Effect of Dandelion Extracts Supplementation to Laying Hen Diet on Performance and Egg Quality

Öz

This study was carried out to determine the effect of adding different ratios of dandelion (Taraxacum offici- nale) extract (KHE) to layer hen rations on performance and egg internal-external quality parameters. In the study, 96 layer Atak-S hens at the age of 22 weeks were used. Chickens were divided into 4 groups, each consisting of six sub- groups, and arranged in a way to have four chickens in each subgroup. The study was conducted over a period of 90 days. During the study, the control group was fed with basal feed, and the experimental groups were fed with feeds with 0.30%, 0.60% and 0.90% KHE added to the basal feed, respectively. Although there was no significant difference between the groups in terms of egg production (P>0.05), it was determined that the average egg production at the end of the study was numerically higher in the groups fed with KHE-containing feeds compared to the control group. There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, live weight, egg yolk colour averages (P>0.05). In the study, it was determined that egg weight in the groups containing 0.90% KHE was significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05). Egg shell thickness were also significantly increased in 0.30% and 0.60% KHE containing groups (P<0.05). It was concluded that dandelion extract has a positive effect on egg quali- ty in laying hens and more studies should be done on this subject.

Yumurta Tavuğu Karma Yemlerine İlave Edilen Karahindiba Ekstresinin Performans ve Yumurta Kalitesine Etkisi

Öz

Bu çalışma, yumurtacı tavuk rasyonlarına farklı oranlarda karahindiba (Taraxacum officinale) ekstresi (KHE) ilave- sinin performans ve yumurta iç-dış kalite parametrelerine etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada 22 haftalık yaşta, 96 adet yumurtacı Atak-S tavuk kullanılmıştır. Tavuklar, her biri altı alt gruptan oluşan dört gruba ayrıl- mış ve her alt grupta dört tavuk olacak şekilde düzenlenmiştir. Çalışma 90 günlük periyotta yürütülmüştür. Çalışma süresince kontrol grubu bazal yem, deneme grupları ise bazal yeme sırasıyla, %0.30, %0.60 ve %0.90 oranında KHE eklenen yemlerle beslenmiştir. Yumurta verimi bakımından gruplar arasında anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmamakla birlikte (P>0.05), KHE içeren yemlerle beslenen gruplarda çalışma sonu ortalama yumurta veriminin kontrol grubuna göre rakamsal olarak daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Yem tüketimi, yemden yararlanma oranı, canlı ağırlık ve yumurta sarı rengi ortalamaları bakımından gruplar arasında anlamlı bir farklılık tespit edilmemiştir (P>0.05). Çalışmada %0.90 KHE içeren grupta yumurta ağırlığının kontrol grubuna göre önemli oranda yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır (P<0.05). Yu- murta kabuk kalınlığı da %0.30 ve %0.60 KHE içeren gruplarda önemli oranda artmıştır (P<0.05). Sonuç olarak; yu- murta tavuklarında KHE’sinin yumurta kalitesi üzerine olumlu etkiye sahip olabileceği ve bu konuda daha fazla çalışma yapılması gerektiği kanaatine varılmıştır.
