Sunflower Meal and Supplementation of an Enzyme Complex in Layer Diets

Abstract: Alternative feedstuffs, eggs quality, feed costs, poultry. ABSTRACTThe objective of this experiment was to evaluate the performance of 64-to 79-wk-old laying hens fed diets supplemented with an enzyme complex (EC) and containing increasing sunflower meal (SFM) levels. A total of 384 Hy-Line Brown layers were distributed according to a randomized block design in a 4 × 2 factorial arrangement (four levels of SFM, and inclusion or not of EC), with eight replicates of six birds each unit. The levels of SFM inclus… Show more

“…However, egg mass was higher among the IDC♂ × Fay♀ pullets (25.07 g/bird/day) when compared to the IDC♂ × WLH♀ counterparts (21.71 g/bird/day). This finding is partially in agreement with the findings of Anene et al (2020) and Araújo et al (2015). Egg mass production under farmer's condition depends on the availability of the feed ingredients for scavenging as well as the amount of feed supplementation.…”

“…Egg production, mean egg weight, and egg mass were calculated (Egg production = the number of produced egg/number of hens x 100. Egg mass = egg production (%) x mean egg weight (g) (Araújo et al, 2015).…”
