Abstract: Two hundred and eighty 50-weeks Green-eggshell chickens were randomly allotted to 4 treatments, each group was assigned 5 replications and 14 layers per replication. The control group was provided with corn-soybean meal basal diet, the trial groups were respectively fed the basal diet supplemented with 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5% Leonurus heterophyllus Sweet, in order to observe the influence to biochemical parameters, hormone and ovary in Green-eggshell chickens. The results were showed as follows: compared with the control group, 1.0% and 1.5% Leonurus heterophyllus Sweet added to Green-eggshell chickens could significantly decrease TC,TG and LDL,apparently increase HDL,E2,FSH and ovarian relative weight. Leonurus heterophyllus Sweet could affect fat metabolism, reduce the content of blood lipid. For saving cost,the most appropriate volume was 1.0%.
