Background: Hen egg yolk is a common component of most semen cryopreservation extenders. However, diluents containing the egg yolk may have adverse effects on the quality of the semen. Egg yolk could be solubilized by the addition of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) in semen extenders. Many studies have shown beneficial effects of antioxidants addition to semen freezing extenders. Antioxidants are...

The study was conducted to determine the absorption of essential and non-essential trace minerals from poultry feed products. Poultry feed, liver, muscles, egg samples were collected six farms in Rawalpindi Islamabad. Mercury, Lead, Cadmium, Chromium, Iron analyzed using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrophotometer. Iron, Chromium exceeded permissible limits set by World Health...

Results In our cohort, 48% of patients were sensitized to egg white and yolk, while 52% were reacting to egg white exclusively. In allergen microarray, Gal d 1 and 2 were identified as major allergens for all patients, whereas Gal d 3-5 displayed high sensitization prevalence only in patients reacting to both egg components. Mean egg white-specific IgE was significantly higher in patients displ...

A study was conducted to develop non-dairy creamer analogs/mimics using egg white, yolk, soy protein, and their combinations, nutrient content, shelf-life, flavor acceptability were compared. The amounts of oleic linoleic acid content increased as the amount yolk in formula, but increases polyunsaturated fatty acids < 0.5% total fat. addition formula choline lutein products, 0.4 mg/g for 4 l...

In present study, two trials had been conducted to evaluate the effects of Spirulina platensis (SP) on growth performance, carcass characteristics, egg quantity and quality traits, and immunity response of Japanese quails. In trial 1, a total number of 180 one-day-old Japanese quails were randomly assigned into 6 groups, 3 replicates with 10 quail chicks per replicate. Experimental die...

Background Oxidative stress induced by cyclophosphamide (CP), as a chemotherapeutic agent, causes vulnerability of sperm and declining the fertility capacity. Then in this study the effect of crocin (saffron extract) on amelioration of these side effects was investigated. MaterialsAndMethods In this study 24 mice were divided in three groups (n=8). Control group received normal saline (0.2 ml/d...

Ovomacroglobulin and LDL fraction of egg yolk were effective to maintain the growth of established human cancer cell lines (Kato III, QG-90, Raji). A serum-free medium (BEM-841) containing 10 mM HEPES, 50 micrograms/ml of ovomacroglobulin, 0.1% (V/V) of LDL fraction of egg yolk, 10(-8) M catalase, 5 micrograms/ml of insulin, 5 micrograms/ml of transferrin, 5 ng/ml of selenium, 1 mg/ml of BSA, a...

in order to investigate the effect of diets contained urea and molasses on fattening performance and blood urea nitrogen (bun) density of male lambs, 72 arabic male lambs were used in a completely randomized design with a 3×4 factorial experiment, for 90 days. the experimental diets contained; 0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5% of urea each with 0, 7.5 and 15% of molasses, in isoprotein and isocalaric diets. t...
