The purpose of the present study is to get a better knowledge of the Malagasy indigenous race of hen through its egg physical characteristics and its laying performance in order to promote villager poultry production. This study was undertaken within a local family farm, of the rural Township of Ambalamahasoa, Haute Matsiatra Region, Madagascar, with 25 hens and 4 roosters in age to reproduce. ...

the aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of storage and temperature on egg physical quality in hyline chickens line. a total of 150 eggs from college of natural resources farm were sampled for the present experiment. about 70 eggs each were stored in home refrigerator (temperature, 7.46±0.23 ˚c; relative humidity, 24.80±0.05%) and room temperature (temperature, 22.98±1.12 ˚c; relative hu...

Cell-cell communication and interaction is critical during fertilization and triggers free cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]cyto) as a key signal for egg activation and a polyspermy block in animal oocytes. Fertilization in flowering plants is more complex, involving interaction of a pollen tube with egg adjoining synergid cells, culminating in release of two sperm cells and their fusion with the egg a...

the aim of the present study was to characterize allergen-specific immunoglobulin e (ige) among children in fez region. eighty one children were recruited from the hospital university center of fez. all of them had completed a questionnaire before taking sera. the sera were used to measure total ige and specific data to proteins of egg's white (ewp), peanuts (pp) and gliadins (g). in last part,...

non- alcoholic malt drinks are popular in many countries including muslim countries. in iran, these drinks are prepared in a manner similar to beer, but without fermentation and are generally produced using barley malt. in this study, malt drinks with ratios of 0:100, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25 and 100:0 of barley to oat malts, the latter obtained under optimum conditions in terms of its enzymes activ...

In this note, we use the theory of Desarguesian spreads to investigate good eggs. Thas showed that an egg in PG(4n− 1, q), q odd, with two good elements is elementary. By a short combinatorial argument, we show that a similar statement holds for large pseudo-caps, in odd and even characteristic. As a corollary, this improves and extends the result of Thas, Thas and Van Maldeghem (2006) where on...
