Layers divided in to three groups; Group 1 (Control group) e The layers fed with standard
commercial food masses with Biobantox, BMD and formaldehyde. Group 2 (EM Treatment
1) e The layers fed with standard commercial food masses with AEM solution (5 L/ton
feed). Group 3 (EM Treatment 2) e The layers fed with AEM (5 L/ton feed) treated commercial
food masses þ AEM treated (2 L/1000 L) drinking water. Increased monthly average
egg production, egg weight and the decreased mortality ratio and egg wastages identified
with the group 3 EM treated layers. The values of egg shell weight, thickness, yolk weight,
yolk index and Haugh index found higher in group 3 EM treated layers. The content of
calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc and total protein identified maximum
in the group 3 EM treated layers. The concentration of total cholesterol, saturated fat,
trans-fat found reduced and the monounsaturated, polyunsaturated found higher in EM
group 2 and 3 layers. The total cost identified as Rs. 110.80, 38.00 and 52.50 (in Indian Rupees)
for group 1, group 2 and group 3 treatments respectively. It has inferred from the
present findings that, the effect of EM treatments in commercial layers of the egg production
showed good quality parameters and economic value.
