Abstract

The poultry industry constantly seeks innovative, sustainable methods to enhance the health and productivity of layer chickens. This review explores the use of eggshell waste as a feed additive, highlighting its potential as a significant calcium source. Eggshells, primarily composed of calcium carbonate, provide a bioavailable form of calcium essential for eggshell formation and overall chicken health. The review delves into the composition, nutritional value, and processing methods of eggshell waste, emphasizing the importance of particle size in optimizing calcium absorption and efficacy. Benefits such as improved egg quality, shell strength, and cost-effectiveness are discussed alongside environmental advantages, including waste reduction and promotion of circular economy practices. Challenges, including contamination risks and variability in eggshell quality, are addressed with proposed solutions. The review also presents case studies and experimental evidence supporting the use of eggshell waste in layer chicken diets. Finally, future research directions and innovations in processing technologies are suggested to enhance the viability of eggshell waste as a sustainable feed additive in the poultry industry.
