the study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different dietary oil sources supplementation on laying hens’ performance and fatty acids profile of egg yolks. seventy-two 23-week-old laying hens (tetra-sl) divided into six experimental diets (four replicates and three birds per replication) in a completely randomized design for nine weeks. experimental diets were included: 1) control (no oi...

the objective of present study was to determine the effects of β-mannanase-based enzyme (hemicell®) on productive performance and egg quality in diets containing graded levels of whole date waste (wdw) fed to laying hens. a total of 336 hy-line leghorn hens after production peak were randomly divided into 56 cages. eight iso-energetic and iso-nitrogenous experimental diets in a 4 × 2 factorial ...

an experiment was conducted to study the effects of carbon tetrachloride (ccl4) on post-peak performance and serum enzymes of hy-line w-36 laying hens from 32-36 weeks of age. the experiment was carried out with a total of 192 laying hens in a completely randomized block design. during the experiment laying hens were allocated to 4 groups consisted of t1) no ccl4 as control diet, t2, t3 and t4)...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of mineral and vitamin premix on performance and egg traits of laying hens from 37 to 49 weeks of age. two hundred and forty laying hens (hy-line w-36 strain) were randomly assigned to 5 dietary treatments of four replicates each with 12 hens per replicate). the levels of mineral and vitamin premixes in the experiment were ...

the aim of this study was to recognize the effects of dietary hempseed (hs) and hempseed oil (ho) on performance, egg quality and blood parameters of laying hens. a total of 320 hy-line 55-weeks laying hens were randomly allotted to eight dietary treatments with five replicates (8 birds each). the experimental treatments were offered as a completely randomized design as follow: control group (n...

three experiments were conducted to evaluate the nutritional value of bitter vetch. experiment 1 was conducted to determine the metabolisable energy content of bitter vetch. sixteen adult leghorn roosters were used. forty grams of bitter vetch were precision-fed individually to 12 roosters. in addition, 4 birds were not fed and served as a control treatment in the measurement of metabolic fecal...

this study was conducted to investigate the effect of supplementation different levels of pomegranate seed pulp (psp) on performance and blood parameters in laying hens. a total of 96 layers hens (hy-line w-36) at 24 week of age were randomly assigned into 4 treatments including 0 (control), 5, 10 and 15% of psp, with 4 replicates containing 6 layers in each. results showed no significant effec...

in this study, the effects of culban seed (vicia peregrine l.) on live body weight, feed intake, feed efficiency, egg production, egg quality characteristics, egg yolk fatty acid profiles and yolk cholesterol content in laying hens were investigated. the experiment consists of seven treatment groups with ten replications containing one laying hen in each and for 32 weeks old seventy laying hen ...
