Summary:The present disclosure relates to a laying hen feed for improving egg quality and a method thereof. The laying hen feed comprises a basal diet and β-carotene, and the β-carotene is added to the basal diet at a dosage of 0.4~5 g/kg. The method uses the laying hen feed to feed laying hens for at least 10 days, preferably 10~30 days. The present disclosure also relates to use of β-carotene in improving egg quality. The present disclosure mainly studies the enhancement effect of β-carotene on egg yolk color and optimizes the specific application dose of β-carotene.
