The objective of this research was to study the effects of Kae Dang [Sesbania grandiflora (L.) Desv.], Kae Sad [Spathodea campanulate (P.) Beauv.] and Supanniga [Cochlospermum regium (L.) Alston.] flowers in Layer diets on egg production, egg quality and blood parameters. A completely randomized design (CRD) was used in the study. Each of 4 diet groups; the control diet (group 1), a diet supplemented with 2% of Kae Dang (group 2), Kae Sad (group 3), and Supanniga (group 4) were randomly assigned to 160 (Lohmann Brown) 30-week-old laying hens, into 4 groups, each group consisted of 20 replicates (2 hens each), and then they were raised in a closed house for 60 days. The results showed that the laying hens fed in group 1 (control), group 2 (Kae Dang) and group 4 (Supanniga) gave eggs with no difference in egg weight, but they were significantly heavier (p<0.05) than eggs of hens fed in group 3 (Kae Sad). The laying hens fed in group 2 (Kae Dang) showed the change in body weight, egg width, yolk width, and albumen weight significantly higher than laying hens fed in all groups (p<0.05). Layers fed in group 4 (Supanniga) yielded eggs with significantly higher eggshell thickness and eggshell weight than laying hens in all groups (p<0.05). The Haugh unit of eggs from hens fed in group 4 (Supanniga) was the highest (p<0.05), but showed no significant difference from the control group. However, laying hens fed with or without flowers of all three types were no significant difference in feed intake, egg yield, feed conversion ratio per egg production, egg length, yolk weight, yolk color, albumen height, and blood parameters. The results indicated that three types of flowers could be used as a supplementary source of feed for laying hens without negative effects on productivity, egg quality and hematology.
