Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of butyric acid triglyceride and prebiotics on performance, egg quality traits and blood lipids of laying hens.  A 2 × 4 factorial experiment with 4 levels of butyric acid triglyceride (0%, 0.15%, 0.30%, 0.45%) and 2 levels of prebiotic (0 and 0.15%) based a completely randomized design were conducted. One hundred and ninety-two 33-week-old (Hy Line- W36) hens were randomly divided to 8 dietary treatments, with 3 replicates of 10 each. The results of this study showed a significant difference in percentage of egg production, egg mass and feed conversion ratio among dietary treatments (P<0.05). So that the higher percentages of egg production, egg mass production were observed in diet contained 0.15 % prebiotic alone and diet contained 0.15% acid + 0.15% prebiotic. The diet contained 0.30% acid + 0.15% prebiotic had lower feed conversion ratio. The egg weight (60.94 g) and daily feed intake (91.77 g) did not affected by dietary treatments (P>0.05). The dietary treatment did not affect egg quality traits (P>0.05). The blood cholesterol, LDL, HDL and Triglyceride were not affected by dietary treatments (P>0.05). It is concluded that supplementation of 0.15% prebiotic alone and 0.15% butyric acid triglyceride and 0.15 prebiotics together may improve the laying performance without any effect on egg quality and blood lipids parameters
