A 10-week experiment was conducted to evaluate the combined effect of enzyme complex + yeast (Maxigrain®, MXG®) supplementation sun-dried yam peel meal (YPM) based diet laying Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) on performance and egg quality. total 240, seven-weeks old were distributed in a completely randomize design with four dietary treatments five replicates 12 each. Diet 1 served...

ii Egg yolk contamination of egg whites continues to be a serious problem in the egg industry. The ability of egg whites to form stable and voluminous foams is greatly inhibited by accidental yolk contamination, even at extremely small levels. Experiments were conducted to determine if lipase can regenerate the functional properties of yolkcontaminated egg whites. Treatments included control, 0...

AIM To evaluate two extenders and two cryoprotectant agents (CPA) for alpaca semen cryopreservation. METHODS Semen samples were obtained from four adult alpacas (Lama pacos) and frozen using extender I (TRIS, citrate, egg yolk and glucose) or extender II (skim milk, egg yolk and fructose), each containing either glycerol (G) or ethylene glycol (EG) as CPA. Consequently, four groups were forme...

In a series of 1095 Egyptian patients with carcinoma of the bladder treated by radical cystectomy, 902 cases (82.4%) contained schistosome eggs in the specimens, and 193 (17.6%) were egg-negative. The different tumor parameters were compared in these subgroups to explore any differences that could be related to schistosomal infestation. In egg-positive cases, the tumor developed at a younger ag...

Egg alternatives may replace egg as a functional ingredient in French vanilla ice cream due to their functional and dietary benefits. These egg alternative ingredients include modified corn starch (MCS), whey protein concentrate (WPC) and soy protein isolate (SPI). The objective of this study was to compare the physical and sensory properties of several commercially available egg alternatives i...

BACKGROUND Studies have reported that children with atopic dermatitis (AD) have a high risk of adverse reactions at first egg ingestion. METHODS We enrolled 79 children with AD retrospectively and 45 children without AD (control group) prospectively, who had never eaten egg. All children underwent skin prick tests (SPT) with commercial extracts and prick by prick with natural food (raw and bo...

Between 1997 and 1998 the breeding density, nest sites, clutch size and egg dimensions of the magpie (Pica pica) was investigated in a 7 km2 area in the Krapina river valley. We recorded a high breeding density of 4.79 pairs/km2 (during both years). The nests were situated at a height of 1–16 m above ground (mean = 6.74 m). Magpie nests were found in at least 9 species of bushes and trees. We r...
