Responses of laying performance, eggshell quality, calcium, and phosphorus metabolism to feeding patterns and dietary available phosphorus levels in aged laying hens by Dan Shao, Liangji Liu, Haibing Tong

“…The experiment followed a 3 × 2 factorial arrangement of three feeding patterns (feeding twice a day, 1/2 daily feeding at 8:00, and 1/2 daily feeding at 14:00; disequilibrium feeding twice a day, 1/3 daily feeding at 8:00, and 2/3 daily feeding at 14:00; feeding thrice a day, 1/3 daily feeding at 8:00, 1/3 daily feeding at 14:00, and 1/3 daily feeding at 18:00) and two available phosphorus levels (0.32 %, 0.27 %) was carried out with a total of 528 Hy-Line Brown laying hens aged 62–74 weeks. Each group had 8 replicates of 11 hens. The results revealed that feeding patterns and phosphorus levels significantly interacted with egg production ratios, soft shell and broken egg ratios in weeks 9–12 (P < 0.05). …”
