ABSTRACT

The study was conducted to investigate the effects of dried baker’s yeast inclusion in rice husk-based diets on performance and egg quality parameters in laying hens. A total of 150 Isa brown laying hens aged 25 weeks were allocated to five dietary treatments (0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00 % yeast inclusion level) with three replicates per treatment in a complete randomized design.  The experiment lasted for twelve weeks. Hens fed diets with yeast had higher (P
