We used a split-plot design of five diets: control (corn-soy) with 3.8% Ca, 10% flaxseed with 3.8% Ca, 10% flaxseed with 4.5% Ca, 10% flaxseed with 3.8% Ca and 22,000 IU vitamin D3/kg, and 10% flaxseed with 4.5% Ca and 22,000 IU vitamin D3/kg, and two strains of birds, DeKalb Delta (DD) and Hy-Line W-36 (HL), to evaluate long-term effects of flaxseed supplementation on egg production parameters...

The aim of this research was to study S-ovalbumin as a reference index for the freshness of commercial shell eggs in terms of equivalent egg age. The S-ovalbumin content, yolk index, albumen pH, and Haugh units were determined at the storage temperature of 25 and 37°C, respectively, using 85 fresh-laid eggs. A correlation analysis showed a high correlation coefficient of S-ovalbumin content to ...

Supplementation of pasta with different protein sources (legumes, milk proteins, egg protein) was done. Cooking and sensory quality of pasta was assessed. Statistically, a nonsignificant variation (P  0.05) was observed in the minimum cooking time of resultant pasta but significant correlations (r=0.95) was obtained between the volume expansion and the percent water absorption of supplemented ...

A five level four factors central composite rotatable design under response surface methodology was used to optimize process conditions of the foam mat drying process i.e. egg albumen (0%-12%), methyl cellulose (0.1%-0.5%), drying bed thickness (3-7 mm) and drying temperature (55-75°C) to develop grape bar with final moisture content of 14%±1% (dry-base). Contour and response graphs were genera...

1 The use of trade names in this publication does not imply endorsement of the products mentioned, nor criticism of similar products not mentioned. ABSTRACT The temperature and relative humidity of storage, as well as the gaseous environment, interact with the fertile egg over time during storage in such a way as to affect the success of incubation either negatively or positively. This interact...

The objective of this study was to evaluate whether probiotic supplementation laying hens can improve the quality eggs during storage. trial developed in a commercial farm, which light-weight (36 weeks old) housed cages were randomly selected for one two different treatments: control group fed non-supplemented diets, or birds with diets supplemented 50 g/ton probiotics. lasted 84 days, comprisi...

--This paper presents the lipid, nonlipid dry matter, and water contents of the eggs of the Starling, Coturnix Quail, Mourning Dove, Laughing Gull, and Mallard and compares the data with published accounts of the eggs of other species. The lipid level of the yolk and the percentage of yolk in the egg increase in direct relation to the precocity of the young at hatching. The high lil•id content ...
