In the experiment, 196 laying hens (ISA BROWN) were used, and they were randomly distributed to eight nutritional treatments at the rate of six replicates for each treatment (four birds for each replicate). As follows: The first treatment (control) without additives, the second and third treatment, 0.2% grape seed (Khushnau) powder and dried tomato (Bazian) were added respectively, and the fourth treatment was added 100 mg BHT. The fifth treatment was added 0.1% grape seed (Khushnau) powder + 0.1% dried tomato (Bazian) powder , The sixth treatment was added 0.1% grape seed (Khushnau) powder + 50 mg BHT, the seventh treatment was added 0.1% dried tomato (Bazian) + 50 mg BHT, the eighth treatment was added 0.05% grape seed (Khushnau) powder + 0.05% dried tomato (Bazian) + 25 mg BHT. The results indicated that the addition of grape seed powder leads to improvement of the productive characteristics (egg production, egg weight, egg mass, feed consumed, feed conversion factor) for laying hens. | ||
