Short summary
Replacing soybean meal with fermented feed led to a decrease in the abnormal egg rate during the late laying period of Hy-Line Gray laying hens as well as enhancing eggshell strength and thickness. Moreover, this replacement strategy reduced breast muscle drip loss, increased pH levels, and improved meat color. Moreover, it lowered fat and cholesterol content in muscle and facilitated amino acid deposition. Notably, replacing 10 % of soybean meal with fermented feed for 8 weeks demonstrated promising outcomes.
