Although the particulate fraction of egg yolk (yolk granules) has attracted the attention of investigators since Miescher (1) and Hoppe-Seyler (2)) reliable information concerning the distribution of the yolk constituents between its soluble phase and the granules is lacking. Separation of both phases is difficult, owing to the high viscosity of egg yolk. For this reason, all information concer...

Spatio-temporal models add complexity, but not necessarily value, to some climate analyses. To confirm the presence of spatio-temporal dependence, a hypothesis test should be conducted. The Space-Time Index is one statistic to detect such dependence; this statistic is simple, easily interpretable, and used in several disciplines. In an application to Indian monsoon precipitation thresholds, res...

Let I be a finite or infinite index set, let X be a topological space, and let Yi, φNi i∈I be a family of FC-spaces. For each i ∈ I, letAi : X → 2i be a set-valued mapping. Some new existence theorems of maximal elements for a set-valued mapping and a family of set-valued mappings involving a better admissible set-valuedmapping are established under noncompact setting of FC-spaces. Our results ...

background: to control avian coccidiosis with drug-independent strategy effec-tively and safely, multivalent hyperimmune egg yolk immunoglobulin (igy) was prepared and its ability to protect against eimeria tenella infection was evaluated. methods: hens were orally immunized with live oocysts of 5 species of eimeria for six times, antibody titers in serum and yolk were monitored by indirect enz...

In many oviparous animals, bursting type atresia of ovarian follicles occurs during the reproductive cycle, resulting in the escape of yolk into the extracellular compartment. In birds, this ectopic yolk is rapidly cleared by an unknown process that involves the appearance of yolk-engorged macrophage-like cells. To study this unique type of lipid transport, we injected young male chickens intra...

In this experiment, the effects of fennel and thyme extracts with and without flaxseed were investigated on performance and egg quality of Leghorn-type laying hens (Hy-Line W-36). 200 laying hens from 26 to 38 weeks of age were assigned to five dietary treatments with five replications. The treatment groups were: 1) Control (a diet without any additives); 2) control diet plus fennel (40 mg/kg f...
