interaction between 1,4-diaminobutane (putrescine) and calcium on eggshell quality and overall laying performance. One hundred ninety-two 30-wk-old White Leghorn hens were fed a corn-and soybean-meal-based diet supplemented with 0.00, 0.05, 0.10, or 0.15% putrescine and 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, or 4.0% calcium in a factorial design (12 birds p...
متن کاملDietary Phosphorus Levels on the Performance of Laying Hens and Eggshell Quality over the Common Laying Period
Th e aim of the present trial was to study the eff ect of two diff erent dietary phosphorus (P) levels on the laying performance in long-term (17 months) egg production and egg shell quality in terms of strength and thickness from the 7th to 17th month of laying. In case of eggshell quality parameters the time eff ect as well as the interaction between dietary P levels and time were also examin...
متن کاملNano-calcium carbonate: Effect on performance traits and egg quality in laying hens
A ten-week trial was carried out to determine the effect of different levels of nano-calcium carbonate (NCC) on egg production performance and egg quality. A completely randomized experiment was designed comprising 6 treatments, each with 4 replicates of 5 hens. Groups 1 and 2 were fed diets containing 8.06% and 6.045% calcium carbonate (CC) as positive and negative control respectively. Groups...
متن کاملEffect of housing system on the calcium requirement of laying hens and on eggshell quality
The effects of housing systems on the calcium requirement for eggshell production, eggshell quality and on the breaking strength of the hen’s tibia were evaluated. Unenriched cages (UN) (24 laying hens), enriched cages (EN) (16 laying hens) and floor system (FS) (24 laying hens) were used in this experiment. The eggshell production of laying hens from 19 to 66 weeks of age was higher (P < 0.01)...
