| Abstract | ||
| An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of using different types of animal or plant protein (imported or local) concentrates in laying hens diets. A total of 400 hens (38 weeks of age) of ISA BROWN strain were used. Hens were fed four layer diets (treatments) during all of the experiment period (20 weeks). Diets were containing four types of 10% protein concentrate as follow: imported animal protein concentrate, local animal protein concentrate, imported plant protein concentrate and local plant protein concentrate. Results of the experiment showed that hens fed on layer diet containing 10% local animal protein concentrate had a significant (P<0.05) reduction in egg production, average of egg weight, number of accumulative eggs and feed conversion ratio than those hens fed on all other treatments. Also, results reveled a significant (P<0.05) improvement in egg quality characteristic for hens fed layer diets containing 10% imported plant protein concentrate as compared to layer hens fed on all other diets. There was no difference in cholesterol concentration between treatments. It can be concluded that layer hens fed local plant protein concentrate were better performance than those fed local animal protein concentrate in this experiment. | ||
