This study investigated the effects of bamboo vinegar (BV) on production performance, egg quality, antioxidant status, and serum biochemical parameters laying hens during summer. One hundred twenty 36-week-old Hy-Line Brown were randomly assigned to 4 groups, with 30 per group. The control group was fed a basal diet 1 mL/kg, 5 10 mL/kg BV added 0.1% BV, 0.5% 1.0% respectively. experiment lasted...

Sera from 31 Legionnaires' disease (LD) survivors of the Philadelphia outbreak, 31 Legionnaire (L) controls, and 300 additional controls were examined for the presence of specific antibodies to five antigen preparations of Legionella pneumophila (serogroup 1) to determine the effect of antigen preparation on the sensitivity and specificity of the indirect immunofluorescence test. Diagnostic lev...

Background: The present study was designed to evaluate Ciprofloxacin residue and their impact on some biomolecules (albumin, total protein and cholesterol) in eggs of laying hens after oral administration. For that purpose, One group (A) of laying hens (n = 20) were orally administered 10 mg⁄kg ciprofloxacin for five consecutive days. The second group (n = 10) was untreated controls. Eggs were ...

Angiotensin receptor blockers are well known for their therapeutic efficacy and fimasartan has been used safely efficiently since 2010 in the treatment of hypertension. The study aimed to examine anti-inflammatory effect egg albumin-induced inflammation rats. Rats were treated with diclofenac (25 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) or at two different doses (3 10 intraperitoneally). increase thickness pa...

A quantitative method was developed for the determination of proteins in aqueous solution. Under optimal conditions, the linear ranges of calibration curves for the determination of bovine serum albumin (BSA), human serum albumin (HSA) and egg albumin (Alb) were 01.13 μg ml-1, 0-1.17μg ml-1 and 0-1.13μg ml-1, respectively. The detection limits were 15.74 ng ml-1 for BSA, 23.34 ng ml-1 for HSA a...

rice bran (rb) is a major by-product, produced from the rice milling process. this study was conducted to evaluate the performance, egg quality, and blood biochemical parameters of 288 hy-line laying hens fed diets with rice bran and commercial microbial phytase natuphos®5000. the experiment was a 4×2 factorial one with four rb levels (0, 5, 10, and 15%) by two phytase levels (0 and 5000 ftu/kg...

the present study was conducted to determine the effects of rice bran and dietary multi-enzyme (natuzyme) on performance, egg quality, and blood biochemical parameters of 288 laying hens during 12 week. this experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design in a factorial arrangement of 4×2, with four different levels of rice bran (0, 5, 10 and 15%) and two levels of multi enzyme (0 an...

Proteins obtained from agricultural sources were blended with divalent metal ions to see if binding reactions occurred between protein chains. Feather keratin, egg albumin, and wheat gluten showed elastic modulus increases of 2–3 times with addition of divalent transition metal ions Cu2þ and Zn2þ. Increasing concentrations of ions resulted in increased stiffness. Birefringence experiments perfo...

Although the unit&an theory of antibodies has gained general acceptance since its formulation by Zinsser and others (l), quantitative evidence for the identity of agglutinins and precipitins has been lacking. Zinsser (2) has attempted to reconcile mathematically the apparent discrepancy between the serum dilutions in which agglutination and precipitation occur and Jones (3) has shown that collo...

In this study, the effect of basil seed gum (BSG) on the stability and rheological properties of egg white albumin (EWA) emulsions was investigated. A constant amount of EWA (0.5% w/v) and different concentrations of BSG (0-0.3% w/v) were used for the manufacture and stabilization of oil-in-water emulsions (30% w/w). The results showed that by increasing BSG concentration, the storage (21 days)...
