Previous studies have supported the benefit of increased intakes of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) omega-3 fatty acid during pregnancy and lactation (or via infant formula) on visual acuity in infants and young toddlers. The present study was directed to investigate the potential benefit of enhanced dietary omega-3 fatty acid intakes in children ages 7-12 on visual acuity. The study population comp...

A 15-day study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Artemia metanauplii enriched with two commercial supplements (Easy DHA-Selco and S. presso) which contained high levels of n–3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n–3 LC-PUFA) on growth performance, stress resistance and fatty acid profile of Litopenaeus vannamei post larvae (PL). In this regard, PL were fed with three different types ...

The production of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid enriched eggs by addition of linseed oil to the laying hens' diet has been evaluated in terms of production parameters and n-6/n-3 ratio. A total of 150 18weeks old Lohmann Brown laying hens were housed in cages and fed with basal diet and four experimental diets containing 1%, 2%, 3% or 4% of linseed oil added to the basal diet. The effect of th...

Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis was detected in artificially inoculated eggs within 24 h through a rapid monoclonal antibody-based dot blot immunoassay. Detection in poultry and other products required 28 h. Samples were directly enriched in homogenized egg without the need for pre- or postenrichment steps. Serovar Enteritidis was detected in the presence of other bacteria when outcompe...

Grape pomace (GP) is an industrial by-product of grape juice making and commonly discarded as a waste product, even with its large quantity phytochemicals. Thus, the objectives this trial were to examine effects graded dietary GP on laying rate, egg quality, yolk lipid profile, oxidative stability, shell quality ultrastructure, serum biochemistry. Two hundred 35-week-old hens allocated four tre...

Introduction.?Vitamin Bx is widely distributed in nature. It is particularly abundant in whole wheat, enriched bread, whole cereal grains, legume seeds, certain fruits and vegetables, yolk of eggs, liver and meat, specially pork. In refined cereals vitamin Bx is negligible. Deficiency in vitamin usually occurs as a result of the cereal grains being highly polished or adulterated and also from w...

The food industry represents a vast environmental burden to our planet. Most animal products are known have greater impacts than alternative plant-based sources of nutrition. One the most consumed eggs, represented in dietary habits both as primary ingredient and processed. In European Union (EU), eggs for consumption can be produced four different laying systems: enriched cages, barns, free-ra...
