Abstract

Jackfruit is a good source of bioactive compounds, such as carotenoids. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the inclusion of jackfruit pulp (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam) powder in the diet of Rhode Island Red hens on egg quality. Thirty 34-week-old hens were used, distributed in two treatments (control and 6 % jackfruit pulp), which were fed for 6 weeks. Feed consumption, weight gain, laying percentage and egg quality were determined. The results indicate that the inclusion of jackfruit pulp in the diet for laying hens improved laying percentage and there was color modification in the L* and b* values, without causing eggshell fracture problems. Due to the above mentioned, it is concluded that jackfruit pulp is a good alternative for the feeding of laying hens, since it does not negatively affect their productive parameters and improves egg yolk quality.
