Effect of Dietary Incorporation of Ovirich on Production Performance, Nutrient Metabolizability and Feed Cost Economics of White leghorn layers

Present experiment was conducted for fourteen weeks to discern the effect of Ovirich (phytogenic-yeast-mineral supplement) on production performance and nutrient metabolizability in White Leghorn birds (Number 90; 22 weeks age) which were divided into three treatment groups using completely randomized design (CRD). The control group (T1) received the basal diet without any supplementation, while in treatment groups T2 and T3; the basal diet was supplemented with 0.75 kg and 1.0 kg of Ovirich supplement per ton of basal feed, respectively. In the last week, metabolic trial was conducted. Significant differences (P≤0.05) were observed in net feed efficiency index, digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, crude protein and ether extract. Feed cost per dozen eggs was lowest in the T2 supplemented group. It can be concluded that Ovirich at an inclusion level of 0.75 kg/ton in the basal diet improves feed efficiency in White Leghorn layers.
