Effects of egg and yolk weights on yolk antibody (IgY) production in laying chickens.
Twenty 35-wk-old chickens, including 10 Single Comb White Leghorn (SCWL) and 10 Rhode Island Red (RIR) hens, were used to examine the effects of egg and yolk weights on egg yolk antibody (IgY) production in the two strains of chickens immunized with BSA. The SCWL chickens had a greater (P < 0.01) percentage hen-day production and greater egg and yolk weights than did the RIR chickens. However, ...
متن کاملProduction of Specific Egg Yolk Antibody (IgY) against Cryptosporidium parvum Oocysts
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Cryptosporidium parvum is a coccidian protozoan that causes diarrhea in immunocompromised humans and newborn animals. The severity of the disease depends on the immunological status of the affected. Cryptosporiosis can have lethal effects on immunocompromised individuals such as AIDS patients. About 10% of...
متن کاملEffect of Dietary Copper on Performance, Serum and Egg Yolk Cholesterol and Copper Residues in Yolk of Laying Chickens
A 294-day study was conducted to determine the effects of organic and inorganic copper (Cu) sources on laying performance, blood and yolk cholesterol and Cu accumulation in the yolk of laying hens. 480 Kabir® laying hens (20 weeks old) reared for 294 days in three phases (early, mid and late lay) were used. They were randomly allocated to six dietary groups of 80 birds split into four replicate...
متن کاملSpecific Chicken Egg Yolk Antibodies against Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli K99 in Serum and Egg Yolk of Immunized Laying Hens
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli K99 is one of the dominant pathogens associated with diarrhea of calves. Immunoglobulin Y (IgY), has been used as an inexpensive alternative to antibiotics for the prevention and therapy of several bacterial infections. The study aimed to prepare IgY antibodies against E. coli K99 and to investigate its in vitro effectiveness. E. c...
متن کاملProduction of Egg Yolk Antibody (IgY) against Recombinant Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus COE Protein
Background: Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) is a highly contagious disease of pigs, and is characterized by a series of clinical symptoms, such as severe diarrhea, vomiting and dehydration. Partial protective antigen gene (COE gene) of S protein possessing the main B cell epitope, is able to encode proteins with reactogenicity to induce the production of neutralizing antibodies. IgY was found t...
