It was speculated that the unsaturated fatty acid chains of lipids contributed to the oxidative stability of silky fowl eggs. Rheologic properties, and oxidative stability of baked sponge cake using silky fowl egg. From the results of this stu...

Indigenous chickens (IC) are mainly raised by resource poor rural households in developing countries [1]. Although they are of low genetic potential compared to the commercial breeds, IC play a vital role in livelihoods of farmers and contribute significantly to food security and income [1]. IC dominates in most smallholder farms in Malawi and they are deemed less productive but appear to be ad...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of fennel essence on performance, egg quality and ovarian morphology of commercial laying eggs for ten weeks. in this experiment, one hundred and forty 30-wk-old commercial egg laying type hy-line (w36) were randomly assigned into 4 treatments with 5 replicates and 8 birds per each. treatments were a control (0.0% essence) and diets containing ...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of mineral and vitamin premix on performance and egg traits of laying hens from 37 to 49 weeks of age. two hundred and forty laying hens (hy-line w-36 strain) were randomly assigned to 5 dietary treatments of four replicates each with 12 hens per replicate). the levels of mineral and vitamin premixes in the experiment were ...
