de Juan, A. F., Ipharraguerre, I. R., Mabrouk, J. B., Ocasio-Vega, C., Aguirre, L., & Mateos, G. (2022). Influence of the inclusion of Aspergillus oryzae on productive performance and egg quality produced by laying hens.

Literature Type Abstract
Product AO-Biotics EQE
Location Spain
Year 2021
Summary During the entire trial period (15 to 43 weeks), AO postbiotic supplementation reduced (P < 0.05) the incidence of shell-less eggs throughout the trial period. In addition, from 15 to 21 wk of age, the feeding of AO increased egg production by 9% and improved FCR by 8%, but the differences were not significant. In conclusion, the inclusion of AO in the diet increases hen performance and eggshell quality.

Ocasio, 2025. The impact of dietary supplementation with AO-Biotics® EQE on the development of rearing pullets under commercial conditions from 9 to 15 weeks of age.

Literature Type Controlled Field Trial
Product AO-Biotics EQE
Location Thessaloniki, Greece
Year 2025
Summary This field trial evaluated the effect of AO-Biotics® EQE on performance and mortality in rearing pullets from 9 to 15 weeks of age. The data obtained was compared to the farm’s historical standard performance curve (Farm Standard Curve) and the Lohmann Brown Classic management guide. Feeding AO-Biotics® EQE to pullets during rearing (9–15 weeks) improved body weight, enhanced feed efficiency, and reduced mortality of the flock. These improvements indicate stronger development, more efficient nutrient utilization, and higher survivability, which together support greater productivity and persistency during the laying cycle, ultimately enhancing farm profitability.
