Abstract

ABSTRACT This study examined the effect of using magnetized water on productive traits of Lohmann Brown hens during the egg production period (1 mo). A total of 400 hens were randomly distributed into 2 treatment groups with 10 replicates for each group. Hens were kept in 4 lines of 400 cages with the same environmental conditions. The first group (control) of hens in 2 lines of cages were provided tap water, and the second group (in 2 lines of cages) was provided magnetized water. The physical and chemical properties of water were determined using a pH meter, ion chromatography, and a spectrophotometer. Data of egg yield, egg weight, eggshell thickness, eggshell weight, and mortality rate were recorded. Blood calcium and phosphorus concentrations (mg/dL) were also evaluated in hens at the end of the experiment. Compared with tap water (control), the magnetized water was more (P
