a seven-week trial was carried out to investigate the possibility of enriching eggs with vitamin e, inorganic and organic selenium added to the laying hen’s diet and lipid stability of enriched eggs during storage. seventy two hy-line w-36 hens were divided into six equal groups. each groups received one of the treatment diets which included control, 0.4 mg/ kg sodium selenite or selenium yeast...

BACKGROUND We have previously characterized several antihypertensive peptides in simulated digests of cooked eggs and showed blood pressure lowering property of fried whole egg digest. However, the long-term effects of this hydrolysate and its fractions on blood pressure are not known. Therefore, the objectives of the study were to determine the effects of long term administration of fried whol...

Heritability, environmentaland genetic correlations between body weight at hatch (BW0), eight (BW8) and twelve (BW12) weeksof age, body weight at sexual maturity (BWM), age at sexual maturity (AFE),the weight of the first egg laid by the hen (EWM), the mean egg weight from 28 to 32 wks (EW28-32) and egg numbers (ENs) were estimated by the restricted maximum likelihood method under an animal mod...

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...

in this study, the effects of dietary egg lecithin on digestive enzymes and body biochemical composition of juveniles mesopotamichthys sharpeyi was evaluated. four experimental diets including control diet (with 0% egg lecithin) and three diets containing 2%, 4% and 6% egg lecithin were used. at the end of the experiment, digestive enzymes activity (lipase, amylase and alkaline phosphatase) and...
