Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluatethe effects of including pequi pulp flour (PPF) in laying hendiets onperformance and egg quality.A total of 240 Hisex Brown strain were randomly assigned into 5 groups and were fed diets containing PPF at the level of 0%, 0.125%, 0.250%, 0.375%, and 0.5%. The experiment lasted63 days (3 periods of 21 days).The variables of performance andeggquality were submitted to linear and quadratic regression analysis at the level of 5% probability.Theoutcomes suggest that neither performance nor egg quality wasaffected (p > 0.05) by different levels of PPF.Dietary inclusion ofPPFtested in the present study wasnot sufficient to demonstrate improvement in the productive performance of birdsas well as in egg quality.Because of the lack of responses, additional research is needed to evaluate higher levels of PPF in the diets for laying hens.
