In the present study, we determined the potential effects of ellagic acid and mesocarp extract of Punica granatum on the productive and reproduction performance of laying hens. Five treatment groups were setup: (1) control group (without ellagic acid), (2) 50mg of ellagic acid, (3) 100mg of ellagic acid, (4) 200mg of ellagic acid, and (5) mesocarp extract of P. granatum. All the groups were investigated for feed intake, body weight, egg production, egg quality, fertility, hatchability, antioxidant status of serum and liver, lipid peroxidation, and antibacterial activities. Egg production, feed intake, and bodyweight were significantly increased (p < 0.05) with 100mg of ellagic acid and P. granatum extract while no significant effect was observed on albumen and yolk weight, yolk index, yolk color, egg-shape index, and Haughunit. Both ellagic acid and P. granatum extract significantly improved hatchability while 100 and 200mg/kg of ellagic acid numerically decreased fertility. Besides, ellagic acid (100mg/kg) and P. granatum extract significantly decreased malondialdehyde concentration and increased total antioxidant capacity, glutathione peroxidase, and total superoxide dismutase in serum and liver samples of laying hens (p < 0.05). The lipid peroxidation was decreased among the treatment groups, with 100mg of ellagic acid and P. granatum extract showed the best activity. Moreover, ellagic acid demonstrated strong killing activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus while it was ineffective against methicillin-resistant S. aureus. Our results conclude that ellagic acid and P. granatum promoted egg production, hatchability, and antioxidant enzyme activities of the laying hens.
