Chinavia longicorialis (Breddin) is recorded only in Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay on host plants of at least three different families. Adults and nymphs were reared under standard controlled conditions (24 ± 1°C; 70 ± 10% RH; 12hL:12hD), and fed on green beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Eggs and fi rst instars of C. longicorialis are very similar to those of other species of Chinavia; however, t...

Monoidal width was recently introduced by the authors as a measure of complexity decomposing morphisms in monoidal categories. We have shown that category cospans graphs, and its variants can be used to capture tree width, path branch width. In this paper we study matrices, an extension different open where connectivity information is handled with matrix algebra graphs are composed along edges ...

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of intra-amnion administration of different doses of ascorbic acid (AA) on hatchability, growth performance, blood metabolites, jejunal morphology, and tibia breaking strength in 36h post hatch fasted broiler chickens. Two hundred eighty-eight Ross-308 fertile eggs at the 15thday of incubation were divided into four treatment groups, each con...

Bird eggs should have high internal and external quality to maintain the economic life of the product and hence recognizing and understanding thefactors affecting egg quality have great importance. In this experiment, 18 healthy eggs were selected and then exposed to a 1.5 Tesla magnetic field. After this stage, 6 samples of them were immersed in sunflower oil and stored for two days. In ...

—We describe egg characteristics, and analyze between and within clutch variation in egg size and mass in a natural population of Greater Rheas (Rhea americana). We assess the effect of this variation on nesting success and egg success. Yolk represented 29.5% of egg mass whereas albumen was 63.9%. Yolk mass increased with egg width but not with egg length, while mass of albumen increased mainly...

Abstract Several endemic species of Blaps occur in Tunisia, and the nefrauensis has been reported Moulares (urban zone west-central Tunisia), where it lives reproduces home gardens old buildings. The aim this work is to study life cycle darkling beetle, considering both field laboratory rearing conditions. As a result, beetle different developmental stages (egg, larva, prepupa, pupa, adult) tha...

Background: Moringa oleifera seed meal is a potential noble feed ingredient that could be incorporated into the diet of poultry. It cheaper alternative considering its ability to thrive under all climatic conditions in Nigeria, West Africa. The study was aimed at evaluating effects dietary inclusion (MOSM) on egg characteristics, conversion ratio and body weight parameters Yoruba Ecotype Nigeri...
