Background: This study was conducted to examine the development of the embryo during incubation and the composition, amount and consumption of the egg nutrients among Chukars (Alectoris chukar). Methods: A total of 1210 eggs were carefully separated into their components (albumen, yolk, shell, amniotic-allantoic fluid and embryo) on day 0 (fresh), in the first (day 7), second (day 14) and third (day 21) weeks of incubation and on the hatching date. The moisture, crude protein, crude fat, carbohydrate, crude ash and energy level were determined in egg components. Result: The albumen, yolk, shell, fluid and embryo rates were calculated to be 53.62, 34.84, 11.53, 0.0 and 0.0% in fresh egg, 16.74, 33.49, 16.22, 31.76 and 2.06% in the first week of incubation, 15.65, 28.32, 15.58, 23.35 and 17.10% in the second week of incubation and 0.0, 23.33, 19.38, 0.0 and 57.29% in the third week of incubation, respectively. The hatching weight of the chick was 16.16 g. The nutrients of the yolk, albumen, fluid and shell proportionally varied significantly in different periods of incubation. According to the nutrient changes calculated based on the weight differences of egg components, carbohydrates were mostly used for nutrients during incubation. It was found that even though the nutrients in all the egg components were used in the different periods of incubation, egg yolk was an important source for the embryo throughout the incubation period.

Chicken Eggs

Chicken eggs, along with cow milk, are the most important source of proteins and other valuable nutrients that are introduced to a baby`s diet. Certain components of eggs, besides nutritional, also have other biological functions. Both proteins, phospholipids or carotenoids, are bioactive components which affect the physiological processes in the human body. Regular consumption of chicken eggs rich in substances with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and antioxidant properties may contribute to reducing the incidence of certain lifestyle diseases. Ovomucoid, as a glycoprotein which inhibits bacterial protease, is a component of eggs with bactericidal properties. Similarly, the ovotransferrin protein has a bacteriostatic effect on the Escherichia coli strain or Streptococcus mutans. Due to the strong antioxidant properties, phospholipids, vitamin E and folic acid are extremely valuable egg components. It is believed that the high antioxidant potential of these compounds is important in preventing the development of atherosclerosis and other metabolic syndromes. It is also worth mentioning lutein and zeaxanthin, which are dyes that form a protective barrier against the degeneration of the macula of the human eye. An extremely important function for the human immune system is also met by lysozyme, which stimulates the synthesis of interferon, stimulating the immune response. Unfortunately, hypersensitivity to chicken eggs is one of the most common food allergies in children and affects 0.5-9% of the population. The major egg allergens (Gallus spp.): ovomucoid (Gal d 1), ovalbumin (Gal d 2), conalbumin (Gal d 3) and lysozyme (Gal d 4) are present in egg white and most often cause allergic reactions in children. Minor allergens: serum albumin (Gal d 5) and YGP42 protein (Gal d 6) are found in the egg yolk and are more likely to sensitize adults.

The article describes the nutritional quality and chemical composition of a variety of herbage mixtures versus on the sowing time and constituents in the arid steppe zone of Kazakhstan. The biennium average data for the study years are given. The second and third decades of May were chosen as the sowing date. Three types of herbage mixtures were investigated in two sowing periods: 1. barley, peas, Sudan grass, hybrid of sorghum-Sudan grass, rapeseed; 2. barley, peas, Sudanese grass, hybrid of sorghum-Sudan grass, barnyard millet; 3. barley, peas, hybrid sorghum-Sudan grass, African millet. In the course of the sowing period, the content of crude protein in the herbage mixtures in the third decade of May was as high as in nitrogen-free extracts (NFE). Depending on the components of the herbage mixtures, the highest indicator of crude protein in the mixture of African millet was 2.87% and 2.74%. NFE in the herbage mixture of cockspur was higher by 0.07-0.16% than in the control variant (herbage mixture with rapeseed). Periods of emergence and germination of grain varieties in the composition of herbage mixtures coincided with the July precipitation, expressed by good leaf coverage, high content of crude protein, carotene, NFE compared to the control variant. The optimum sowing life, in terms of nutritional quality, chemical composition of herbage mixtures with African millet and barnyard millet in the dry steppe zone of Kazakhstan, was the third decade of May.

