this experiment carried out to evaluate replacing effects of oyster shell (os) with filter cake (fc) of sugar beet industry on performance and quantity and quality of egg in  laying hens .in this trial the filter cake in two physical forms of powder and pellet in  five levels of 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% replaced for oyster shell. each treatment had 3 replications. the experiment lasted 3 periods...

the experiment was carried out in poultry experimental station belonging to nrc, cairo, egypt. a total of 120 fayoumi layers, 45 weeks old, were randomly divided into four equal groups. each group included three replicates (10 hens in each). the first group was fed the control diet containing 3.3% gram ca, whereas, the other three received diets containing 2.8, 2.6 and 2.4% gram ca, respectivel...

Currently, the egg industry is experiencing a shift in demand for eggs from cage-free environments. This study aims to evaluate quality parameters of white laid several different housing environments utilized industry. Egg battery cages, barren colony enriched cages and pens were compared. Overall, most found be across Battery produced heaviest with highest Haugh unit (p < 0.05). Cage-free h...

the present research was designed to examine the genetic analysis of egg weight, egg yolk weight and egg albumen weight of bovan neva black laying hens at 25, 51 and 72 weeks. for this purpose, thirty birds were selected from the layer flock in the babcock university teaching and research farm. they were individually housed in separate labeled battery cage. a total of thirty eggs were collected...

the present research was conducted to analyze the genetic structure of egg quality traits in japanese quail. external and internal egg quality traits were assessed on 1706 eggs of laying japanese quail. eggs were collected for 4 days at the quaits 10 weeks of age. the investigated traits were analyzed through univariate as well as multivariate animal models employing restricted maximum likeliho...

In a context of high productivity, eggs’ quality assessment is necessary for enhanced safety and quality assurance towards the consumers and feedback for producers. The quality assessment of eggs and egg products is performed using destructive and time-consuming methods, therefore the use of rapid tools becomes mandatory, especially in the case of a high production rate. Near Infrared (NIR) spe...
