The objective of our research was to evaluate the possible alteration organoleptic properties eggs produced by hens (Lohmann Brown-Classic) fed with diets containing different doses an industrial by-product enriched organic zinc (Zincoppyeast, ZP): Control 0%, ZP 2.5%, and 5.0%. Eggs were collected after 30 days (batch 1) 60 2) feeding experimental subjected chemical, microbiological, human sen...

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of embryonic nutritional enrichment on the development and properties of broiler leg bones (tibia and femur) from the prenatal period until maturity. To accomplish the objective, 300 eggs were divided into 2 groups: a noninjected group (control) and a group injected in ovo with a solution containing minerals, vitamins, and carbohydrates (enr...

an experiment was carried out to compare the effects of laying hen’s diet supplemented with inorganic and different organic sources of selenium (se) on quality and oxidative stability of eggs during storage. a total of 81, (35-week old) laying hens of lohmann lsl-white were assigned to cages in a completely randomized design with 9 groups of treatment and 3 replicates of 3 birds. hens in each g...

Shell quality has been identified as a heritable trait that can be manipulated by genetic selection. Previous research has concluded that many methods of determining shell quality produce variable results. With the development of newer, more precise measuring technologies, shell strength can now be assessed in a consistent, objective fashion. A research project was conducted to determine what r...

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death in the United States. Elevated levels of plasma total cholesterol (TC), and particularly plasma low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDLC), are primary contributing factors to CHD. Dietary plant sterols (phytosterols) have been shown to significantly reduce plasma TC and LDLC in humans, primarily through inhibition of intestinal cholest...
