The Effect of Feeding Hens a Peanut Skin-Containing Diet on Hen Performance, and Shell Egg Quality and Lipid Chemistry

AGRICULTURE-BASEL, 11(9).

By: O. Toomer*, T. Vu*, R. Wysocky n, V. Moraes n, R. Malheiros n & K. Anderson n 

author keywords: alternative layer feed ingredient; peanut skins; high-oleic peanuts; shell eggs; layers; poultry feeding trial
TL;DR: This study suggests that PN skins may be a suitable alternative layer feed ingredient, and eggs produced from the HOPN treatment had reduced saturated fatty acid content in comparison to the other treatment groups, while similar between PN Skin and control eggs at week 8 of the experiment.
