Abstract :
Although Turkey is one of the world s most important countries with egg production, total production is not at its current potential. The most effective way to increase total egg production is to increase productivity. In this study, egg production efficiency of rations formed by adding humate to laying hen’s basal diet at various ratios was analyzed using Gamma and McNally models. It was determined that humate added at 0.15% into diet of laying hens gives the maximum contribution to egg production. As a result, it is suggested that further investigations in different regions on different species and breed of poultry are needed to clarify the effect of humate supplemented into diets of laying hen on the egg production.
