Abstract

This research investigates the effects of combining inorganic trace minerals (ITMs) and organic trace minerals (OTMSs) on the performance and egg quality of laying hens. The study employed a completely randomized design (CRD), assigning 60 laying hens to three treatment groups, each consisting of 10 replications of two hens. The treatment groups were as follows: T0 = commercial feed (control), T1 = commercial feed + 500 grams/ton ITMSfeed, and T2 = commercial feed + 500 grams/ton ITMSfeed + 500 grams/ton OTMSS feed. The results revealed that the treatments did not significantly affect performance (P > 0.05). However, eggshell weight was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the T1 and T2 groups compared to the T0 group. Eggshell thickness was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the T2 group compared to the T0 and T1 groups. In conclusion, the addition of a combination of inorganic trace minerals (ITMs) and organic trace minerals (OTMs) to the feed can significantly improve eggshell weight and thickness but does not have a significant effect on the overall performance of laying hens.
