High productivity and efficient food conversion as imperatives in modern animal production can be achieved by using certain additives to animal nutrition. On the other side, effect of certain additives may be aimed at increasing the quality of products. To this end, poultry food are added pigment substances (carotenoids and xanthophylls) in order to achieve desirable yellow colour of subcutaneous fat and egg yolk. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of dandelion with a share of 1% and 3% in diets for laying hens on performance (number of eggs, laying rate, food conversion) and indicators of the eggs quality (weight, shape index, shell strength, yolk colour, pH). The study was conducted on 45 laying hens on which were applied three different feeding treatments. A control group of laying hens (K) was fed with conventional feed for laying hens, which consisted of a synthetic pigment, while the two experimental groups were fed with feed wherein synthetic pigment was replaced by a dandelion addition of 1 and 3% (M1 and M3). After processing the collected data, we can conclude that the addition of dandelion in compound feed for laying hens did not affect the performance as well as the majority of quality indicators of eggs. A significant effect was found only for the yolk colour indicators CIE (L*, a*, b*) and YCF, wherein compared to the control group, showed statistically significant difference.
