Effect of Cannabis sativa supplement in organic laying hen diet on production performance and egg quality
Main Article Content
Abstract
The result showed that using Cannabis sativa supplement significantly increased production performance (p<0.01). Dietary treatment with 1.0 and 1.5 % of cannabis sativa supplement offered the highest rate of production performance at 76.79 and 76.43 % respectively. However, egg weight, eggshell thickness, eggshell weight, yolk weight, albumen weight, albumen height, yolk color and haugh units did not significant difference (p>0.05). In conclusion, Cannabis sativa supplement can be used in dietary for organic laying hens at 1.0 %
