Abstract

The present study was carried out to investigate
the effects of different forms of zinc (no zinc, ZnO  and Zn-Met) and butyric acid on internal egg
quality traits and performance in Hy-Line W36 strain laying hens using 144
chickens from 74 to 83 weeks of age in the second phase of laying. A complete
randomized block design with 3 × 2 factorial arrangement with six treatments, six
replicates and four layers per replicate for nine weeks was used. Performance
parameters were measured daily and quality traits were measured in three
periods of age. The results of the experiment showed that the main effects of
organic acid and three forms of zinc on egg production, defective eggs, egg
weight, egg mass, feed conversion ratio and daily feed intake were not
significant during the whole experiment. During the period of 74 to 77 weeks,
feed conversion ratio for the treatment containing mineral zinc and organic
acid was higher than other treatments (p < /em>
