Abstract: This study aims to evaluate the effects of the inclusion of different homoeopathic products on the diet of laying quails. We used 200 Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) distributed in a completely randomized design consisting of the adoption of four experimental diets, with eight replicates of five quails each. The treatments were control (without additives), calcium carbonate (vehicle used in the products), Fertsigo®, and Ovosigo®. We determined the performance, egg quality, and blood biochemical pr… Show more

“…The level of supplementation of organic minerals in diets of laying birds, according to Carvalho et al (2015), can be supplemented to up to 70% of the NRC requirement without harming the internal and external quality of the eggs. Eberhart et al (2021) also did not observe effects of dietary supplementation with organic or inorganic minerals on specific gravity; percentages of albumen, yolk and shell; shell thickness; and percentage of broken and cracked eggs in commercial laying hens in the second production cycle. Alves et al (2015) only observed effects of organic minerals in diets for laying hens on the variable shell thickness, where they obtained better results; an effect of mineral type on the specific gravity of the eggs was not observed.…”

“…According to the results found in the present research, the Hisex Brown ® strain showed better eggshell quality, thus this provided higher internal egg quality. According to Eberhart et al, (2021) the shell quality is the main concern of the poultry industry, due to economic losses caused by changes in this constituent of the egg.…”

“…Valentim et al ( 2019) compared the performance of two laying hen strains (Hisex Brown® and Black Avifran®) and found no significant differences in egg weight, albumen weight, yolk weight and shell weight, albumen percentage, yolk percentage and shell percentage, marketable eggs, specific gravity, or egg production. The shell quality is the main concern of the poultry business, according to Eberhart et al (2021), due to economic losses…”
