Melatonin implantation improved the egg-laying rate and quality in hens past their peak egg-laying age
The egg-laying rates of hens approximately 470 days of age exhibited a positive correlation to blood melatonin levels. The hens with an egg-laying rate <30%, 30~90% and ≥90% had blood melatonin levels of 5.8 ± 2.6, 74.0 ± 32.9 and 445.9 ± 115.3 ng/ml, respectively. When 10 mg of melatonin was implanted into the hens at 300, 360, 470 and 550 days of age, the egg-laying rates increased 4.63 ± 0.4...
متن کاملEffects of laying hens housing system on laying performance, egg quality characteristics, and egg microbial contamination
The objective of this study was to compare the performance, egg quality, and microbial contamination of egg shells from hens maintained in different housing systems, such as conventional and enriched cages, litter, and aviaries. The housing system significantly (P < 0.001) influenced the performance characteristics. The highest egg production, lowest daily feed consumption, and feed conversion ...
متن کاملLaying Performance and Egg Quality of Hens Supplemented with Sodium Bicarbonate During the Late Laying Period
This study was conducted to determine effects of dietary NaHCO supplementation on egg 3 production and egg quality during the late laying period. Hisex Brown layers, 54 wks of age, were blocked according to the cage location and then assigned randomly to receive one of four diets containing 0, 0.1, 0.2, or 0.4% NaHCO for 75 d. Each diet was replicated in 6 groups; each consisting of 2 cages con...
متن کاملEffects of Green Tea Powder on Laying Performance and Egg Quality in Laying Hens
This experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of feeding green tea powder on laying performance and egg quality in hens. A total 180 “Tetran Brown” laying hens aged 40 weeks were assigned to 6 treatments in a completely randomized design. Each treatment consisted of five replicates accommodating six layers per replication. The experimental diets were a negative control containing no g...
متن کاملEffects of High-Dose Daidzein on Laying Performance, Egg Quality and Antioxidation in Laying Hens
This trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of high-dose daidzein supplements on laying performance, egg quality and antioxidation in laying hens during the late laying period. Seven hundred sixty eight 55-wk-old Hyline Brown were randomly assigned to four groups with 8 replicates of 24 birds each (192 laying hens per group) and fed diets supplemented with 0 (control), 10mg/kg, 50mg/kg and...
