this experiment was carried out to study the effect of manganese in four levels (30, 60, 90 and 120 mg/kg) and zinc in four levels (50, 100, 150 and 200 mg/kg) on shells with translucent areas, haugh unit, mortality, percentage of ash in eggshell and composition of eggshell in laying hens, in a completely randomized design and in a 4×4 (16 treatment) factorial arrangement, three hundred and twe...

In this experiment 240 Hy-Line (W-36) laying hens from 65 to 75 weeks distributed in 5 treatments and 4 replicates (12 birds per replicate) in a completely randomized design were used. The amounts of watermelon skin meal (WSM) used to set the treatments were 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2% in 1 to 5 experimental groups. The results showed that using WSM up to 2% significantly improved the performance and...

a 70-days experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of natural zeolite (clinoptelolite) on the performance of commercial laying hens. 288 hy-line w36 strain laying hens (50 weeks old) were allotted to 6 dietary treatments including basal diet as control and basal diet supplemented with 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5% zeolite that were fed ad -libitum throughout the experiment. experimental diets fo...

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of dried lemon pulp (DLP) on performance of broilers and laying hens. In first experiment, 240 of broilers (Ross-308) were used in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 3 replicates (with 20 birds in each replicate) from 1 to 42 days. The amounts of DLP in diets were 0, 1.5, 3 and 4.5 percentage. In the se...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of biohebal® feed supplement on performance, egg traits, blood biochemical and immunity parameters of laying hens. experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with 144 of hy- line (w36) laying hens from 23 to 34 weeks of age in 4 treatment and 3 replicate (with 12 bird in each replicate) and included: contr...

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of costmary(Tanacetum balsamita)medicinal plant on performance, egg traits, and blood biochemical parameters of laying hens. Hundred-eighty of Hi-line laying hens (W 36) from 46 until 58 weeks of age were used in a completely randomized design in five treatments and three replicates (12 birds per replicate). The treatment...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the viability of the use of spent laying hens’ meat in the manufacturing of mortadella-type sausages with healthy appeal by using vegetable oil instead of animal fat. 120 Hy-line layer hens were distributed in a completely randomized design into two treatments of six replicates with ten birds each. The treatments were birds from light Hy-line W36 and semi-h...
