Abstract

The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of treated MOLM in exotic layer diets on egg characteristics and consumer acceptability. Thirty-six (36), sixteen (16) week old ISA Brown layers were selected from a flock of sixty (45) birds and allocated to four dietary treatments with three replicates of three birds each, confined in a deep litter system in a completely randomised design; The treatments consisted of T1 0% MOLM, T2 10% MOLM, T3 15% MOLM and T4 20% MOLM. Data was collected on external parameters (eggshell thickness, shell weight, egg width and length, shape index) and internal qualities (yolk weight, yolk width and length, yolk ratio, yolk colour and egg weight). Data of the parameters were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) using the general linear model (GLM) procedure of the statistical analysis system (SAS, 2009). Significant means were separated using Tukey's test at (p < 0.05). The results showed significant differences (p < 0.05) in all the parameters evaluated on all the birds fed on different dietary treatments; treatment 4 (20% MOLM) recorded the highest yolk colour (12) in the Roche colour fan, in comparison 10%, 15% MOLM recorded (8, and 10) respectively on the scale of the Roche colour fa n, birds fed on 0% MOLM recorded low yolk colour (1) on the Roche colour fan; The results show that 10% MOLM have a better influence in shell weight, yolk weight, and yolk ratio, while the control group record better qualities in yolk width, yolk length, It could be concluded that 10% MOLM in layers diet could improve egg qualities of Isa-Brown birds.