Spirulina platensis, which cyanobacteria, is a crucial functional food additive. Spirulina platensis which is a photosynthetic microalgae, contains high crude protein content (62-70%) as well as precious metabolites. These proteins are mainly composed of essential amino acids. In line with the manufacture's demands, poultry producers use to natural, functional additives rather than synthetic additives. Studies on poultry have shown that Spirulina is a natural and functional nutrient. It was determined that Spirulina supports growth and development, increases fertility, improves carcase colour and egg yolk colour score, provides resistance to animal against diseases, and improves product quality. In this study were presented, the nutritional values of the microalgae species Spirulina were explained and the usability of the past and current sources and poultry rations. The basis for application as a poultry (broiler and laying hens) feed supplement is discussed.

Mothers can shape the developmental trajectory of their offspring through the transmission of resources such as hormones, antioxidants or immunoglobulins. Over the last two decades, an abundant literature on maternal effects in birds has shown that several of these compounds (i.e. androgens, glucocorticoids and antioxidants) often influence the same offspring phenotypic traits (i.e. growth, immunity or oxidative stress levels), making interaction effects between egg components a likely scenario. However, the potential interactive effects of maternally transmitted compounds on offspring development and potential co-adjustment of these compounds within an egg are still poorly understood. Here, we report the results of an interspecific comparative analysis on birds' egg yolk composition (i.e. androgens and antioxidants) where we found that yolk carotenoid and vitamin E concentrations are positively associated, supporting the hypothesis that these two antioxidants act in synergy. The concentrations of vitamin E also increased with increasing concentrations of testosterone. This last result confirms the emerging idea that androgens and antioxidants are co-adjusted within eggs and that maternally transmitted antioxidants might limit the potential direct and indirect effects of prenatal exposure to high testosterone levels on oxidative stress.

The aim of our study was to evaluate the nutritional value of the breast and thigh muscle of chukar partridge (Alectoris chukar) under intensive fattening conditions. Commercial feeding mixtures for broilers were used. Live weight of 60 partridges (birds were not sexed) was controlled during 90 days of fattening. After the fattening was finished, 30 birds were selected to monitor the carcass yield. Breast and thigh muscle were used for chemical analysis of crude protein (Kjeldahl method), total lipids (fat analyser ANKOMXT10), ash (Muffle furnace - 550° C) and gross energy (calorimetry). Average values ​​of live weight were increasing in the course of fattening; at the end of fattening the live weight reached 0.452 kg. The carcass yield, breast muscle yield and thigh yield were evaluated (73.72%, 18.09%, 20.80%, respectively). Chemical analysis showed a highly significant difference (P ≤ 0.01) between the breast and thigh muscle for crude protein, fat, ash and gross energy. The ash content demonstrated a significant difference (P ≤ 0.05) between the breast and thigh muscle. This study brings new data on the nutritional value of the meat of chukar partridge that can be used for reccomendation of a suitable feeding mixture.

Coccidiosis is a disease that limits the production and marketing of gallinaceous birds in North America, especially quails, pheasants and chukar partridges. Virtually no research has been conducted in South America on the causative agents of diseases among these birds, including coccidia. The aim of this work was to make first observations on Eimeria spp. in the chukar partridge Alectoris chukar and the grey quail Coturnix coturnix, which are reared for meat in Brazil. Fecal and tissue samples were collected from commercial farms and were examined for oocysts, gross and microscopic lesions or endogenous stages. From this examination, it was found that partridges raised in Brazil did not have any visible infection. However, grey quails presented mild infection and two Eimeria species that had previously been described in other birds were identified.

Fertilizer trials with spring wheat and barley were conducted at a total of seven and nine locations, respectively, during a three-year period. Treatments consisted of three rates of N, of P and of K in all possible combinations. Although the soils varied in their chemical properties, grain yields increased with the second increment of N in some years and the crude protein content of the grain increased with the third increment in all years. Grain yields were not increased by the second increment of either P or K. Although the effects of increasing rates of N, P and K on the levels of these nutrients in plant tissue were predominantly linear, increases in N levels were of much greater magnitude than increases in either P or K levels. The results indicate that N, P and K at approximately 135, 39 and 37 kg/ha, respectively, should be generally adequate.
