The effects of dietary supplements on egg production, feed
intake, FCR, and egg weight are shown in Table 2.
Supplementing the basal diet with EOMand ANT significantly
increased egg production and improved FCR in comparison
with the control diet. However, egg production and
FCR were similar between EOMand ANT treatment groups.
A similar result was observed by Ma et al. [14] who found
that a diet supplemented with herbal medicine (Ligustrum
lucidum and Schisandra chinensis) significantly improved egg
production and FCR in laying hens. In addition, a recent
study [22] found that in comparison with a control diet, a diet
supplemented with EOMsignificantly improved egg production
