Fatty acids profile and oxidative stability of eggs from laying hens fed diets containing hemp seed or hempseed cake

Response of laying hens to supplementation with various fatty acids when fed diets inadequate in protein and sulphur amino acids

Performance, egg quality, and blood plasma chemistry of laying hens fed hempseed and hempseed oil.

The aim of this study was to compare the performance of hens (feed intake, rate of lay, egg weight, and BW gain), egg quality and blood biochemistry (enzymes, electrolytes, proteins, and other plasma constituents) of laying hens fed diets containing hemp products. Forty-eight Lohmann LSL-Classic (white-egg layers; 19 wk of age) were individually caged and fed 1 of 6 wheat-barley-soybean-based d...

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...

Elimination of fishy taint in eggs from hens fed diets containing canola meal

Sensory and fatty acid profile of eggs from commercial hens fed rendered spent hen meal.

The objective of the study was to determine sensory characteristics and fatty acid profile of eggs from commercial laying hens fed rendered spent hen meal (RSHM). Eggs were collected on a daily basis from Single Comb White Leghorn hens between 43 and 60 wk of age. The hens were fed a layer diet containing either 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, or 10.0% RSHM from 48 to 60 wk in Trial 1, and from 43 to 55 wk i...
