Egg & Gut Boost

Enoki mushroom (Flammulina velutipes) stem waste added to laying-hen feed increased egg production and shell quality while strengthening the intestinal barrier and raising beneficial cecal bacteria. Blood immune markers and antioxidant activity rose, showing a stronger, less inflamed gut–immune system. The results show mushroom trimmings can work as a functional feed additive, improving both hen health and egg output.
