This paper extends a mereotopological theory of spatiotemporal reasoning to vague ”egg-yolk” regions. In this extension, the egg and its yolk are allowed to move and change over time. We present a classification of motion classes for vague regions as well as composition tables for reasoning about moving vague regions. We also discuss the formation of scrambled eggs when it becomes impossible to...

The TA-XT21 texture analyzer (TA) was used to evaluate vitelline membrane strength (VMS). Fresh and aged (1 wk at 25 C) eggs (n = 48 eggs x 2 replications) were evaluated. Fresh and aged eggs were further divided into two groups of yolk only or whole egg (with intact albumen). Yolk index, Haugh units, pH, broken-out egg weights, VMS, yolk viscosity, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of fennel and thymyus valgaris extracts with and without flaxseed on performance and egg quality of laying hens (hy line w-36). the experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with 200 laying hens in 5 treatments and 5 replicates (with 8 hen in each replicate) for 12 weeks. the hens were fed isocaloric and iso nitrogenous diet...

The objective of this work was to determine the influence natural (marigold flower extract) and synthetic (canthaxanthin) pigments on shelf life eggs from light laying hens in final stages production. 288 birds were distributed a completely randomized design, with eight treatments, consisted four levels marigold extract (2.1; 2.4; 2.7 3 ppm) canthaxanthin (0.4 ; 0.7; 1,0 1.3 ppm), each treatmen...

This study was conducted to determine effects of dietary NaHCO supplementation on egg 3 production and egg quality during the late laying period. Hisex Brown layers, 54 wks of age, were blocked according to the cage location and then assigned randomly to receive one of four diets containing 0, 0.1, 0.2, or 0.4% NaHCO for 75 d. Each diet was replicated in 6 groups; each consisting of 2 cages con...

Carotenoids offer animals many nutritional, health, and reproductive benefits. When in high supply, carotenoids can boost antioxidant protection and immune strength as well as stimulate egg production and enrich the color of sexual ornaments like feathers. Certain reproductive investments, however, often come at the cost of others; for example, the production of many offspring may compromise th...

This research was conducted for 3 months in the laboratory of Department Animal Husbandry, State University Gorontalo. study used an egg sample 240 eggs purebred chickens. Eggs were divided into 4 treatments, each treatment repeated times. A0 = 0% (eggs without treatment), A1 10% soaked at level water hyacinth leaf extract), A2 20% A3 30% by immersing extract). B0 (1 day old egg), B1 (14 B2 (21...

Purpose: checking the assimilation of beta-carotene from a nanostructured globe and influence 10% on productivity organoleptic qualities products. Materials methods. Experience was conducted basis Russian Pularka farm "Russian Pularia" Leningrad Region. 2 groups quail meat - egg direction Estonian breed were formed for 10 goals at age 50 days beginning production. All quails contained in same c...

The objective of this experiment was to replace soya bean oil with glycerol in laying hen diets and assess the change's effect on performance, parameters of egg quality and the egg fatty acid profile. A total of 60 44-week-old Hy-Line W36 laying hens were distributed according to a completely randomised experimental design into four treatments consisting of glycerol substitutions for soya bean ...

Commercial high-yielding corn hybrids have not been evaluated for their ability to pigment egg yolk. Therefore, the objective of this research was investigate effects commercial with different carotenoid profiles as only source pigments in diets hens on yolk color and content, well deposition efficiency into Treatment diets, differing one five hybrids, were offered a completely randomized desig...
