Egg-laying hens were immunized with the Echis carinatus venom and the resulting antibodies were extracted from egg yolk by four different purification methods. The chicken egg yolk antibodies were purified by the water dilution method, polyethylene glycol (PEG) and ammonium sulphate precipitation method, chloroform extraction and the Lithium sulphate precipitation method. These methods were com...

AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of commercial egg yolk powder as an alternative to fresh egg yolk on freezability of Murrah buffalo semen. MATERIALS AND METHODS Semen samples (12) from 3 Murrah buffaloes (4 from each bull) with mass motility (≥3+) and total motility (70% and above) were utilized in this study. Immediately after collection, each sample was divided into ...

Egg yolk is an essential ingredient for the preparation of a large variety of food emulsions. Thereby the emulsifying properties of egg yolk depend mainly on the physiological status of the two egg yolk fractions, granules (HDL) and plasma (LDL), which can be influenced by environmental conditions. Recent studies substantiate that a separate use of each fraction in innovative food products will...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate effects of different sources of natural pigments on yolk color and laying hen performance. a completely randomized design with six treatments and six replicates was used.the six experimental treatments were: a control diet containing yellow corn grain, a reference diet containing wheat and barley grain instead of corn; a red pepper diet composed of refe...
