Proximate composition (moisture, protein, total fat, and total ash) and textural characteristics (hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness, chewiness and firmness and work of shear) of cooked sausages formulated from mechanically deboned chicken meat (MDCM) with addition of chicken offal (heart, gizzard or liver) were investigated. Chicken offal replaced equal weight (15 kg) of MDCM in...

The objective of this examination is to decide the predominance Campylobacter spp. in some chicken cuts and giblets items by utilizing both ordinary sub-atomic techniques. zoontic spp.widelyhus,120 item tests (25g each) were gathered from different general stores at Menofia legislature breast, thigh, liver gizzard. Most examples defiled with species demonstrated most elevated pollution (56.67%)...

Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the post-embryonic development of Chrysomya putoria (Wiedemann 1818) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) reared on a diet of gizzard or gizzard/agar homogenate, with a diet of beef used as the control. Four replicates per treatment were performed (60 mL of each diet). The gizzard (60%), distilled water, and agar homogenate were combined in a blender. Ea...

Smooth muscle is generally grouped into two classes of differing contractile properties. Tonic smooth muscles show slow rates of force activation and relaxation and slow speeds of shortening (V(max)) but force maintenance, whereas phasic smooth muscles show poor force maintenance but have fast V(max) and rapid rates of force activation and relaxation. We characterized the development of gizzard...

The aim of the present experiment was to examine the effect of different levels of rapeseed meal (RSM) and sunflower meal (SFM) and enzyme combination (endoxylanase and β-glucanase) on the production performance, carcass quality, gizzard development and digesta viscosity of broiler chickens. The experimental design was a 3×2 factorial arrangement of treatments evaluating three diet types contai...

The 20,000-dalton light chain of myosin from chicken gizzard has been shown to be phosphorylated in a Ca’+ and calmodulin-independent manner by the activated form of a protease-activated kinase from rabbit reticulocytes. Protease-activated kinase I incorporates phosphate stoichiometrically into the phosphorylatable light chain (P-light chain) in isolated myosin light chains and in actomyosin...

The 20,000-dalton light chain of myosin from chicken gizzard has been shown to be phosphorylated in a Ca2+ and calmodulin-independent manner by the activated form of a protease-activated kinase from rabbit reticulocytes. Protease-activated kinase I incorporates phosphate stoichiometrically into the phosphorylatable light chain (P-light chain) in isolated myosin light chains and in actomyosin. T...
