Egg quality traits of White Leghorn strain cross layers (ILM-90) reared in three different floor densities viz., 420, 560 and700 cm2 per bird under cage system of rearing were evaluated. The results indicated that none of the egg quality traits studied in the experiment was influenced by the different floor space studied. Therefore a floor space of 420 cm2/ bird is recommended for cage system of rearing ILM-90 strain cross layers.
