This work is reported on the synthesis of Fe3O4/eggshell nanocomposites in the absence of anystabilizer or surfactant. Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles were established on the egg shell. The adsorptionof Malachite green (MG) and Crystal violet (CV) as cationic dyes and Eriochrome Black T (EBT) as ananionic dye by magnetite nanoparticles loaded egg shell (MNLES) and magnetite nanop...

The aim of the study was to evaluate egg shell quality characteristics, mineral content in the egg shell, and serum mineral concentration during the egg formation process as influenced by oviposition time and ambient temperature at the beginning and end of the laying cycle in laying hens and broiler breeders. Egg shell quality deteriorated significantly at the higher temperature and was lower i...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of maternal breeding values of the weight of day-old chick chicks in a commercial broiler line with egg traits including yolk fatty acids. maternal breeding values of 63 hens of known pedigree were estimated through an animal model, containing direct additive genetic effect, maternal additive genetic effect, maternal common environme...

A wide variety of waste resources are available on our planet. Egg shell waste is available in huge quantities from the food processing, egg breaking, and the hatching industries. Calcium plays a vital role in Neurospora crassa hyphal growth. Batch experiments have been performed using pure calcium salt as well as calcium in the form of pretreated egg shell waste in concentrations of 0.4, 0.8, ...

Two experiments conducted on laying hens, aged 50 and 52 weeks, were carried out to evaluate the effect of dietary Mg and its relationship to the Ca : NPP (non-phytate phosphorus) ratio using a various grain-size of limestone. The Ca : NPP ratio in each experiment was 12.8 and 18, respectively. Two Mg levels were evalued in the first (1.56 and 4.0 g/kg) and the second experiment (1.52 and 4.0 g...

Avian embryos develop and grow from energy and nutrients stored in the egg by the hen. In this sense, breeder male contribution is not important. Follicular deposition of nutrients occurs over a wide range of time, but becomes relevant during the week prior to ovulation. Amounts, but also forms, of nutrients deposited in the egg determine success of embryo development and hatching of a healthy ...

The research was conducted at Bangladesh Agricultural University Poultry Farm, Mymensingh to evaluate the effect of different levels and sources of calcium on egg production and egg shell quality of Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) up to 23 weeks of age. For that purpose a total number of 108 Japanese quails aged 20 week were fed on diets containing different levels (2.5%, 2.75% and ...

A study was conducted to determine the effect of live weight of partridges on egg production and egg quality characteristics. A total of 144 Rock Partridges were divided into control, heavy, middle, and light BW groups at 32 wk of age. Live weights averaged 512.78 g for the control group, 576.18 g for the heavy group, 523.49 g for the middle group, and 473.83 g for the light group. Egg producti...

A commercial egg-type chicken (ISA Brown; CEC) and a dual-purpose pure breed of the Korean Native Chicken (KNC) were compared for yolk to albumen (Y:A) ratio and their major egg characteristics at seven different ages. The eggs from KNC were significantly (P < 0.01) lighter in egg, albumen, and shell weight than those from CEC. However, the yolk weight and Y:A ratio of the eggs from KNC were si...
