Egg quality and production by the addition of dried consortium probiotics on late-phase laying hens

<p class="MDPI17abstract"><strong>Objective: </strong>Lactic acid bacteria are known to improve performance and gut health of laying hens. Several potential microbiotas that could enhance <em>Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus, </em>and <em>Bifidobacterium sp.</em> Probiotics microorganisms play a role in improving the ecosystem intestinal flora, which affects nutrient absorption process along with metabolism, increase production eggs. This study aimed determine effect microbiota consortium probiotic powder on egg quality for late-phase hens.</p><p class="MDPI17abstract"><strong>Methods: </strong>This research was done January-April 2022 used 40 Lohmann brown hens aged 70 weeks. The treatments given were 0, 2, 3, 4% hens’ feed. Egg samples collected every week, parameters observed consisting weight, volume, weight composition such as yolk white eggshell index, haugh unit, production.<strong></strong></p><p class="MDPI17abstract"><strong>Results: </strong>The result showed addition not (P>0.05) based composition. However, level significantly (P<0.01).<strong></strong></p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Hence, we can conclude be feed additive hens.</p>
