| This study aimed to determine the effect of supplementation synbiotic and different levels of sumac powder into laying hens diet on eggs quality traits. For five months used 216 laying hens of Lohmann Brown, 46 week old, be distributed in 18 ground pens (1. 5 × 2 m / pen) , 12 hens / pen, were randomly divided in to six treatments (3 Rep. / treat.). Hens in the first treatment (T1) were fed a standard layer diet (control), hens in T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 were fed a standard layer diet was added with 0.3% synbiotic, 0.5% sumac, 1% sumac, 0.3% synbiotic + 0.5% sumac powder, and 0.3% synbiotic +1% sumac respectively. The results showed an improvement in the eggs quality traits of hens fed the synbiotic and sumac powder, since significantly increase (P≤0.05) an achieved in each of eggs weight, shell weight, shell thickness, yolk weight, yolk index, albumen weight and haugh unit. While unaffected the color yolk by added treatments.
