Lipids are an important nutritional component of the avian egg. A review of the literature was completed to determine the fatty acid compositions in egg yolk from some avian species. Additionally, the nutritional influence of lipid and lipoprotein content on the plasma of male participants during 30-day feeding was discussed. The ostrich eggs had the highest unsaturated fatty acid and the lowes...

Straková E., P. Suchý, M. Šugerková, M. Macháček: Positive Effect of Plant-Based Diet on the Performance and Health of Laying Hens. acta vet. Brno 2007, 76: S31-S37. an entirely plant-based feed mixture was prepared to minimize the potential risk of transmitting prion infections through animal feed. It consisted of two protein components (soya extracted meal and lupin seed meal) and was compare...

This study aims to the productivity and quality of Isa Brown chicken eggs given tuna fish oil in ration. The design used was a completely randomized (CRD) with 200 chickens 4 treatments 5 replications each replication consisted 10 chickens. P0 : Ration without use oil, P1 0.25 % P2 ration 0.50% P3 0.75% oil. feed is composed ingredients, namely corn, bran, KLS Super Plus. variables observed inc...

the present research was designed to examine the genetic analysis of egg weight, egg yolk weight and egg albumen weight of bovan neva black laying hens at 25, 51 and 72 weeks. for this purpose, thirty birds were selected from the layer flock in the babcock university teaching and research farm. they were individually housed in separate labeled battery cage. a total of thirty eggs were collected...

A widespread misconception has been developing among the Canadian public and among physicians. It is increasingly believed that consumption of dietary cholesterol and egg yolks is harmless. There are good reasons for long- standing recommendations that dietary cholesterol should be limited to less than 200 mg/day; a single large egg yolk contains approximately 275 mg of cholesterol (more than a...

The African green monkey has previously been found to be a promising model for the study of atherosclerosis. We have compared the plasma and HDL cholesterol response to dietary manipulation in the two subspecies of African green monkeys (vervets and grivets) most often imported for biomedical research purposes. Twenty vervets and 20 grivets were fed, in succession, diets containing safflower oi...

this experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of antibiotic, organic acid, probiotic and prebiotic on quality traits of eggs, egg yolk lipids and blood metabolites of laying hens strain hy-line (w-36). the experiment was carried out as a completely randomized design from 32 to 42 weeks of age with 5 treatments, 4 replicates and 8 hens in each replicate. the experimental treatments con...

The heat resistance and growth possibilities of various members of the Micrococcaceae in egg yolk and egg yolk with added salt were determined. Egg yolk alone protected members of the Micrococcaceae considerably against heat. Whereas in water Staphylococcus aureus S6 had a decimal reduction time (D) value of 66 s at 55 degrees C, its D value in egg yolk at the same temperature was 246 s. In sal...

The objective of this study was to develop a statistical model for predicting egg yolk contamination level in egg white using a spectroscopic method. Eggs that were stored for 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.5, and 6.5 wk at 4 C were manually processed to cleanly separate the yolk from the white. Egg white samples containing 0e0.5% (w/w) of yolk were prepared by adding yolk to the white and further dilutin...
