Abstract


This study aimed to investigate the potential of replacing commercial feed with maggots at various ages and levels to assess its impact on the productive performance and egg quality of Hy-Line Brown laying hens. A total of 108 hens, aged 32 weeks, were assigned to a Completely Randomized Design with two factors: maggot levels (0%, 3%, 5%, and 7%) and maggot ages. The substitution of commercial feed with maggots at different ages and levels did not significantly affect feed intake, feed conversion ratio (FCR), egg production, and egg mass production (P>0.05), except for egg weight, which was influenced by the interaction of both factors (P<0.01). Egg yolk color, albumen, and yolk weights were unaffected by maggot age, while maggot level only impacted egg weight. The interaction between factors influenced egg yolk color and albumen weight. The most favorable treatment for the age factor was M1 and M2, while the optimal maggot level occurred at 7% (M3). The interaction of W2M3 generally produced the best performance in terms of egg weight and egg quality,
