Effect of using organic microminerals on performance and external quality of eggs of commercial lay

Summary

This study explores the impact of using organic microminerals (glycinates of zinc, copper, and manganese) in the diet of laying hens, compared to their inorganic counterparts (sulfates). The findings show that organic forms offer superior bioavailability, resulting in significant improvements in production:

• Zootechnical performance: better feed conversion and increased egg weight

• External quality: thicker, stronger, and more elastic eggshells

• Production uniformity: reduced breakage rate and improved weight consistency

The study also highlights that enhanced absorption of organic minerals reduces negative interactions with other nutrients, promoting better intestinal health and improved metabolic efficiency.

Conclusion Integrating organic microminerals into feed formulations is an effective nutritional strategy to optimize egg productivity and quality, while meeting the demands of sustainability and profitability in poultry farming.
