experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of egg yolk for coating and storing spermatozoa. ejaculates were collected from four rams. in each session, second ejaculates (n=4) were collected in a tube containing 1 ml coating buffers which were prepared by 10, 15 or 20% egg yolk plus tris-fructose. samples were pooled, centrifuged and the supernatant removed in the labora...

a total of 2000 records of egg quality of 746 birds and body weight data from 17th generation of fars native fowl breeding station were used to estimate the genetic parameters of egg quality and body weight traits. six univariate animal models with different random effects were fitted for each trait. a model with direct additive genetic and maternal permanent environmental effects was the most ...

Protein by-products from the extraction of lecithin from egg yolk can be converted into value-added products, such as bioactive hydrolysates and peptides that have potential health enhancing antioxidant, and antihypertensive properties. In this study, the antioxidant and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities of peptides isolated and purified from egg yolk protein were invest...

Experiments were conducted to evaluate the potential for dietary garlic to influence egg yolk cholesterol concentrations and overall performance in different layer strains. Thirty-six, 28-wk-old, Hisex Brown,Isa Brown, Lohmann, Starcross, Babcock, and Starcross-579 strains (six hens per strain) were fed diets supplemented with 0 (control), 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10% sun-dried garlic paste for 6 wk. The...

Egg-tempera painting is a pictorial technique widely used in the Middle Ages, although poorly studied its physico-chemical aspects until now. Here we show how NMR relaxometry and rheology can be combined to probe egg-tempera paints shed new light on their structure behavior. Based recipes of 15th century, model formulations with egg yolk green earth have been reproduced characterize physicochem...

Twenty-four, 79-wk-old White Leghorn hens were assigned randomly to three diets containing 0, 2.5, or 5.0% conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). The diets were fed for 4 wk to determine the effect of dietary CLA on quality characteristics of eggs. Eggs were collected daily and stored at 4 C for 1, 7, 21, or 49 d. At the designated times, the eggs were processed to evaluate water content, fatty acid c...

This trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of high-dose daidzein supplements on laying performance, egg quality and antioxidation in laying hens during the late laying period. Seven hundred sixty eight 55-wk-old Hyline Brown were randomly assigned to four groups with 8 replicates of 24 birds each (192 laying hens per group) and fed diets supplemented with 0 (control), 10mg/kg, 50mg/kg and...

Sodium bentonite can bind to dietary pigment and decreases yolk color scale. Sodium bentonite is one of the main parts of Formycine® Gold, the effect of different levels of Formycine® Gold and dietary pigment on egg quality, egg yolk color and performance criteria of laying hens from 26 to 34 week of age were studied. One hundred ninety two Hy-Line hens were divided into 24 groups of 8 birds ea...

This study aimed to analyze the effect of Alpinia purpurata K. Schum rhizome extract (APRE) supplementation into tris-egg yolk extender on sperm quality Bali bull after freezing. used experimental method with a completely randomized design (CRD), consisting five treatments, denoted as P0 (semen diluted using 100% Tris-Egg Yolk (TEY)), P1 98% TEY and 2% APRE), P2 96% + 4% P3 94% 6% P4 92% 8% APR...

Hormonally mediated maternal effects link maternal phenotype and environmental conditions to offspring phenotype. The production of lipid-rich maternal yolk precursors may provide a mechanism by which lipophilic steroid hormones can be transported to developing yolks, thus predicting a positive correlation between yolk precursors in mothers and androgen levels in eggs. Using rockhopper penguins...
