Effect of diet supplemented with black cumin (Nigella sativa) seeds on egg yolk fatty acid profile and egg yolk cholesterol level of Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica)

Effects of Dietary Fats on Reproductive Performance, Egg Quality, Fatty Acid Composition of Tissue and Yolk and Prostaglandin Levels of Embryonic Tissues in Japanese Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)

BioActivities of Coturnix japonica (quail) egg yolk and albumen against physiological stress

Cold and immobilization stressors can generate oxidative stress as well as skeletal muscle fatigue. Free radicals cause oxidative degradation of lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates molecules thereby compromising cell integrity and function. Coturnix japonica (quail) egg had been described as being very functional biochemically, due to the essential biomolecules it contains in ver...

Egg Yolk Cholesterol of Hens Fed Barley Malt Rootlets

This study aimed to decrease the cholesterol content of egg yolk of laying hens through inclusion of barley malt rootlets in the diets. Forty-two, 54-week-old, Lohman laying hens were fed for a 12 weeks laying period on 3 iso-caloric and iso-nitrogenous diets contained 0 (control), 25.5 or 51.1g barley malt rootlets/kg. Inclusion of barley malt rootlets at 25.5 or 51.1g/kg diet significantly de...

Lipidomic Modulation in Stressed Albino Rats Is Altered by Yolk and Albumen of Quail (Coturnix japonica) Egg and Poultry Feed

Cold and immobilization stressors can generate oxidative stress as well as skeletal muscle fatigue. Free radicals cause oxidative degradation of lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates molecules, thereby compromising cell integrity and function. Quail egg had been described as being very functional biochemically, due to the essential biomolecules it contains in very regulated quantit...

Egg Production Pattern Of Japanese Quail (Coturnix Coturnix Japonica) In Northern Guinea Savannah Zone Of Nigeria

The technology drive from egg production in relationship with genetic selection makes today’s egg production quails quite different from those of a decade ago. For instance age at 5 percent production is now earlier and total egg number has increased. The quail eggs are renowned for their high biological value (George, 2002). Although it was first considered mainly as a model animal for commerc...
