Relationship of Protein Level, Age and Ambient Temperature to Laying Hen Performance

Effect of Different Levels of Germinated Barley on Performance and Egg Quality in Laying Hen

Objective: The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of germinated barley on performance and egg quality in laying hen. Methods: One hundred and twenty laying hens, 44-weeks old, Lohmann LSL hens were used in this experiment. Birds were assigned randomly to the groups, each of which consisted of 20 birds (4 replicate cages each containing 5 birds). The experiment w...

Lipid supplementation of laying hen diets deficient in protein and sulphur amino acids

Interaction of feeding time and temperature and their relationship to performance of the broiler breeder hen.

Experiments with broiler breeder hens were undertaken to determine effect of feeding time and environmental temperature on various production variables, body weight, and feed consumption. Two temperature treatments were used: low cyclic temperature (10 to 25 C), and high cyclic temperature (21 to 39 C). The three feeding treatments were: fed one daily meal either at 0700 h (Treatment 1) or 1800...

Effects of Chilled Drinking Water on Performance of Laying Hens during Constant High Ambient Temperature

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of chilled drinking water on the productivity of laying hens under constant high ambient temperature. A total of seventy-two, 123-day-old Hy-line brown layers was divided into two equal groups. The first group (UDWG) was given unchilled water (23.0±2.5°C) as a control, and the second group (CDWG) was given chilled water (16.0±0.5°C). The la...
