Abstract
Aim: The aim was to study
the effect of supplementation of lysine producing microbes (LPM)
as an in vivo source of lysine on performance and egg
quality characters of post-peak layers.
Materials and Methods: BIS (1992) specified diets (except
crude protein [CP] and lysine) were prepared using either soybean
meal (SBM) or groundnut extractions (GNE) or sunflower extractions
(SFE) with 16 and 15% CP resulting in six control diets. Further,
each control diet was fortified with either synthetic lysine or
LPM to meet BIS (1992) specified lysine requirement resulting in
the set of 12 test diets. Each of the eighteen diets was offered
to quadruplets groups of 4 post-peak (52 weeks) commercial laying
hens in each. The trial lasted for 119 days.
Result:
The results revealed that the feed consumption and body weight
changes and Roche yolk color and yolk index were significantly (p
≤ 0.05) different among different treatments. However, egg
production, feed efficiency, egg weight, egg shape index, Haugh
unit score, albumen index and shell thickness, and net returns
remained non-significant (p ≤ 0.05) among different treatments.
Among main factors, protein level (16% and 15% CP) made a
significant (p ≤ 0.05) difference in egg production (79.6 and
75.1%) and feed efficiency (2.64 and 2.81 kg feed/kg egg mass,
respectively). Among protein source GNE- and SFE-based diet fed
groups showed significantly (p < 0.0%) higher feed consumption and
body weight gain than SBM based diets fed birds. Yolk color (7.0,
7.3 and 7.3, respectively) and yolk index (0.40, 0.38 and 0.43,
respectively) were significantly (p ≤ 0.05) different from the
protein sources. CP level and Protein source interaction effects
showed significant differences in albumen index and Haugh unit
score.
Conclusion: Optimum level of protein (16% CP) and GNE as a
source of protein tended to be superior in increasing the
performance and egg characteristics of post-peak layers and
supplementation of lysine in either synthetic or LPM form found to
be beneficial in optimizing their performance.
Keywords: egg characteristics, lysine, lysine producing
microbes, post peak layers, performance.
