Abstract: The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of coated sodium butyrate (CSB) on production performance, egg quality, serum biochemistry, digestive enzyme activity, intestinal health of laying hens. 720 hens at 52 weeks were assigned in five groups including basal diet (control) and a basal diet supplemented with 250, 500, 750, and 1000 mg/kg CSB for 8 weeks. The results showed that the 500 mg/kg CSB group increased laying rate but 500 and 750 mg/kg groups decreased feed conversion ratio (p < .05)… Show more

“…In addition, the study demonstrated that supplementation with 800 mg/kg of CSB increased egg production and had a positive impact on FCR throughout the trial period. A similar result was obtained by Miao et al (2021) , who reported that diet supplemented with CSB markedly elevated egg production and reduced FCR. The increase in egg production and feed efficiency may be attributed to the improved intestinal morphology and digestive capacity that induce the intestinal availability of other nutrients for the benefit of the intestinal health.…”

“…The control and S500 groups that had a significant influence on laying rate [ 17 ] were chosen to detect cecal microbiota differences. We calculated the alpha-diversity to further assess the change of cecum microbiota during CSB induction.…”

“…A total of 720 52-week-old Huafeng laying hens at late laying period (initial laying rate = 73.6 ± 0.3%) were arbitrarily allotted to five treatments [ 17 ], each of which comprised six replicates ( n = 24 laying hens). The specific protocol of the groups was as follows: 1. basal diet (control); 2. basal diet + 250 mg CSB/kg diet (S250); 3. basal diet + 500 mg CSB/kg diet (S500); 4. basal diet + 750 mg CSB/kg diet (S750); and 5. basal diet + 1000 mg CSB/kg diet (S1000).…”
