A 12-wk laying trial, using 240 hens and 24 cocks of 52-wk old Fayoumi chicken strain, was conducted to determine whether hatchability can be improved by dietary biotin supplementation during the late stages of egg production and to study its effect on progeny performance. Birds were divided into 4 equal groups of 6 replicates each. A corn-soybean meal basal layer diet was formulated to contain...

Background: The eggs of hens are an essential source protein, a food that meets human needs and provides the body with amino acids, metallic elements vitamins promote its health. research aims to study influence storage period strain interaction between them on components internal external quality traits commercially produced brown white-shell eggs. Methods: A total 180 were randomly collected ...

The aim of this study is to reveal the relationship between changes in physical and chemical characterization eggs during storage provide a new way assess egg freshness at molecular level. In study, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra albumin from 60 fresh (ISA Brown layer) stored for 1, 10, 20, 30, 40 days 4°C 10°C were measured ( ...

The purpose of the study was to investigate potential feeding laying hens with ground flax, a combination flax cake and oil in production eggs enriched omega-3 fatty acids. experiment set up using 192 divided into 4 groups: control group; group fed flaxseed (10%) + (2%); 5% 10% flax. Each had 8 cages housing 6 hens, that is, total 48 per group. Haugh unit values, fat content, Thiobarbituric aci...

This study was conducted to determine the effects of different levels (0, 200, 400, 600 mg/kg) ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) root powder (ARP) on performance, egg quality and lipid peroxidation in laying hens (Lohmann LSL, 36 weeks old) diets. For this purpose, a total 4 groups were formed, one which control (ARP-0) other three experimental (ARP-1, ARP-2, ARP-3). A 96 distributed 4-storey ca...

An experiment was conducted to test the effect of dietary levels sun-dried sheep manure (SSM) on egg quality parameters and productive performance Shika-Brown layers. Six isonitrogenous almost isocaloric diets were formulated contain SSM at 0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 5.0 % level inclusion. Diet I, which had no manure, served as control. White maize used for formulation diets. Each six replicated f...
