Two hundred and forty Isa Brown hens were assigned to five dietary treatments: control, 0.5% AC, 1.0% AC, 0.5% AC\u2009+\u2009APS, and 1.0% AC\u2009+\u2009APS during a 12\u2010week feeding trial. High\u2010performance liquid chromatography identified glucose, fructose, lactic, pyruvic, and acetic acids as major APS metabolites, while Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed APS\u2010mediated surface modification of AC through the emergence and intensification of oxygenated functional groups. Dietary supplementation significantly improved hen\u2010day egg production, egg mass, feed conversion ratio, eggshell thickness, ovarian development, follicular recruitment, and progesterone concentration (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05). AC\u2009+\u2009APS\u2010fed hens exhibited greater ovarian and follicular weights and more large yellow follicles than AC\u2010only groups, indicating enhanced folliculogenesis. While increasing AC inclusion from 0.5% to 1.0% improved several productive indices, comparable responses between 0.5% and 1.0% AC\u2009+\u2009APS suggested enhanced biological efficiency following APS functionalization. Hematological and biochemical responses further supported enhanced metabolic adaptation and reproductive allocation. Overall, APS enrichment transformed AC into a multifunctional bioactive feed additive for sustainable laying hen production and biomass valorization.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/asj.70250","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,14]],"date-time":"2026-10-14T13:15:35Z","timestamp":1791983735000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Enriching Activated Charcoal With Aged Palm Sap Improves Laying Hen Performance, Egg Quality, and Reproductive Function"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"97","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2705-7640","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Albert Uzochukwu Chinenye","family":"Ohanaka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Science and Technology Federal University of Technology  Owerri Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1936-2306","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Judith Nkechinyere","family":"Ohanaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry Nile University of Nigeria  Abuja Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4895-7867","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ifeanyi Princewill","family":"Ogbuewu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Science and Technology Federal University of Technology  Owerri Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8988-9496","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ifeanyi Charles","family":"Okoli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Science and Technology Federal University of Technology  Owerri Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rvsc.2021.04.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.13057\/biodiv\/d260234"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.psj.2022.102189"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-020-58587-2","article-title":"Microbial Diversity and Metabolite Profiles of Palm Wine Produced From Three Different Palm Tree Species in C\u00f4te D'ivoire","volume":"10","author":"Djeni T.
