in this experiment, a total of 128 hy-line w36 hens at 63 weeks of age were used. the hens were put at random into 4 treatment groups (4 replicates and 32 hens per treatment) and were fed four different diets: three diets with different levels of spirulina (1.5, 2.0 and 2.5%) and one control group based on wheat and soybean meal. all birds were housed in commercial cages, had ad libitum access ...

Results In our cohort, 48% of patients were sensitized to egg white and yolk, while 52% were reacting to egg white exclusively. In allergen microarray, Gal d 1 and 2 were identified as major allergens for all patients, whereas Gal d 3-5 displayed high sensitization prevalence only in patients reacting to both egg components. Mean egg white-specific IgE was significantly higher in patients displ...

Of 92 drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains isolated from sputum specimens, 86 showed growth in two types of 7H12 broth, one with egg yolk and the other without egg yolk. In addition, two strains grew only in plain 7H12 broth without yolk, and four others were recovered only in the medium supplemented with egg yolk. The radiometrically detected growth was higher in the presence of e...

The present study was conducted to investigate the variation in the lipid profile between Egyptian breed Fayoumi and commercial strain ISA-Brown. Forty 32-wk-old ISA-Brown and thirty-five 36-wk-old Fayoumi were housed individually in separated layer cages in opensystem housing. Four weeks later, Body weight was recorded and egg weight, number, and composition were measured. In addition, lipid p...

Structurally specific very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) particles are presumed to redirect VLDL uptake during yolk deposition. Egg production is an energy intensive process, but energy excess negatively affects egg production. This study sought to determine whether overfeeding changed hen lipoprotein profiles, and if so, whether changes were related to egg production. Overfeeding caused 33% o...

The study was conducted to determine the effect of varying protein levels and preservation method on internal egg qualities of Japanese quails. A total of 180 birds were randomly allotted into three dietary treatments in a completely randomized design (CRD) replicated six times. A factorial arrangement of 3x4x4 which involves 3 protein levels, 4 storage method and 4 time intervals was designed ...
