The study investigated the impact of probiotics and vitamins (PV) on the reproductive performance and egg quality of Ac chickens' diet. The experiment was conducted using a completely random design with 250 hens, aged 40-50 weeks, housed in cages. There were 5 treatments, each with 5 repetitions, and 10 hens per repetition. The treatments corresponding to the diets were: Control (BD), C250 (BD + 250 mg PV/kg of feed), C500 (BD + 500 mg PV/kg of feed), C750 (BD + 750 mg PV/kg of feed), and C1000 (BD + 1000 mg PV/kg of feed). The results showed that the highest laying rate (39.2%), yolk index (0.45), albumen index (0.08) and yolk colour (7.6) were in C1000. Although the C750 indicated the lowest FCR (3.78), it had the greatest egg weight (36.4 g/egg) and Haugh unit (82.8). In conclusion, probiotics and vitamins at 1,000 mg/kg diet improved Ac chicken laying rate, FCR, and egg weight. © 2026, Can Tho University. All rights reserved.
