Abstract

In this study the effects of 0, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 mg/kg boron (B) supplementation to diets of laying hens on tibia B, Ca and P (inorganic) concentrations, tibia weight and ash levels (in % and g DM), leucocyte counts (PBL) and positivity of ANAE percentages in peripheral blood were investigated.
