the present research was designed to examine the genetic analysis of egg weight, egg yolk weight and egg albumen weight of bovan neva black laying hens at 25, 51 and 72 weeks. for this purpose, thirty birds were selected from the layer flock in the babcock university teaching and research farm. they were individually housed in separate labeled battery cage. a total of thirty eggs were collected...

Twenty-four, 79-wk-old White Leghorn hens were assigned randomly to three diets containing 0, 2.5, or 5.0% conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). The diets were fed for 4 wk to determine the effect of dietary CLA on quality characteristics of eggs. Eggs were collected daily and stored at 4 C for 1, 7, 21, or 49 d. At the designated times, the eggs were processed to evaluate water content, fatty acid c...

The paper studies the local zero spacings of deformations of the Riemann ξ-function under certain averaging and differencing operations. For real h we consider the entire functions Ah(s) := 1 2 (ξ(s + h) + ξ(s− h)) and Bh(s) = 1 2i (ξ(s+ h)− ξ(s− h)) . For |h| ≥ 1 2 the zeros of Ah(s) and Bh(s) all lie on the critical line R(s) = 1 2 and are simple zeros. The number of zeros of these functions ...

1. The effect of biotin supplementation of low-biotin practical diets during rearing and laying stages on performance was studied in White Leghorn-type laying hens. 2. Biotin supplementation during rearing did not have any apparent effect on the condition of the bird at point-of-lay or on subsequent laying performance. 3. Biotin supplementation during lay did not have any beneficial effect upon...

The technologies for developing food products people with type 2 diabetes involve enrichment polyphenolic compounds that have hypoglycemic and/or hypolipidemic properties. production of ingredients introduction into such should the techniques concentration natural polyphenols on certain food-grade protein matrices. In this study, a technology was developed functional ingredient, which complex (...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of storage temperature and time on the quality parameters of eggs from laying hens at peak production. A total of 576 eggs were obtained from Lohmann Light-Brown hens, which were collected 3 times when the hens were 26, 27, and 28 weeks old. The fresh eggs were collected and measured within 2 h of being laid. Samples of 48 eggs each were s...

(P < 0.05) was found in detectable force required to break the vitelline membrane between treatments. This difference was less than 0.05 g. The elasticity of the vitelline membrane decreased during storage (P < 0.01) remaining low after 6 wk. Significant differences were detected for L*, a* and b* values. While numerically these differences existed, they were below the degree detectable by the ...

The TA-XT21 texture analyzer (TA) was used to evaluate vitelline membrane strength (VMS). Fresh and aged (1 wk at 25 C) eggs (n = 48 eggs x 2 replications) were evaluated. Fresh and aged eggs were further divided into two groups of yolk only or whole egg (with intact albumen). Yolk index, Haugh units, pH, broken-out egg weights, VMS, yolk viscosity, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images...
