There is scant information about the reproductive process in broiler breeders, with which to develop a feeding strategy that will be economically optimal for these birds. This study aimed to model the egg production of a ...

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of dehydration temperatures by spray drying on the microbiological, physical, and chemical characteristics of egg powder and on the yield of the process. Dehydration ...

The aim of the present work was to characterize the egg production of Loxopagurus loxochelis. A total of 71 ovigerous females were obtained, 28% of which were simultaneously incubating eggs at different developmental stages. ...

This work aims to contribute more information on tinamou eggs by performing an exploratory and descriptive study of some of their nutritional and quality characteristics. The chemical composition of tinamou egg showed a ...

In oviparous species, physico-chemical characteristics of eggs are an indicator of maternal physiological traits and environmental conditions of the site where the females develop. In this study, we aim to (a) determine ...

The freshwater snails Pomacea Perry, 1810 lay conspicuous aerial egg clutches that are ignored by most predators. Egg biochemical defenses in the apple snail Pomacea canaliculata (Lamarck, 1822) are provided by multifunctional ...

Obligate avian brood parasites lay their eggs in nests of other host species, which assume all the costs of parental care for the foreign eggs and chicks. The most common defensive response to parasitism is the rejection ...

1. This study was conducted to evaluate the influence of diet composition on egg number,physical and chemical characteristics of eggs and weight and survival of chicks throughout a breeding season in a captive-bred population ...
