EFFECT OF STARTING BODY FAT CONTENT OF LEGHORN-TYPE LAYING HENS ON THE CHANGES IN THEIR BODY FAT CONTENT, EGG PRODUCTION AND EGG COMPOSITION DURING THE FIRST EGG LAYING PERIOD

The experiment was carried out with 60 TETRA BLANCA laying hens chosen from 250 TETRA BLANCA pullets based on their body fat content, predicted at 16 weeks of age by means of computer tomography (CT).
