摘要: 1. Laying hens, 225 white and brown, were fed for 90 d to compare a control diet with diets containing 70, 140, 210 280 g/kg chia (Salvia hispanica L.) seed. 2. Hen weight was not significantly affected by diet; however, manure production less the hens on chia. 3. Egg production, yolk weight, percentage determined at 0, 30, 43, 58, 72 90. 4. A sensory evaluation conducted eggs produced during last week of trial. 5. No significant differences in egg found among treatments brown hens. 6. With diet, fewer lighter than did diet. 7. detected until 8. On this date yolks 70 whereas heavier yolks, compared 9. Yolk as lower throughout trial except 58 140 Significant differences, only g/ kg 10. taste preference or flavour any control.
