Experiment was conducted to determine dietary calcium sources on egg production and egg shell quality of laying hens. 144-Dekalb Warren were fed broken rice-soy bean meal-fish meal diets containing calcium as oyster shell, limestone+0.75 percent vegetable oil, limestone+3.0 percent vegetable oil and gypsum. Egg production performance was significantly decreased (P=0.05) when gypsum supplied. Egg weight was not adversely affected with dietary calcium sources.
