This paper presents the effects of dietary addition of probiotic Biomin(R) IMBO on production and table egg quality. 360 Hy Line Brown hens were used in experiment, which was conducted from 16 to 28 week of hen's age. Every week average body weight, egg production, percentage of second grade egg, average egg weight, feed consumption and feed conversion ratio were determined. Egg quality was evaluated at 21, 24, 26 and 28 week of hens age, and included the following parameters: egg weight, shell cleanness, shell weight, shell thickness, shell breaking force, albumen height and yolk color. The addition of dietary probiotic resulted in increased egg production and reduced percentage of second grade eggs. Feed conversion ratio for the entire period was significantly better in hens receiving probiotic, while feed intake and analyzed parameters of egg quality were not affected by added probiotic.
