The effect increasing levels of clover meal on performance, egg traits and blood parameters of laying hens

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of increasing levels of clover meal (CM) on egg production, egg traits and blood metabolites of laying hens. In this experiment 144 Hy-line (W36) laying hens were used from 65-75 weeks of age in 4 treatments, 3 replicates and 12 hens in each replicate in a completely randomized design. Experimental groups included: 1) control group, 2) group with 1% of CM, 3) group with 2% of CM, 4) group with 3% of CM. The results showed that using CM has significant effects on performance, egg traits and blood metabolites of laying hens (p
