A total of 120 laying hens (57 weeks old) were randomly assigned to 5 groups and lemon juice (LJ) was daily added to drinking water (0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2.5%,5%) during 4 weeks. Egg production increased (p<0.05) in 1% and 2.5% LJ groups. The LJ had no effect on feed and water intake, live weight, feed conversion ratio, egg mass and weight. Haugh unit increased in 1% LJ group and egg yolk color was lighter in 5% LJ group (p<0.05). The LJ had no effect on eggshell thickness, albumin and yolk index. Serum HDL levels increased and Total Antioxidant Status decreased in 0.5% LJ group (p<0.05). The LJ juice had no effect on serum AST, ALT, LDL, Cholesterol, Glucose, Total Protein, IgG levels and Oxidant Status. Blood lymphocyte decreased (p<0.05) in 2.5% LJ over control, however, red blood cell numbers (p<0.01) increased in 1% LJ group. The LJ had no effect on other hematology parameters. In conclusion, the water supplementation of LJ showed positive effects on production without adverse effects on egg quality traits and health of late-phase laying hens. However, the positive responses may be more relevant to acidity of water.
