Abstract
The experiment was conducted to evaluate the production performance and egg quality of laying hens supplemented with phytobiotics and magnetized drinking water. This experiment used 2700 gauss level in Magnetized Drinking Water (MDW). The phytobiotics had two form: the non-encapsulated phytobiotics (PTO) and encapsulated phytobiotics (EPTO). There were untreated water (control) and the treated water (MDW, PTO, PTO+MDW, EPTO, EPTO+MDW). The treatments were presented by 0.6% for each treatment. The result showed highly significant (p<0.01) improvement on feed conversion ratio (FCR) but no significant effect on other production performance variables including feed intake, hen day production (HDP), egg mass, and income over feed cost (IOFC). The results indicated a highly significant improvement (p<0.01) on egg weight and yolk cholesterol. There were no significant effects on shape index (SI), shell weight, shell thickness, Haugh unit (HU), albumen height, yolk weight, yolk index (YI), and yolk color of egg quality variables. It was concluded that the encapsulated form (EPTO and EPTO+MDW) had the best improvement on FCR and yolk cholesterol, on another hand the non-encapsulated form (PTO and PTO+MDW) increased the egg weight of laying hens
Highlights
The use of Antibiotic Growth Promoters (AGPs) has been prohibited in the livestock production
Phytobiotic optimizes the gut system and improves the performance production and egg quality of laying hens by utilizing the bioactive compounds which are contained in the plant
This study aims to evaluate the effect of phytobiotics supplementation and magnetized drinking water on production performance and egg quality of laying hens
Summary
The use of Antibiotic Growth Promoters (AGPs) has been prohibited in the livestock production. The magnetized drinking water in 1850, 3000, 6500, and14500 Gs levels increases water quality improves growth hormone, production performance, egg quality, and immune function of laying hens (Abobatta, 2019; Darsi et al, 2017; El-Sabrout and Hanafy, 2017; El-Sabry et al, 2020; Mitre, 2018). Using magnetized drinking water increases body weight and feed conversion ratio (FCR) in poultry effects for improving heart functions, performance production, egg quality, reproduction hormones (estrogen and progesterone), antioxidants in the blood, all biochemical and physiological. The Effect of Phytobiotics Supplementation and Magnetized Drinking Water on Production Performance and Egg Quality of Laying Hens. This study aims to evaluate the effect of phytobiotics supplementation and magnetized drinking water on production performance and egg quality of laying hens
