Short summary
This study evaluated the effects of pomegranate peel supplementation (0, 50, 100, and 150 mg kg-1) in high-energy diets for laying hens. The results indicated that 150 mg kg-1 supplementation improved egg production, feed conversion ratio, shell strength, and yolk color while reducing triglyceride and very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol levels. Additionally, the liver fat ratio was decreased with 100 and 150 mg kg-1 supplementation. Further research is needed for more detailed findings.
