Excellence Synergic Index (ESI) is a new method for the excellence measurement. This technique is a causal method. ESI method was developed for studying the relations and interaction of excellence criteria and organizational pathology. By “ESI”, it is possible to measure the performance excellence of any service enterprises, to diagnosis organizational pathos and to propose problem-solvin...

Variation in egg size and shape of the Hooded Crow Corvus corone cornix was investigated in the National Park “Ujœcie Warty”, western Poland, in 2000 and 2001. Mean clutch size was 4.55±0.79 (n=40). Coefficients of variation for clutch means ranged from 2.00±1.16 (breadth) to 3.35±1.76 (elongation index). Mean repeatability estimates were 0.69, 0.71, 0.73, and 0.62 for length, breadth, volume, ...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary supplement-ation of rosemary essential oils (REO) and zinc (as zinc sulfate) on performance, egg quality traits, and some serum biochemical metabolites of laying hens. A total of 144 44-weeks-old Lohmann LSL-Lite laying hens were randomly allocated into four treatments, each comprising six replicates of six birds. The first group was s...

The effects of L-carnitine supplementation (50-500 mg/kg diet) of a practical layer diet, based on maize, soyabean and wheat, on the performance of laying hens and some indices of egg quality were studied for 8 weeks, using 65-week-old hens kept in cages. Albumen quality (albumen height and Haugh (1937) unit score) was improved, while yolk index and yolk colour score were not affected by dietar...

AIM The present study was conducted to evaluate the performance of gray, brown, and white varieties of Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) with respect to body weight, egg production, and egg quality traits in the coastal climatic condition of Odisha. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 500-day-old straight run Japanese quail chicks of three varieties, viz., gray, brown, and white were r...

AIM The aim was to study the effect of supplementation of lysine producing microbes (LPM) as an in vivo source of lysine on performance and egg quality characters of post-peak layers. MATERIALS AND METHODS BIS (1992) specified diets (except crude protein [CP] and lysine) were prepared using either soybean meal (SBM) or groundnut extractions (GNE) or sunflower extractions (SFE) with 16 and 15%...

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...
