| Summary: | In this study, the effects of seaweed soluble powder (maxicrop), used as growth promoter in
plan ts on egg production, feed intake, feed efficiency and
egg yolk color in hens were investigated.<p>
Total 108 hen s aged 44 weeks were u sed and three
groups were designed. During 12 weeks, the anima/s fed
control feed, the feed containing 0.1 % and. 1 % seaweed
powder. Later, all groups fed control ratian during 5
weeks.<p>
In first period, average egg production in groups were
68.23, 74.45 and 62.05 %, respectively (p<0.05). Feed
intake for 1 kg eggs was tower in the group fed% 0.1 seaweed
powder.<p>
lt was found, the seaweed powder affected positively
to yolk color, but didn't to feed intake.<p>
As a result, to increase egg yie!d, seaweed powder
may use in poultry diets but it is needed additional researches
about this area. |
