Basic rations used is non-commercial rations prepared with crude protein content of 22.5 % and 2600 kcal.kg metabolizable energy ( E ). Ration treatment by adding a basic ration plus vitamin E 30 IU / kg ( E1 ), the basic ration plus vitamin E 40 IU / kg ( E2 ) and a base diet plus vitamin E 50 IU / kg ( E3 ). Rations and drinking water given adlibitum. Data taken include feed intake, egg production, egg weight, egg vitamin E and fertility.
