ABSTRACT: The present study was conducted to investigate the influence of wood charcoal and vinegar mixture dietary supplementation on productive and reproductive performance and intestinal bacterial count for aged layers. A total number of 120 hens + 24 cocks of Gimmizah chickens (50 weeks) were individually weighed and randomly divided into four treatment groups. Each treatment group was represented by three replicates (10 hens + 2 cocks) and housed in 12 floor pens open system until the end of the experiment (64 weeks). The birds of the first group were served as control and the rest groups were supplemented with wood charcoal and vinegar mixture (CV) to be 0∙5, 1∙ 0 and 1∙5 % for CV1, CV2 and CV3 groups respectively. Obtained results revealed that all supplemented groups (CV1, CV2 and CV3) represented increase of egg weight and egg mass besides improvement for egg production % compared to those for control. Also, highest value of egg shell thickness (mm) was detected for CV3 group compared to the rest groups. Eggs produced from hens of CV2 and CV3 groups represented significant increase of hatchability for fertile egg percentage compared to those for CV1 and control group. Birds of the CV3 group recorded the highest values of the plasma Ca, P and Glucose compared to those for other groups. In conclusion, supplementing the diet of layer at late phase of production with 1∙5 % wood charcoal and vinegar mixture could be a promising tool for realizing the best improvement of egg production, egg shell thickness, hatchability% and jejunum bacterial count.
