Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of natural antioxidants sources on laying performances, egg quality and economic efficiency compared with dietary vitamin E supplementation during summer season. Two hundred and seventy 20 week old Babcock Brown that reached 40% egg production were distributed randomly into 9 treatments. Each treatment contained 30 birds in 6 replicates. The first treatment performed control treatment and treatments 2, 3, 4 and 5 fed diets contain Vitamin E (E) 100 mg/ kg diet, Green Tea extract (G) 4ml/kg diet, Tomatoes Puree (T) 5g/kg and Canthaxanthin (C) 4mg/kg diet respectively. Treatments 6, 7 ,8 and 9 fed diets contain G+T, G+ C, T+C and G+T+C,respectively. The overall results showed that, significant enhancer effect of all experimental treatments on average feed conversion, egg numbers, weight, math and yolk color score more than control groups. The combination between more than antioxidant source resulted in better values of egg production, egg quality and yolk analysis, the highest combination were triple mixture G+T+C and double mixture T+C. The group fed T+C showed the highest values of albumen height, yolk color, and yolk index. All supplementation treatments significant decreased yolk triglycerides (TG) and significant increased yolk Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAOC) compared with control. Single, double and triple supplementation improved egg production, egg quality, TG, TAOC and economic efficiency. Also, T + C and G +T + C were the best among all parameters and could be used as VitE as natural antioxidant sources for laying hens through summer season.
