Silkworm oil was used in a rabbit diet to evaluate its benefit on the fatty acid (FA) profile of different carcass portions. Two experimental diets were prepared: a control diet (commercial diet with 13 g/kg sunflower oil) and a silkworm oil diet (SWO) (commercial diet with 13 g/kg silkworm oil). Rabbits received the experimental diets the last three weeks before slaughter, which occurred at 10 weeks of age. At slaughter, hind leg meat, liver, and perirenal fat were sampled for FA profile analysis. The SWO diet significantly increased the n-3 FA of all three sampling sites and halved the n-6/n-3 ratio of hind leg meat and perirenal fat. Furthermore, the liver of SWO rabbits was also richer in C22:6 n-3 compared to that of control rabbits. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that the total dietary replacement of sunflower oil with silkworm oil in fattening rabbits positively changed the FA profile of the considered carcass tissues.

The juice processing industry offers several benefits, including promoting health and wellness through the delivery of beverages rich in nutrients. Nonetheless, the industry encounters significant challenges regarding new technologies for processing and preservation given that they can be costly and labor-intensive. In this study, magnetic Janus silica (SiO) nanoparticle which offers multifunctionality and high stability was synthesized and subsequently immobilized with a protease mutant T70I (T70I@MSNs) to serve as a clarifying agent in juice.

This research examined the impact of chlorogenic acid (CGA) on laying performance, antioxidant capacity, egg quality, hepatic inflammation, mitochondrial function, and lipid metabolism in hens subjected to hydrogen peroxide (HO)-induced oxidative stress (OS). Three hundred sixty healthy 43-wk-old Hy-Line brown hens were randomly assigned to six treatments: a basal diet + 0 (control and HO), 600 (600 mg/kg CGA and 600 mg/kg CGA + HO), and 800 (800 mg/kg CGA and 800 mg/kg CGA + HO) mg/kg CGA for 84 d. On the 64th and 78th days of the trial, hens in groups HO, 600 mg/kg CGA + HO, and 800 mg/kg CGA + HO were injected intraperitoneally with 10% HO.

Lepidopteran insects are novel source of omega-3 fatty acids as revealed by the studies recently. In the current study, we assessed the effects of four different drying temperatures (50, 60, 70 and 80°C) of eri silkworm (Philosamia ricini) pupal oil (EPO) abbreviated as EPO50, 60, 70 and 80 followed by conducting the characterization and antibacterial efficacy studies. Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) were used for chemical profiling of EPOs.

The in ovo feeding (IOF) of L-arginine (L-Arg) to chick embryos is a viable method for improving early intestinal development, subsequently leading to an acceleration in growth rate during the posthatch stage. However, the liver, being the pivotal organ for energy metabolism in poultry, the precise effects and mechanisms of L-Arg on the liver development and metabolism remain unclear. To elucidate these, the present study injected 2 doses of L-Arg (10 mg/egg and 15 mg/egg) into the embryos of Hongyao chickens at 17.
