<b>Maize kernel size and texture: production parameters, quality of eggs of the laying hens and electricity intake

Abstract: ABSTRACT. The influence of maize corn size and texture on the performance parameters of laying hens and power consumption required for grinding maize corn were evaluated. The experiment was carried out on 384 Isa Brown hens, 36 weeks old, penned in a conventional aviary with 562.5 cm 2 bird -1 stocking rate. The treatments were distributed in a completely randomized 2 x 3 factorial design (maize textures: flint and dent; and milling degree: fine, medium and coarse) with eight replicates of eight birds per plot… Show more

“…Since the type and proportion of the endosperm in maize are directly associated with kernel hardness (Vieira Filho et al, 2015), it was expected that kernel hardness would significantly affect the life history of IMM, namely hybrids with harder kernels would be less vulnerable to damage caused by this pest. This is why kernel hardness should be an important parameter when choosing maize hybrid for growing and storage.…”
