Abstract

The study was conducted between November and December 2018, to determine the influence of feed type and period on egg quality traits. A total of 246 commercial laying hens were used for the study. The experimental birds were managed in battery cages system and fed ad-libitum. The parameters recorded were egg weight (EW), egg length (EL), egg width (EWd), shell thickness (ST), shell weight (SW), yolk weight (YW), yolk length (YL) and albumen weight (AW). Data generated were analyzed using analysis of variance. The overall mean EW, EL, EWd, ST, SW, YW, YL and AW were 56.73 kg, 53.18 mm, 44.47 mm, 0.49 mm, 7.71 kg, 14.15 kg, 36.08 mm and 34.78 kg. Feed type had no effect on all traits observed. However, significantly higher EW, EL, EWd, YW and AW were observed in the morning period than afternoon hours .
