Popis: The study investigated the effect of enzyme supplementation of commercial feed diluted with copra meal in laying hens. Two hundred 126 d old Shaver Star-Cross pullets were fed commercial feed alone or diluted with 2 levels (20 and 30%) of copra meal (CM) with or without enzyme in 4 replicates of 10 birds each. Feed intake, hen-day production and egg quality measurements formed the response criteria. Results showed no significant differences (P 0.05). Eggs produced on the control had higher shape index compared to the 30% CM without enzyme (P
