Abstract
Humic substances are chemical compounds which are derived from stabilised organic matter in the soil or humus and are formed during decay of plant and animal material in soil (Stevenson, 1994). In recent years, it has been observed that humates inclution in the feed of poultry promote growth (Bailkey et al., 1996; Parks et al., 1996; Eren et al., 2000; Kocabagh et al., 2002). The present research was carried out to determine the effects of farmagulator humate on egg production and quality.
