| dc.description.abstract | The study was conducted to determine the egg production, egg performance, egg quality and income over feed cost of layers fed diet with cokctail enzyme. A total of 176 Lohman layers (44weeks old) were used in the study. Four dietary treatments were randomly assigned to hens fed with standard layers diet (-60 kcal ME/kg; -4% digestible amino acids and negative control diet + cocktail enzyme. Each diet had 11 replications consisting of 4 birds per replication. The results of the study indicated that inclusion of cocktail enzyme (SLD+CE and NCD+CE) to the diet of the laying hens significantly increased the egg production compared to the negative control diet, but it is not significantly different compared to the standard layer diet though (SLD+CE and NCD+CE) were numerically higher. Numerical differences were also observed in FCR, egg weight feed intake. Egg classification and egg quality were not affected by the inclusion of cocktail enzyme to the diet. The feed used by the NCD+CE was slightly higher compared to the treatment SLD and SLD+CE by 3.59 kg. and 1.53 kg., respectively. However, the income over feed cost remain better for the NCD+CE compared to the remaining treatments by 6.08%, 5.19% and 5.78%. | |
