this study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary nigella sativa meal (nsm) on the growth performance, blood parameters, carcass characteristics, egg yolk cholesterol and meat quality in japanese quail. for this purpose 300 one-day old japanese quail chicks in a completely randomized design was used with five treatments in four replicates )containing 15 birds each(. the experimenta...

This study was conducted to determine the effects of rosehip (RS, Rosa canina L.) supplementation on performance, carcass traits, meat quality, serum antioxidant activity, egg yolk pigmentation and fatty acid composition laying quail. A total 120 10-week-old quail were divided into 5 treatment groups with 8 replicates. The treatments as follows: first group fed control diet (C, no addition), ot...

The influence of supplemental Met levels ranging from 413 to 556 mg per hen per d (mg/HD) on liquid egg component yield, composition, and functionality was examined in mature layers (29 wk of age). Egg weight, component yield, solids, and CP content of albumen and yolk were determined. Texture profile analysis, feed ingredient functionality testing, and PAGE were conducted to determine whether ...

  Six different diets including two rainbow trout starters, Gammarus dry powder, shrimp dry powder, egg yolk dry powder and newly hatched Artemia were used in feeding of Caspian Kutum larvae. During a 4-week trial, larvae with a mean weight of 17.5 ± 4.7 mg were fed with three replicates and growth parameters were measured at the end of the experiment. Thirty fish in each experimental unit with...

Turkeys from two BW groups (which averaged 11.8 and 12.9 kg, Normal and Heavy, respectively) were photostimulated at either 29 or 31 wk of age to determine what effects age-associated changes in hen carcass characteristics, egg weight, and egg components have on subsequent poult weight at hatching during the first 10 wk of production. Carcass measurements were determined from a subsample of hen...

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of different breeding systems (breeding on the ground and in the cage) on the egg production and egg characteristics of Rock Partridges. Egg production values of the ground and cage system groups were determined as 41.30 and 49.40%, respectively, and this difference was found to be significant (P < 0.05). The weight values of the eggs were 2...

A total 2400 hatching eggs were obtained from Japanese quails breeders ranged from 100 to 150 days of age used to analyze the effect of shell color on fertility, hatchability, embryonic mortality and malposition as well as internal and external egg quality. Results revealed that shell color had significant effect on fertility and scientific hatchability while it doesn't affect commercial hatcha...

The present study aimed at evaluating the effect of the dietary inclusion of organic trace minerals selenium and zinc on the performance and internal and external egg quality of Japanese quails submitted to heat stress. Data on egg production, feed conversion (kg feed intake/ kg eggs and dozen eggs), egg weight, egg specific gravity, eggshell thickness and weight, Haugh unit, yolk index, albume...

The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different dietary oil sources supplementation on laying hens' performance and fatty acids profile of egg yolks. Seventy-two 23-week-old laying hens (Tetra-SL) divided into six experimental diets (four replicates and three birds per replication) in a completely randomized design for nine weeks. Experimental diets were included: 1) control (no oi...
