Duodenal Calcium Uptake, Femur Ash, and Eggshell Quality Decline with Age and Increase Following Molt
Poultry Science, 73(10), 1590–1596.
author keywords: LAYING HEN; INTESTINAL CALCIUM UPTAKE; FEMUR ASH; SHELL QUALITY; MOLT
MeSH headings : Age Factors; Animals; Bone Density; Calcium / metabolism; Chickens / physiology; Egg Shell / anatomy & histology; Feathers / physiology; Female; Femur / physiology; Intestinal Absorption
topics (OpenAlex): Animal Nutrition and Physiology; Rabbits: Nutrition, Reproduction, Health; Moringa oleifera research and applications
TL;DR:
An experiment was conducted to test the hypothesis that the decline in eggshell quality over time during egg production, and its improvement after molting, paralleled the rate of calcium uptake by the duodenum of the laying hen.
