Efficiency of PHYTOCEE® on Egg Production in Layers
Evaluated on commercial layer farm conditions to measure egg production and egg quality.
Figure: Effect of PHYTOCEE® on weekly HDEP
Objective: To evaluate the effect of PHYTOCEE on egg production and egg quality in layers.
Materials and Methods: Two flocks (n=896) of BV-300-layer birds at 43-weeks age in the same commercial layer farm were selected, and maintained as control group (T1) PHYTOCEE treatment group (T2). T1 and T2 were raised on normal commercial feed and concurrently supplemented with PHYTOCEE at 200 g/ton for 8 weeks to T2. The assessment parameters like hen day egg production (HDEP), and Haugh unit were evaluated for 8 weeks (i.e., week 44 to week 51).
Dose: 200 g/ton
Duration: 8 weeks
Birds: BV-300 layers
Sample Size: n = 896
Effect of PHYTOCEE® on Haugh unit of fresh and stored (11-days) egg
Conclusion
Inclusion of PHYTOCEE in commercial layer diet caused augmentation of hen day egg production and improved Haugh unit of fresh and stored eggs.
Outcome
Hence, PHYTOCEE supplementation at 200 g/ton could be recommended for augmentation of egg production and enhancement of egg quality in commercial layer farm.
