| Abstract |
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of various levels of dietary inulin on intestinal calcium and phosphorous absorption, egg production, egg shell quality and some physiological traits in Bandarah laying hens. One hundred and twenty 54-wks-old of Bandarah laying hens were randomly assigned into 4 groups (30 hens each) and fed on the basal diets supplemented with 0 (control), 0.5, 1.0, or 1.5% inulin for 6 wks. Supplementing 1.0 or 1.5% inulin increased (P<0.05) live body weight, shell weight percentage, shell thickness, Haugh unit, calcium and phosphorous levels in both of shell and tibiae and the absorption of calcium and phosphorous in different parts of intestinal. Meanwhile, there were no significant (P<0.05) differences in feed consumption, serum estradiol level, and relative weights of ovary, oviduct and intestine and oviduct length among the treatments during the experimental period. Inulin supplementation increased (P<0.05) egg weight, egg production, serum calcium and phosphorous and intestinal lengths. Moreover, egg weight, egg production. shell weight percentage and shell thickness increased (P<0.05) with increase hen age. Serum magnesium level was increased (P<0.05). as affected by dietary 1.5 % inulin. In conclusion, inulin supplementation in laying hen diets especially at 1.0 or 1.5 % levels can improve egg production, egg shell quality and absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the intestinal of laying hens at late ages.
