Comparison of plant extract ‐derived nano‐zinc particles with different zinc sources and effects of different Zn sources on egg yield and quality traits
This study aimed to compare the zinc (Zn) nanoparticles obtained from plant extracts with different zinc sources and to reveal the effects of different Zn sources on growth performance, egg quality traits and blood serum parameters of laying quail. Treatment groups as follows: control and 3 and 6 mg/kg inorganic, organic, and plant extract-derived nano-Zn particles to quail diet supplementation. Animals were fed on experimental diets for 6 weeks. Different Zn sources supplemented into quail diets did not significantly affect live weights (P > 0.05). On the other hand, different Zn sources increased egg yields (P...

Cooling of alpaca spermatozoa using an extender with the addition of different percentages of seminal plasma
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the addition of different percentages of seminal plasma (SP) during the cooling at 5 °C of alpaca spermatozoa from vas deferens. Fifteen pools of sperm from vas deferens were evaluated and then divided into four aliquots that were diluted to a final concentration of 30 × 106 sperm/ml with either: (1) Tris with 20% egg yolk (T-EY) (control, 0% SP), (2) T-EY with 10% SP, (3) T-EY with 25% SP, and (4) T-EY with 50% SP. Samples were cooled at 5 °C and the following sperm parameters were evaluated after 24 and 48 h of storage: motility, viability, membrane function, a...

Incubation as a driver of maternal effects: Temperature influences levels of yolk maternally derived 5 α-dihydrotestosterone
Gen Comp Endocrinol. 2023 Dec 4:114420. doi: 10.1016/j.ygcen.2023.114420. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn birds, maternal hormones deposited into eggs in response to environmental stimuli can impact offspring phenotype. Although less studied, environmental conditions can also influence females' incubation behavior, which might play a role in regulating embryo exposure to maternal hormones through changes in incubation temperature that affect the activity of the enzymes responsible for converting testosterone (T) to 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) or estradiol. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the initial T content of the...

Growth kinetics of Bacillus cytotoxicus in liquid Egg yolk during treatment with phospholipase A < sub > 2 < /sub > - A one-step global dynamic analysis
Food Microbiol. 2024 Apr;118:104420. doi: 10.1016/j.fm.2023.104420. Epub 2023 Oct 31.ABSTRACTDuring commercial production of liquid egg yolk (LEY), phospholipase A2 (PLA2) is used to improve its emulsification capacity and thermal stability. The enzymatic treatment may occur at elevated temperatures such as 50 °C, potentially allowing foodborne pathogens, such as Bacillus cereus, to grow. Little knowledge is available concerning growth of B. cereus in LEY during PLA2 treatment. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the growth kinetics of B. cereus during PLA2 treatment using pathogenic B. cytotoxicus N...
