Description
Sayed AbdElrasoul and co-authors test pomegranate peel extract as a feed additive for aging laying hens, in this 2025 study. The extract is rich in plant compounds with strong antioxidant activity. Keeping older hens laying longer has both money and green benefits for producers.
The team fed 112 hens, eighty weeks old, a plain diet or one with the extract at three dose levels. The lowest dose gave the strongest gains in egg output, shell strength, and feed use. Treated hens also showed better yolk traits and blood measures. The highest antioxidant capacity appeared at the lowest dose as well. The findings suggest a cheap by-product could extend the useful laying life of hens.
