Eggshell is solid wastes produced from the food industry. Commonly, eggshell and its membrane used to treat water pollution such as heavy metal removal also dye removal. Thus, on treatment process, it’s was having material handling problem, which needed filtration method remove out adsorbent solution, it not efficient when commercializing in wastewater plant. Therefore, this study using alcohol...

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the potential dietary interaction between 1,4-diaminobutane (putrescine) and calcium on eggshell quality and overall laying performance. One hundred ninety-two 30-wk-old White Leghorn hens were fed a corn-and soybean-meal-based diet supplemented with 0.00, 0.05, 0.10, or 0.15% putrescine and 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, or 4.0% calcium in a factorial design (12 birds p...

Eggshell quality is the main trait to assess egg quality. Marker assisted selection can be used to improve this trait. During eggshell formation, a mass of inorganic minerals is deposited. The Sodium Channel (SCNN1) gene family plays an essential role in cation transportation and SCNN1g is a member of this gene family. The objective of this study was to estimate the frequency of SCNN1g gene var...

Eggshell mechanical property traits such as eggshell breaking strength (ESS), eggshell thickness (EST) and eggshell weight (ESW) are most common and important indexes to evaluate eggshell quality in poultry industry. Uterine ion transporters involve in eggshell formation and might be associated with eggshell mechanical property traits. In this study, 99 SNPs in 15 ion transport genes were selec...

Abstract The present study investigated the possibility of complete utilization eggshell waste (ESW) transforming it to adherent egg white protein solution, calcium chloride dihydrate, and membranes (ESM). Adherent solution was obtained by washing ESW three times with distilled water at 25°C, followed filtration, analyzed for content lysozyme activity. ESM were simultaneously exposure washed eg...

This final report summarizes the work completed on the two year pilot project, which concluded 31 July 2016. The first section summarizes the two previous reports to place the current work in context. Two new research results sections are included here. The first concerns the use of a synthetic peptide, mimicking natural eggshell protein believed to be influential in biomineralization, to exami...

Eggshell quality is one of the most significant factors affecting poultry industry; it economically influences egg production and hatchability. Eggshell consists of shell membranes and the true shell that includes mammillary layer, palisade layer, and cuticle. Measurements of eggshell quality include eggshell weight, shell percentage, breaking strength, thickness, and density. Mainly eggshell t...

Drosophila embryonic dorsal-ventral (DV) polarity is controlled by a group of sequentially acting serine proteases located in the fluid-filled perivitelline space between the embryonic membrane and the eggshell, which generate the ligand for the Toll receptor on the ventral side of the embryo. Spatial control of the protease cascade relies on the Pipe sulfotransferase, a fly homolog of vertebra...
