A total of 252 Hy\u2010Line brown laying hens, aged 12\u2009weeks, were randomly allotted to three dietary treatments with seven replicates of 12 hens per treatment. The experimental diets included corn particle sizes of 600\u2009\u03bcm (TRT1), 900\u2009\u03bcm (TRT2), and 1200\u2009\u03bcm (TRT3) and were provided over an 18\u2010week trial. Results indicated that dietary corn particle size did not significantly affect egg production, feed conversion ratio (FCR), egg weight, egg size, or fecal score throughout the experimental period (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&gt;\u20090.05). No significant effects were observed during weeks 12\u201318 and 18\u201324 for production performance or egg quality traits. During the late phase (24\u201330\u2009weeks), average daily feed intake (ADFI) exhibited a quadratic tendency (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.10), with reduced intake at the intermediate particle size (900\u2009\u03bcm). Most egg quality parameters, including eggshell thickness, strength, Haugh unit, and albumen height, were not significantly influenced by dietary treatments (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&gt;\u20090.05). However, yolk color showed a significant quadratic effect (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05), with lower values in hens fed 900\u2009\u03bcm compared to 600 and 1200\u2009\u03bcm diets, while eggshell color showed a tendency for a linear response (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.10). These findings suggest that increasing corn particle size from 600 to 1200\u2009\u03bcm maintains production performance and egg quality with minor phase\u2010specific effects, indicating that the inclusion of 1200\u2009\u03bcm corn may be a practical strategy for laying hens.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/fsn3.72247","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,19]],"date-time":"2026-08-19T04:56:52Z","timestamp":1787115412000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Evaluating the Role of Dietary Corn Particle Size on Production Traits and Egg Characteristics in Early\u2010Phase Laying Hens"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-8429-2572","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kanon","family":"Das","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Biotechnology Dankook University  Cheonan Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Smart Animal Bio Institute Dankook University  Cheonan Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joohyun","family":"Ha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Biotechnology Dankook University  Cheonan Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Smart Animal Bio Institute Dankook University  Cheonan Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6652-2504","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"In Ho","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Biotechnology Dankook University  Cheonan Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Smart Animal Bio Institute Dankook University  Cheonan Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.anifeedsci.2012.10.011"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0043933907001560"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00071668.2016.1161727"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3382\/japr.2012-00553"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3382\/ps\/pez082"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5194\/aab\u201066\u2010379\u20102023"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/0007166022000004480"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3382\/ps\/pex441"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3382\/ps.2009\u201000434"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jsfa.2740350904"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1399\/eps.2016.159"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jpn.14110"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.psj.2023.102565"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_15_1","volume-title":"Commercial Poultry Nutrition, University Books","author":"Lesson S.","year":"2005"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.psj.2022.102406"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3382\/ps\/pez206"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_18_1","volume-title":"Korean Feeding Standard for Poultry","author":"National Institute of Animal","year":"2017"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3382\/ps.0740771"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_20_1","volume-title":"Nutrient Requirements of Poultry: Ninth Revised Edition, 1994","author":"NRC","year":"1994"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_21_1","unstructured":"Ojelade A.
