Effect of dietary daidzein supplementation on reproductive performance, egg quality and bone mineralization in laying hens at first-cycle of production via reproductive-growth axis
Daidzein (Da), an isoflavone, resembles natural oestrogen in structure and activity. We investigated the effects of dietary Da on the reproductive performance, egg quality, and bone mineralisation of hens in the pre-peak laying period. A total of 432 laying hens (110 days) were randomly allocated to...
