Effects of mulberry leaf (Folium Mori) powder in hen diets on amino acid composition and texture profiles of egg protein

To investigate the effect of mulberry leaf (Folium Mori) in feeding for eggs' quality, the hens received mulberry leaf supplement in various levels, the amino acid composition and texture profiles of egg protein were evaluated.The additive level of mulberry leaf showed no significant effect in the amino acid composition of egg protein but to the texture profiles significantly.The optimal texture of egg protein was observed when hens fed diet with 7% in Folium Mori, the hardness value of the egg decreased by 12.12% compared with that without supplementation.
