The relationship of albumen height (AH) to the compositions of yolks and embryos in hatching eggs from a young (30 wk of age) broiler breeder flock was evaluated during incubation. On Day 2 of incubation, egg weight, yolk weight, and yolk moisture, lipid, and fatty acid contents were determined in eggs from broiler breeders previously identified as laying eggs of either low or high AH. In addit...

an 8-week feeding experiment was carried out on beluga (huso huso) juvenile to evaluate the effects of different levels of fish oil containing n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (n-3 hufas) on fish growth and fatty acid composition. the requirements of beluga juvenile for n-3 hufas were studied by feeding fish diets containing six different levels of n-3 hufas ranging from 1.56 to 17.25% (% of ...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of soil moisture content on reflectance spectra of sandy soils with different phosphorus (P) concentrations using UV-VIS-NIR reflectance spectroscopy. Sandy soils with average particle size of 250 μm were used. Investigations were conducted at 0, 12.5, 62.5, 175, 375, 750, and 1000 mg/kg phosphorus application rates. Three soil moisture conten...

This work describes moisture sorption behavior and other physicochemical properties of gelatin/poly (Ani) films. Theglyoxal (Glox) cross linked gelatin (Gel) films have been loaded with aniline, followed by their in-situ oxidative polymerization to yield Gel/poly (Ani) composite films. The moisture uptake behavior of the plain Gel and Gel/poly (Ani) films has been studied under various Relative...

Concerns about the microbiological safety of fresh produce have attracted attention in the past three decades due to multiple foodborne outbreaks. Animal manure contaminated with enteric pathogens has been identified as an important preharvest pathogen source. This study investigated the survival of Salmonella enterica in dust particles of dehydrated turkey manure and how association with manur...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of soil moisture content on the absorbance spectra of sandy soils with different phosphorus (P) concentrations using ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS), and near-infrared (NIR) absorbance spectroscopy. Sieve sizes were 125, 250, and 600 m for fine, medium, and coarse, respectively. The medium size of the samples was used for the study. Investigat...
