The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic and phenotypic correlations of egg quality traits in Khazak chicken. Albumen height (AH), albumen weight (AW), eggshell color (ESC), yolk color (YC), eggshell index, long length of egg (ELL), short length of egg (ESL), eggshell weight (ESW), egg weight (EW), Haugh units, and yolk weight (YW) were measured in 201 eggs collected 6 d sequentiall...

Rice bran (RB) is a major by-product, produced from the rice milling process. This study was conducted to evaluate the performance, egg quality, and blood biochemical parameters of 288 Hy-line laying hens fed diets with rice bran and commercial microbial phytase Natuphos®5000. The experiment was a 4×2 factorial one with four RB levels (0, 5, 10, and 15%) by two phytase levels (0 and 5000 FTU/kg...

This study aims to determine the effect of using Hermetia illucens maggot in feed on internal and external quality broiler eggs.The used 80 laying hens aged 6 months which were divided into 4 treatments, 5 replications each replication consisted tails. The variables observed eggs (egg weight, egg shape index, shell thickness, weight) white yolk Haugh units, color). data obtained analyzed with a...

1. The effect of biotin supplementation of low-biotin practical diets during rearing and laying stages on performance was studied in White Leghorn-type laying hens. 2. Biotin supplementation during rearing did not have any apparent effect on the condition of the bird at point-of-lay or on subsequent laying performance. 3. Biotin supplementation during lay did not have any beneficial effect upon...

During a fruit-fly egg cell’s early development, its internal fluid begins to swirl in vortex—a transition caused by the coordinated behavior of elastic filaments cell.

The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different dietary oil sources supplementation on laying hens’ performance and fatty acids profile of egg yolks. Seventy-two 23-week-old laying hens (Tetra-SL) divided into six experimental diets (four replicates and three birds per replication) in a completely randomized design for nine weeks. Experimental diets were included: 1) control (no oi...

The interaction of bovine serum albumin ( BSA) and egg albumin with water solublephthalocyanine, cobalt (ΙΙ) 4, 4′ , 4′′, 4′′′- tetrasulfophthalocyanine ( CoTSPc) , has been studiedby the UV- Vis method at pH 7.0 and five different temperatures 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40°C. Theformation constants have been elucidated by using spectrophotometric titration and computerSQUAD program data refinement. Th...
