Abstract
Plasma iron and copper has been determined by atomic absorption in 50 laying hens of different percentage of eggs production.
These values are increased during the laying period but their levels are independent from the egg laying frequency.
The concentration in these metals in the eggs (yolk and white) has been also determined and a significant correlation between them has been shown. A clear decrease of iron in yolk has been observed in the group of hens with the highest laying activity.
