Abstract: The experiment was designed to investigate the effect of Chinese herb medicinal prescriptions on serum ion concentration of laying hens under chronic high temperature.In the experiment,250 healthy Hyline Brown laying hens,aged 60-weeks,were allocated to 5 groups at random and each group included 50 laying hens respectively. The groups 1 to 4 were with the basic diets containing 1% concentrations of traditional Chinese herbal compound 1,traditional Chinese herbal compound 2,traditional Chinese herbal compound 3,0.04% vitamin C respectively,the group 5 was control group.
