Abstract

|
We investigated the quality characteristics of egg produced from laying hens with non-supplemented diets and diets supple-mented with organic minerals substrate of chitosan oligosaccharide or whey powder concentration. The substrate of chitosan oligosaccharide or whey powder concentration with organic minerals were mixed normal laying hen diet. Laying hens were fed diet for 45 days containing powdered chitosan oligosaccharide-Fe or whey protein concentration-Ca or normal food-additives. The egg weights, color of egg components, egg shell thickness, egg weights, bone (femur) strength and bone weights were increased compared to normal food-additive group (p<0.05). But, each effectiveness are different from chitosan oligosaccharide-minera land whey protein-mineral. These results suggest that organic minerals possesses the potential as supplement of laying hens diets to produce functional eggs.
