| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60%) of corn dried distillers grains with soluble (DDGS). A total of six hundred thirty (24wks old) Isa Brown laying hens were randomly assigned to seven treatments each containing three replicates in each replicate thirty hens. Hens were fed for a two weeks as experimental period after transition feeding to corn DDGS inclusion over a 12-wk. Result showed that egg yolk cholesterol, uric acid Percentage of the Yolk, Egg Shell Thickness, and yolk color were significant differences (P<0.05). Also, Result indicated that no significant effect of DDGS on triglyceride, percentage of the Shell after first period. Percentage of the Albumen in the two periods second period and third period. The present results show that DDGS can be successfully fed at levels 20, 30% in laying hen diet without adverse effect on laying performance. | ||
