The objective of this paper is to improve the efficiency in predicting the fertility of chicken eggs using digitalised techniques. The traditional technique finds incongruence in predicting the fertility by manual method. By using this system the digital images obtained as the result of candling process is used for fertility prediction. The obtained image is converted to RGB components as the c...

this study was conducted to examine morphometric and meristic characteristics alongside pigmentation patterns of bream larvae, abramis brama orientalis, in four stages of larval development. morphological characters including total length (tl), standard length (sl), notochord length (nl), head length (hl), head depth (hd), eye diameter (ed) and mouth width (mw) were examined from hatching time ...

  The aims of the present study were to determine the best time for egg stripping after ovulation and to study oocyte over-ripening in the Caspian brown trout (Salmo trutta caspius). Eggs were retained in the female abdominal cavity for 40 days post ovulation (DPO). Partial volumes of eggs stripped from 10 individually identified females at 10 days intervals and fertilized with a pool of semen ...

Abstract. To date the final stage in deglaciation of Greenland shelf, when a contiguous ice sheet margin on inner shelf transitioned to outlet glaciers troughs with intervening ice-free areas, we generated cosmogenic 10Be dates from bedrock knobs six outlying islands along stretch 300 km southwestern coast. Despite inheritance influencing some dates, ages generally support Ice Sheet (GrIS) that...

Rat placental lactogen-I (rPL-I), the first prolactin-like hormone expressed in the placenta during pregnancy in the rat, is known to influence maternal functions. In the present study, we have investigated the effects of rPL-I on the growth and development of cultured whole rat embryos. Rat embryos, with or without ectoplacental cone (EPC) attached, were explanted at day 9 of gestation. After ...

16-wk experiment with laying hens was carried out to examine the effects of feeding of mycotoxin-contaminated maize (CM) on performance, nutrient digestibility, weight of organs, serum chemical parameters, and antibody titers to Newcastle disease virus (NDV) in serum. Also tested were fimbrien antigen K88 in egg yolk and zearalenone (ZON) residues in eggs and tissues. The Fusarium-toxin-contami...

Structurally specific very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) particles are presumed to redirect VLDL uptake during yolk deposition. Egg production is an energy intensive process, but energy excess negatively affects egg production. This study sought to determine whether overfeeding changed hen lipoprotein profiles, and if so, whether changes were related to egg production. Overfeeding caused 33% o...

Ferric chloride induced dehydrodimerization of l,2 ,3 ,4 -te trah yd ro-9 //-carb azole (1) gives pro­ duct 6 , the structure of which was established on the basis of its spectroscopic properties. The *H and 13C chemical shifts of the arom atic part of 1 , as well as of 4a-m eth yl-2 ,3 ,4 ,4a-tetrah yd ro-l Hcarbazole (7 a ) and 4a-ph enyl-2 ,3 ,4 ,4a-tetrahyd ro-l//-carb azole (7b ) have also...
