Influence of different dietary oil sources on performance and fatty acid profile of egg yolk in laying hens
Journal Title: Journal of Animal and Feed Sciences - Year 2011, Vol 20, Issue 1
Abstract
Laying hens were fed diets containing sunflower, fish, linseed and rapeseed oil with 2 levels of inclusion (1.5 and 3.0%) for 12 weeks. Egg production, egg weight, feed intake, feed conversion and liveweight were not significantly affected by the treatments. Hens receiving sunflower oil produced less intensively coloured egg yolks than those received other oils in their diet (P<0.01). The fatty acid composition of the egg yolk was significantly (P<0.01) affected by the treatment, while cholesterol content was not influenced. There was a significant (P<0.05) interaction between fat source and the level of inclusion in the diet, linolenic acid content increased when hens were fed diet with 3% of linseed and rapeseed oil. Dietary fish oil significantly (P<0.01) increased the deposition of docosohexaenoic acid in the egg yolk. Sensory panelists scored as unacceptable those eggs from hens provided feed with 3% fish oil.

Peripheral ghrelin inhibits feed intake through hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis-dependent mechanism in chicken
It is known that centrally injected ghrelin is an anorexigenic peptide in chicken. Its activity is not mediated by NPY/AgRP - producing neurons but through the corticosterone releasing hormone (CRH) - expressing neurons...

Kisspeptin (kiss 1) network signaling of hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons
To regulate reproduction in mammals, internal and external status is communicated to the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis via a coordinated balance of stimulatory and inhibitory neurochemical systems. This review desc...
