MOS improves digestion in laying hens
150 hens aged 56 weeks received 0.05–0.2% MOS for 77 days. MOS lowered blood triglycerides and LDL, raised HDL, and at 0.10–0.15% improved digestibility of dry matter, protein and fat. Antibody responses were not changed in this trial.
Practical takeawayMOS helps hens get more out of their feed, even when it does not change vaccine response.
