Abstract
Interior egg quality, usually expressed in Haugh Units, is prolonged by feeding the laying poultry a diet containing zeolite A. If the feed contains a reduced chloride content, egg shell quality, egg shell thickness or egg specific gravity may be also improved, and/or the number of shell-less eggs may be reduced.
