Abstract

The purpose of this study was to study the effects of Artemisia argyi powder on performance, egg quality, and serum biochemical and antioxidant indices of laying hens. A total of 180 healthy 40-week-old Jingfen No. 1 laying hens were selected as experimental animals, which were randomly divided into 3 groups with 6 replicates in each group and 10 chickens in each replicate. The hens in the control group were fed a basal diet, and those in the other two groups were fed the diets using different sources of Artemisia argyi powder (No.1 and No.2 Artemisia argyi powder) to replace the wheat bran with the substitution amount of 3% in the basal diet, respectively. The preparatory experiment period was 7 days, and the experiment period was 56 days. The results showed as follows: 1) compared with the control group, dietary Artemisia argyi powder significantly increased the laying rate of laying hens (P<0.05), and the laying rate in the No.1 Artemisia argyi powder group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05); dietary Artemisia argyi powder significantly reduced the feed to egg ratio of laying hens (P<0.05). 2) At day 28 of the experiment, compared with the control group, dietary Artemisia argyi powder significantly increased the egg yolk color of laying hens (P<0.05), and the egg yolk color in the No.1 Artemisia argyi powder group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). 3) Compared with the control group, dietary Artemisia argyi powder significantly increased the serum glutathione content and catalase activity of laying hens (P<0.05), and the serum glutathione content and catalase activity in the No.2 Artemisia argyi powder group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). It can be seen that dietary 3% Artemisia argyi powder can improve the performance and the egg quality, and enhance the antioxidant ability of laying hens.
