“…Dietary calcium is necessary for both bird development and egg quality (Ahmed et al ., 2022). There is a close relationship between calcium metabolism and poultry aging (Manangi et al ., 2018; Zhao et al ., 2020; López et al ., 2021; Lee et al ., 2021), so determining the optimal levels of calcium in the diet is essential to ensure the economic viability of the production. Much is known about the calcium requirements of laying hens, but little information is available on the calcium requirements for laying quails.…”

“…Different calcium sources (such as limestone or oyster shell) are used in poultry nutrition (Manangi et al ., 2018; Bagheri et al ., 2021; López et al ., 2021; Lee et al ., 2021). Among that, calcium pidolate (also known as calcium pyroglutamate or calcium pyrrolidone carboxylate) is an organic source of calcium and can be used as a supplement in the diet of laying hens (Bagheri et al ., 2021).…”

Calcium content in the diet can affect egg quality and production in aged birds. Calcium pidolate is a new form of calcium supplementation in poultry diets, which favours the absorption of this mineral. The current study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary calcium pidolate concentration in the diets of aged laying Japanese quails. A total of 120 female quails (27 weeks old) were assigned to four treatment groups, each with six replicates of five quails per pen. In the 10-week trial, quail diets were supplemented with calcium pidolate at four concentrations (0, 0.25, 0.50 and 1.00 g/kg), providing 25.1, 25.4, 25.8 and 26.5 g/kg calcium, respectively. As a result of this study, body weight, feed intake and feed conversion ratio did not change with the concentration of calcium pidolate (P > 0.05). In contrast, albumen and yolk index decreased as calcium pidolate level increased (P < 0.05). Moreover, calcium pidolate at a concentration of 0.50 g/kg resulted in the greatest egg production, eggshell breaking strength and eggshell thickness (P < 0.05), while above these levels the factors studied were negatively affected. According to these results, the optimal concentration of calcium pidolate in the diets of aged laying quails was 0.50 g/kg.

“…(11) Low-quality eggshells in the second laying cycle have been linked to body changes such as poor intestinal absorption of nutrients, particularly calcium. We have reported that a modified release preparation of various pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals can be designed to improve the absorption capabilities of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of hens and poultry, (12)(13)(14) and that the inclusion of capsaicin and calcium in the FOLA pellets improves the bioavailability of calcium in second cycle hens. A patent has been granted for the pelleted pharmaceutical form (MX/a/2012/013222) under the name of FOLA (F = bioavailability; O = optimal; LA = Long action) as it can improve the bioavailability of calcium from calcium carbonate, one of the most inexpensive sources of this element.…”

The bioavailability (F) of calcium and other nutrients from the gastrointestinal tract in the second and third laying cycle hens and in hens under heat-stress is insufficient to sustain the necessary egg production. The administration of additional amounts of any source of calcium has been shown to be insufficient to meet the demand for calcium. However, improved calcium F has already been achieved in these hens if calcium carbonate is pharmaceutically prepared as patented pellets (FOLAs). Hence, clinical challenges were set to test the FOLA pellets as a form to sustain egg production and eggshell thickness in 180-second and 180-third cycle Bovans-White laying hens, randomly divided into six groups, as follows: cycle-2 control group (GCC2); FOLA-group-capsaicin (GFcC2); FOLA-group-capsaicin-turmeric powder-cinnamon powder (GfexC2); control-group for third cycle hens (GCC3); FOLA-group-capsaicin (GFcC3); FOLA-group-capsaicin-turmeric powder-cinnamon powder (GFexC3). This trial was carried out under moderate heat-stress conditions, and a follow-up was carried out utilizing eye thermographic measurements. The results show that all FOLA-fed hens of the second or third laying cycle presented better laying average and eggshell thickness than the untreated control groups, i.e., GFcC2 128 % higher than GCC2; GfexC2 135 % higher than GCC2; GFcC3 168 % higher than GCC3; and GFexC3 was 173 % higher than GCC3 (P < 0.01 in all comparisons). FOLA pellet formulation, similar to GfexC2, is postulated as a viable natural solution to counter the decreased egg-laying and shell thickness in second and third-cycle hens under moderate heat stress.

“…It is possible to control or reduce the deterioration of the mineralization of the shell and bone by increasing the percentage of calcium and phosphorus in diets of laying hens [12,13] announced that requirement of Ca for brown laying hens 110 g/hen/d feed intake. Calcium and phosphorus can be increased after 40 weeks of age due to needs for these minerals in blood to build egg shell [14]. The strategies and methods of nutrition, most important of which is separate or intermittent feeding, which aims to supply calcium which is a critical constituent in nutrition of laying hens, and its availability depends on dietary intestinal absorption during rest or darkness, has a major role in obtaining a crust characterized by strength and hardness, which is the most important criteria by the consumers [15].…”

This study was conducted in poultry farm belong to Department of Animal Production/College of Agriculture/University of Anbar from 15/3/2022 to 6/6/2022 (84) days, 3 periods (28 days/period). The aim of studying was studying effect of feeding programs and addition high levels of Calcium, phosphorous and vitamin D3 to aged laying hens’ diets on productive performance. In this study, 150-layer hens of Lohmann Brown breed, aged 52 weeks were used in this experiment. Laying hens were distributed randomly to ten treatments with five replicates per treatment (3 hens/replicate) in close system (cages). A completely randomized experimental design with a 2x2x2 factorial arrangement consisting Morning feeding with once time (A1), Evening feeding with twice times equal half (A2) 6 hours difference between the first and second period. Feed Additives (B) included: B1(3000 IU vitamin D3, 3.5% Ca and 0.5% P). B2(5000 IU vitamin D3, 4% Ca and 0.6% P.), B3(5000 IU vitamin D3, 4.5% Ca and 0.7% P), B4 (7000 IU vitamin D3, 4% Ca and 0.6% P), B5 (7000 IU vitamin D3, 4.5% Ca and 0.7% P). During the experimental periods hen’s performance traits included egg production H.D%, egg weights, egg mass, feed consumption, and feed conversion ratio were recorded. The results of statistical analysis showed that no effect of feeding programs A1 and A2 on productive performance which included egg production (H.D %), egg weight, egg mass, feed consumption and feed conversion ratio.
