One experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of sodium levels on performance of laying hens in second phase of egg production. Two hundred and sixteen laying hens (Hy-line W-36), after forced molt at 60 weeks of age, were used. The experimental design was a factorial with three sodium levels (.15, .25, and .35%) during 30 days after fasting period and the same levels on the production period. Four periods of 28 days each were evaluated concerning the following parameters: […]
