Effect of Pelleted Fermented Feed in Production Performance of Laying Hens

Abstract

Abstract lactobacilli, Bacillus subtills, Bifidobacterium, Saccharomyces cerevisiae were applied to produce fermented feeds (FF), The FF was pelleted to investigated for its influences in production performance for laying hens, the (FF) was ferment with 10 g/kg feed of the probiotic with a wetting ratio of half a liter/kg of feed for 48 hours where it was used at rates 0, 25%, 50 %, 75%, and 100% for the treatments T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 respectively, and the duration of the study lasted for seven periods, each period was two weeks, as for the following study results: Significant superiority (P<0.05) for treatment T5 during The first and sixth period and the treatment T4 during the second, third and fourth periods compared with the control treatment in the percentage of egg production, in egg weight significantly increased (P<0.05) of treatment T3 in the second, sixth and seventh periods, and treatment T4 during the third period exceeded treatment T5 during the fourth period, men while in the feed conversion factor, T4 treatment improved significantly (P≤0.05) during the third period and together with The treatment of T5 during the fourth period and all treatments of (FF) in the fifth period and the treatments T3, T5 in the sixth period and the treatment T3 in the seventh period, a significant (P<0.05) superiority was obtained for the treatments T4 and T5 during the second, third, fourth and sixth periods in the cumulative egg production and egg mass.
