Worm infections caused by Soil Transmitted Helminth (STH) in Indonesia cause diarrhea, malnutrition, and malaise. One of the epidemiology STH occurs through soil or fertilizer contaminated with vegetables. Therefore, it is necessary to examine identify vegetables, especially cabbage basil. The purpose this study was determine eggs vegetables from (Brassica oleracea) basil (Ocimum basilicum) tak...

The present study aimed to determine the effects of different storage materials and storage period on some hatchability traits of Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) eggs. A total of 32 male and 102 female quail (twelve weeks of ages) were housed in multiple-bird cages. Eggs laid were divided into three groups with respect to the period of storage (I = 1, 2 and 3 days, II = 6, 7 and 8 d...

A hitherto largely unresolved problem in behavioral biology is how workers are prevented from reproducing in large insect societies with high relatedness. Signals of the queen are assumed to inform the nestmates about her presence in the colony, which leads to indirect fitness benefits for workers. In the ant Camponotus floridanus, we found such a signal located on queen-laid eggs. In groups of...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of environmental factor such as month and season on the hatching features of ducks, and to determine the suitable months or season for hatching. For this purpose, the hatching records of different duck breeds raised in ElSerw water fowl farm belonging to Turkey and Water Fowl Breeding Research Department, Animal Production Research Institute, fro...

6 In this study, a non-destructive, rapid and accurate method was developed based on 7 hyperspectral imaging technology to determine the fertility and early embryo development of 8 eggs. A total of 170 white-shell chicken eggs including 152 fertile eggs and 18 infertile eggs 9 were used in this study and all eggs were incubated in a commercial incubator for 4 days. A 10 transmission-based hyper...

The effects of incubation on fertile and infertile eggs were examined. The examination included chemical, bacteriological, physical and organoleptic tests for changes which had taken place. Isovaleric acid was identified in all incubated eggs and also in certain fresh eggs. Additional unidentified compounds were detected in the incubated samples. Upon storage at 1 “C, it was observed that the l...

Individual female Drosophila melanogaster were maintained without yeast for up to 18 days. Some of the females did not lay any eggs during this holding period. The females produce mature oocytes (stage 14) by day 3 and from day 5 onward the females each held about 60 mature oocytes. The nulliparous females were mated and its was shown that the first egg produced by females held up to 18 days be...
