Guar meal diets as an alternative approach to inducing molt and improving Salmonella enteritidis resistance in late-phase laying hens.
Induced molting of laying hens is a practice used by commercial egg producers to increase the productive lifetime of their flock. However, the conventional method of inducing molt, which involves removal of feed, water, or both as well as a reduction in photoperiod to less than a natural day has drawn criticism due to animal welfare and food safety concerns. The objective of this study was to e...
متن کاملEffects of Dietary Corticosterone on Yolk Colors and Eggshell Quality in Laying Hens
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary corticosterone on egg quality. For 2 weeks hens received either control or experimental diet containing corticosterone at 30 mg/kg diet. Feed intake and egg production were monitored daily, and body weight measured weekly. Egg weights and egg quality were measured daily. Corticosterone treatment resulted in a remarkable incre...
متن کاملEffects of phytase B on laying performance, eggshell quality and on phosphorus and calcium balance in laying hens fed phosphorus-deficient maize-soybean meal diets
A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation of phytase B (product of the Aspergillus niger phyB gene expressed in Trichoderma reesei) on feed intake, laying performance, eggshell quality, and on phosphorus and calcium balance in laying hens. Seventy-two, 40 weeks old Hy Line Brown hens were fed for 14 weeks the following four phosphorus-deficient (0.12% nonphytate p...
متن کاملEffects of dietary 1, 4-diaminobutane (putrescine) on eggshell quality and laying performance of older hens.
We conducted an experiment to evaluate the potential for dietary 1,4-diaminobutane (putrescine) to promote eggshell quality and overall laying hen performance. A total of 128, 60-wk-old Barred Rock hens were fed a corn and soybean meal-based layer diet supplemented with 0.0 (control), 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6% free base 1,4-diaminobutane for 4 wk. The feeding of supplemental putrescine decreased feed ...
متن کاملLaying 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...
