Summary
The objectives of the present investigation are to determine (1) whether restricting feed intake will reduce the rate of lay while lengthening the laying period and improving egg shell quality, (2) whether dietary protein level is involved and (3) whether carbonic anhydrase activity of the shell gland or calcium binding protein of the duodenal lining or the shell gland are related to shell quality.
