The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect rearing systems and genotypes on production performance egg quality. Isa Brown New Hampshire were used in study. These two housed floor organic systems. During experimental period, which lasted one year (52 weeks), following parameters recorded: production, daily mass, feed consumption, conversion efficiency, mortality. Fifteen eggs per group col...

Egg is an important source of animal protein with its nutritional substances. These substances and the quality characteristics egg are affected by physicochemical changes effect various factors during storage. Different studies have been carried out to preserve values eggs In these studies, Ultraviolet applications were mostly used for sanitation eggs, while made determine internal without brea...

Albumen was removed from broiler eggs before the start of incubation to induce prenatal protein under-nutrition in chicken embryos. With this method, the direct effect of protein deficiency was investigated, differing from mammalian models manipulating the maternal diet where indirect, hormonal effects can interfere. Based on the estimated albumen/egg weight ratio, 10 % of albumen was removed w...

The acoustic propagation properties of egg yolk and albumen are characterized in the frequency range 20-400 MHz by the bioultrasonic spectroscopy system using an ultrasonic transmission comparison method. Significant differences in the attenuation, velocity, impedance, and density among yolk and thick and outer thin albumen are observed. The acoustic properties of 10% aqueous solutions of ovalb...

The gonad of Helix aspersa contains a factor which can stimulate in a dose-dependent manner galactogen synthesis in albumen gland explants cultured in vitro. The stimulatory activity appears to be greater when the gonad is predominantly male than when it is predominantly female. The albumen gland of virgin snails does not respond in vitro to the gonadal influence. The receptivity of the albumen...

The external dimensions, weight and contents (yolk, albumen, shell) of Double Yolked (DY) and Single Yolked (SY) eggs of the duck (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus) were measured and compared. The yolks in DY eggs did not differ in weight (p = 0.144), although each double yolk was significantly lighter than the yolk of a SY egg (p<0.001). DY albumen weight was below that expected of a SY egg of co...

The current research work was conducted to compare the external and internal egg quality parameters of different breeds peacock. For this purpose, 130 freshly laid eggs 2 species 11 (n = 10 per breed) were obtained from captive breeding facilities. In Pavo muticus muticus, higher weight (106.57 ± 0.69), length (7.21 0.01), width (5.31 breadth (28.18 volume (100.84 0.48) recorded. However, shape...
