<b>Pequi peel meal in laying hen diet

Abstract: ABSTRACT. This study evaluated the effect of pequi peel meal in the diet for laying hens on performance and egg quality. Hy-Line ® Brown hens (n=160) aged 55 weeks with 1642±63g body weight were distributed in a completely randomized design with five treatments and four replications of eight birds each. The treatments consisted of isometric substitution of corn by pequi peel meal at 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10%. The performance and internal and external egg quality were evaluated.

“…Caryocar brasiliense C. (pequi) is a native plant of the Cerrado biome, and it is well distributed in the north and midwest regions of the country. The fruit has carotenoids with an antioxidant activity and is a precursor of vitamin A [16]. It demonstrates a strong potential for sustainable exploration, since the fruit is fairly rich in a nutritional and functional point of view, presenting sensory properties such as color, aroma, and a distinctive flavor compared to other fruits, besides having a pleasant taste [17].…”
