The quality of eggs and the hatching traits of two slow-growing lines – La Belle (LB) and Bresse Gauloise (BB) reared under conventional or alternative system with pasture access were compared. The birds of both lines in the study were at the age of 27-37 weeks. Two-way ANOVA was used to assess the effect of the rearing system as well as the line on the quality characteristics of the eggs and h...

  The aims of the present study were to determine the best time for egg stripping after ovulation and to study oocyte over-ripening in the Caspian brown trout (Salmo trutta caspius). Eggs were retained in the female abdominal cavity for 40 days post ovulation (DPO). Partial volumes of eggs stripped from 10 individually identified females at 10 days intervals and fertilized with a pool of semen ...

abstract the various stages of embryonic growth pharaoh´s cuttlefish (sepia pharaonis) reside in oman until hatching was studied. gregor tours and the eggs collected for further study of the propagation of education, research center of the earth - chabahar moved .once every 24 hours to get detailed information was sampling of from fertilized eggs. egg size of 11±4 mm were selected because of th...

The hatching of Heterodera glycines eggs in soybean root exudates collected after postemergence application of three herbicides, and the hatching potential of H. glycines eggs from females feeding on herbicide-treated plants, were measured in vitro. Hatching in all root exudate solutions (RES) was greater than in deionized water but less than in 0.003 M ZnSO solution. Filtering RES with a 0.22-...

Twenty-five pesticides used in the production of rice and soybeans in Texas were tested in the laboratory to determine their toxicity to the eggs of Psorophora columbiae. A reduction in hatching rate occurred when eggs were treated with a herbicide formulation containing thiobencarb and with one containing a tank mixture of propanil and molinate. A carbaryl formulation induced hatching of eggs ...

This study was designed to gain insight into the influence of spraying and cooling, during artificial incubation, on the embryo metabolic rate and hatching ability of Muscovy duck eggs. Three times a week 93 incubated eggs were sprayed and cooled for 0.5 h at room temperature. Daily embryo metabolic rate was measured in 30 eggs with a water vapor conductance ranging from 1.15 to 2.07 mg/day-kPa...

The viability of Ochlerotatus albifasciatus (Macquart) eggs stored at room temperature and at 5oC was studied over 31 months. After 12, 18 and 31 months of storage, eggs were acclimatized at 22oC for ten days, and then inundated twice every seven days. The effect of the storage period on the percentage of hatching was analyzed by one way ANOVA. Differences on the hatching response between the f...
