Mycoplasma 352 Molecular characterization of mycoplasma gallisepticum isolated from chicken and turkey. 353 Pathogenicity of Mycoplasma gallisepticum strains using ELD50 in embryonated chicken eggs. 354 Evaluation of three DNA extraction methods for the detection of Mycoplasma spp. with an MG/MS multiplex real-time PCR method. 356 Use of MG/MS serology and PCR to determine flock status. 357 Exp...

Previous techniques that have been used to monitor broiler embryonic temperature and metabolism during incubation either have been invasive to the embryo or have not directly determined internal egg temperature. Therefore, the current investigation was conducted to determine the earliest day of incubation on which temperature transponder implantation in the egg air cell could be performed with ...

Calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and zinc are stored in hens’ egg yolk and, except for copper, the majority of these minerals are located in egg yolk granules (Table 1). Presumably, up to 90% calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc are firmly bound in the phosvitin-lipovitellin complex of granules (GREENGARD et al., 1964; TABORSKY, 1980; TUPPER et al., 1954). As was discussed by Richards, copper ions...

Infectious agents cause disease in virtually any susceptible hosts. In the poultry production and medicine, pathogens were eliminated from a line of a breeder by injection of antibiotics into hatching eggs. There is little information available describing the safety of the folate antimetabolite/sulfonamide class of antibiotics on the game birds embryonated eggs. The objective of this study was ...

Using 351 one-day weighted diet records, we selected foods providing vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber according to contribution analysis (CA) and multiple regression analysis (MRA). Vitamin C was supplied by various vegetables and fruits, and carotene was specifically derived from green-yellow vegetables based on MRA as well as CA. Vitamin A was provided by green-yellow vegetables, fruits, ...
