this experiment was carried out to study the effects of different levels of canola meal of different fat sources on the egg quality, performance as well egg yolk cholesterol during the first 12 weeks of age in laying hens (hy-line w-36). throughout the experiment a total of 432 hens were employed in a completely randomized design in a factorial arrangement of 3×4, with three levels of canola me...

In this study, it was aimed to determine the internal and external quality traits of the Guinea fowl eggs as well as the phenotypic correlation among the these traits. Totally 100 Guinea fowl eggs were collected in three sequential days were used for this study. The birds were housed at Poultry Research Unit of the Department of Animal Science, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Akdeniz. Val...

A study was conducted with an objective to compare the efficacy of bentonite (BT), Spirulina platensis (SP) and glucomannan mycotoxin binders (GMA) on aflatoxicosis in broiler breeders. Three levels of AF, three binders and combination of different levels of AF with binders were evaluated. The Aflatoxin B1 (AF) fed at the levels of 300, 400 and 500ppb for three periods, each with duration of th...

This study aimed to determine the effect of Bifidobacterium sp. and Guazuma ulmifolia leaf extract on Japanese quail egg production, including mass, haugh unit (HU), yolk colour. A total 96 quails were in early stages which randomized into four treatments six replications. The (T0) without G. extract, (T1) 0.2% sp., (T2) (T3) + extract. Egg mass data was collected third fourth week treatment pe...

This study aims to determine the quality of chicken eggs Lohman Brown has given fish oil in rations. The design used was a completely randomized (CRD) with total 160 chickens 4 treatments and replications each replication consisted 10 chickens. P0: Ration without oil, P1: using 0.2% P2: Rations 0.3% P3: 0.4% oil. feed is composed ingredients, namely corn, bran, concentrate, mineral, flour. vari...

The aim of this study was to recognize the effects of dietary hempseed (HS) and hempseed oil (HO) on performance, egg quality and blood parameters of laying hens. A total of 320 Hy-line 55-weeks laying hens were randomly allotted to eight dietary treatments with five replicates (8 birds each). The experimental treatments were offered as a completely randomized design as follow: control group (n...

This paper proposes an asymptotic one-sided N(0, 1) test for independence between two stationary time series using the empirical characteristic function. Unlike the tests based on the cross-correlation function (e.g. Haugh, 1976; Hong, 1996; Koch & Yang 1986), the proposed test has power against all pairwise cross-dependencies, including those with zero cross-correlation. By differentiating the...

Eggs were collected from a single inline processing facility weekly for 3 wk (replicates). The eggs were stored at 4 degrees C and 80% RH. Sampling began the day after collection and continued each week for 10 wk. During analysis, 24 eggs were examined for egg weight, albumen height, Haugh units (HU), shell strength, and vitelline membrane strength for each replicate. Egg weight decreased (P < ...
