The objective of this study was to develop a statistical model for predicting egg yolk contamination level in egg white using a spectroscopic method. Eggs that were stored for 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.5, and 6.5 wk at 4 C were manually processed to cleanly separate the yolk from the white. Egg white samples containing 0e0.5% (w/w) of yolk were prepared by adding yolk to the white and further dilutin...

This experiment was conducted to measure the effects of olive leaf powder on performance, egg yield, egg quality and yolk cholesterol level of laying hens. A total of 120 Lohmann Brown laying hens of 22 weeks old were used in this experiment. The birds were fed on standard layer diets containing 0, 1%, 2%, or 3% olive leaf powder for 8 weeks. Egg weight and yield were recorded daily; feed intak...

This study was designed to evaluate efficacy of polyherbal hypocholesterolemic supplement AV/HLP/16 (test compound) on serum and egg yolk cholesterol levels and egg quality parameters in layers. One hundred and twenty healthy White Leghorn (BV 300 strain) of 54 weeks age were randomly divided into four treatments (T 0 , T 1 , T 2 , T 3 ); subdivided into three replicates with ten birds in each ...

egg yolk is the most commonly used cryoprotective agent for sperm cryopreservation of several species.the objective of this experiment was to compare the effectiveness of egg yolk from four avian species(domestic chicken, duck, turkey and pigeon) on sperm quality following cryopreservation of the ram semen.ejaculates were collected, using an electroejaculator, from six fertile rams. samples wer...

Č������ H., V������� M., P���������� V., K�������� F. (2004): Determination of egg yolk content in egg liqueurs. Czech J. Food Sci., 22: 9–15. The recent Czech Food law (Decree No. 264/2003, 93/2000 and 57/2003 of the law No. 110/1997 as amended) requires the minimal concentration of egg or egg yolk content in relevant food products (mayonnaises, egg pastas, egg liqueurs), however, the methods ...

Aim: The aim was to study the seroconversion and development of egg yolk immunoglobulins in adult laying White Leghorn hens immunized against an isolate of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) bearing K91 and K88ac antigens, obtained from diarrheic piglet. Materials and Methods: Adult laying White Leghorn hens were immunized with inactivated enterotoxic E. coli strain isolated originally fro...

the present research was conducted to analyze the genetic structure of egg quality traits in japanese quail. external and internal egg quality traits were assessed on 1706 eggs of laying japanese quail. eggs were collected for 4 days at the quaits 10 weeks of age. the investigated traits were analyzed through univariate as well as multivariate animal models employing restricted maximum likeliho...

BACKGROUND Supplying egg-laying hens with different forage materials may influence egg production and quality. The aim of this study was to examine the short-term effects of standard feed plus 70 g day(-1) per hen of three coloured carrot varieties (orange, yellow and purple) as forage material in comparison with a standard feed control on egg production, egg yolk colour and deposition of carot...

OBJECTIVES Atherosclerosis is the main leading cause of cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of this study was to assess the potential preventive effect of egg yolk HDL on the atherosclerosis plaque formation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty rabbits were divided into five groups: A; normal diet, B; hyper-cholesterolemic diet, C; hypercholesterolemic + 400 mg/kg egg yolk HDL D; hypercholesterolem...
