This study was conducted to investigate the effects of expanding feed processing technologies on the egg characteristics and nutrient digestibility in laying hens. A total of two hundred seventy laying hens were randomly allocated into three treatments with fifieen replications for six weeks. Dietary treatments include 1) MS(mash), 2)EC(expanded crumble)and 3)EP(expanded pellet). In the egg production, the EC and EP tretatments were significantly higher than MS treatment (p0.05). However, no significant difference was founded in egg weight(p0.05).
