AB  - Our two experiments were intended to investigate the effects of dietary Whole Rice Hull (WRH) as insoluble fiber on the flock uniformity of pullets and the performance, egg quality and intestinal mucosa structure of laying hens. In experiment 1, a total of 1,500 chicks (4 weeks old) with the same uniform weight were randomly separated into three treatments of 500 birds each and fed diets containing 0 (control), 3 and 6% WRH. With increasing dietary WRH levels, body weight and feed intake were higher (p
