Abstract
Four hundred and eighty six Hisex-brown layers 28 weeks of age were allocated to diets containing 0 Diet C 6 Diet D6 and 12 Diet D12 zeolite. Hen day egg production HDA feed consumption g/d/h feed conversion ratio FCR egg weight g were measured weekly for 20 weeks. The eggs were sampled for the determination of physical and chemical quality namely Haugh unit yolk color score shell weight g and thickness mm and also crude protein fat calcium Ca and phosphorus P of albumen and yolk. Hen day production of birds on Diet D12 76.4 were significantly p0.05 lower than those on Diet C and Diet D6 78.2 0.788 respectively. FCR of birds on Diet D12 were also significantly higher than those on Diet C and Diet D6. However there was no significant effect on feed consumption 97.5 97.6 and 98.7g/h/d respectively and egg weight 58.8 59.1 and 58.8g respectively. Increasing levels of dietary zeolite significantly P0.01 increased Haugh units 78.9 81.1 and 8504 respectively and shell thickness 0.39 0041 and 0.41 mm but significantly decreased yolk color score 14.0 12.7 and 8.9.
