Egg quality assessment at different storage conditions, seasons and laying hen strains

open access: yes, 2017
Eggs are one of nearly perfect protein foods, offering nutrients of great biological value. However, during storage, egg albumen and yolk components may alter and deteriorate egg quality. Therefore, the aim of this work was to assess egg quality during 9-

Cinobufagin Directly Targets PDE4D to Disrupt Fibroblast–Dendritic Cell Crosstalk in Atopic Dermatitis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐cell RNA sequencing revealed that MIF signaling drives inflammatory fibroblastmyeloid cell crosstalk in atopic dermatitis. Cinobufagin, a potent PDE4D inhibitor, suppresses MIF and reduces inflammation by restoring the cAMP/PKA/CREB pathway. Genetic knockout validates PDE4D as a key driver and promising therapeutic target for atopic dermatitis ...

Egg colouration in mountain bluebirds (Sialia currucoides): A sexually selected indicator of female quality? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
An adaptive explanation for the blue-green colouration of some avian eggshells has long interested researchers and naturalists alike. Unlike brown and maculated eggs that probably evolved through selection for crypsis, blue-green eggs would likely appear

The Effect of the Type of Alternative Housing System, Genotype and Age of Laying Hens on Egg Quality

open access: yes, 2018
The present study investigated the effect of the type of alternative housing system, and genotype and age of laying hens on physical traits of egg shell and contents.

Calhm6 Governs Macrophage Polarization Through Chp1‐Camk4‐Creb1 Axis and Ectosomal Delivery in Inflammatory Responses

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Calhm6 drives M2 macrophage polarization via the Chp1‐Camk4‐Creb1 axis, suppressing inflammation through calcium‐dependent ectosomal delivery. Calhm6 deficiency enhances M1 responses, boosting bactericidal activity but exacerbating tissue damage. LPS/IFNγ upregulate Calhm6 via Irf1, while IL‐4/Stat6 inhibits it, balancing immune outcomes.

The Successional Changes in the Gut Microbiome of Pasture-Raised Chickens Fed Soy-Containing and Soy-Free Diets

open access: yesFrontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2019
The succession of bacterial species as birds mature can impact their growth efficiency, health, and food safety due to the ability of a mature gastrointestinal microbial population to exclude opportunistic pathogenic bacteria from colonization. There has

A Study of Egg Quality on the Farm

open access: yesPoultry Science, 1951
Abstract THERE have been numerous studies on the handling of eggs on farms and on factors affecting the quality of eggs produced. According to Holst and Almquist (1931) and Van Wagenen and Hall (1936), the quality of eggs is influenced by inherited factors. It is, therefore, possible to breed for a strain producing higher quality eggs.

Polyhalogenated Carbazole Impairs Dopaminergic Neurons through Dysregulation of Liquid–Liquid Phase Separation in Caenorhabditis elegans

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Polyhalogenated carbazoles (PHCZ), persistent environmental contaminants, preferentially accumulate in neuronal tissues. Studies using Caenorhabditis elegans and human neuronal cell lines reveal that PHCZ induce dopaminergic neurodegeneration by promoting liquid–liquid phase separation of α‐synuclein, reducing condensate fluidity, impairing ...

Seasonal Variations in Egg Quality

open access: yesPoultry Science, 1936
Abstract FEW reports have appeared in the literature regarding the effect of the season or of the climate of the locality on the quality of fresh eggs, although it has generally been the experience of candlers and egg graders that summer eggs were poorer in quality than spring and winter eggs. Bennion and Warren (1933), reported that air temperatures

Interaction between housing system and genotype in relation to internal and external egg quality parameters.

open access: yes, 2018
The effect of three housing systems (conventional cages, enriched cages and litter) on egg qual - ity parameters was evaluated in two experiments with four brown laying strains ISA Brown, Hisex Brown, Bovans Brown and Moravia BSL.
