Article Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate and confirm the properties of eggs produced by laying hens fed a diet consisting of pomegranate seed oil as a source of CLnA and flaxseed oil as a source of α-linolenic acid. The study involved determining the chemical composition of the eggs, including their fatty acid profile. The results showed that modifying the laying hens' feed composition resulted in eggs with high nutritional value, with a favorable change in their fatty acid profile. In most cases, the addition of linseed oil or pomegranate seed oil did not affect the physical and chemical properties of the eggs. However, the diet of laying hens had a positive effect on the fatty acid profile of the egg yolk. The presence of conjugated linolenic acid trienes in eggs produced by laying hens fed a modified diet makes them a potential source of these compounds for human consumption.

The decline in eggshell quality with increasing hen age may be related to changes in ultrastructure and chemical composition, with matrix proteins playing key roles in these changes. However, research on blue-shelled eggs remains limited. This study investigated the effects of hen age (35, 55, 75, and 85 weeks) on the physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of eggshells in the Xinyang blue-shelled laying hens, as well as their ultrastructural and nanostructural characteristics.

The ability for snakes to ingest large prey (macrostomy) is a widespread, derived trait that involves distending the skin during ingestion and metabolic upregulation during digestion. The material behavior of the skin must accommodate significant stretch associated with a large prey bolus, but data remain sparse for how the material properties of snake skin vary: longitudinally within an individual, after ingesting large prey and among species. To test whether these three factors affected the mechanical properties of snake skin, we quantified uniaxial stresses and strains in circumferential loops of skin from the neck, mid-body and tail of fasted and recently fed Boa constrictor.

Schistosomiasis is commonly managed using the praziquantel, but it is only effective against adult worms and duration of action is short. Liver fibrosis will worsen if eggs are still present after stopping treatment. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a sustained drug release system for effectively preventing and treating schistosomiasis.

Storage of shell eggs converts natural ovalbumin (N-OVA) into its more thermostable forms (S-OVA). This conversion may be associated with deterioration in the foaming properties of the stored shell egg. Thus, the foaming behavior of N-OVA and S-OVA, especially their performance at different pH conditions, was conducted.

Article Synopsis
- Enteritidis PT4 is a versatile bacteria that infects various hosts and is a leading cause of gastroenteritis, especially linked to consuming poultry products like chicken meat and eggs.
- The genome of Enteritidis PT4 strain 578 contains 165 virulence factor genes that aid in its ability to invade cells and survive within the host, including 12 pathogenicity islands crucial for its pathogenicity.
- Comparative analysis with other Enteritidis and Typhimurium strains highlights unique metabolic and structural differences, improving our understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms involved.
