Novel biodegradable and antibacterial edible films were fabricated by incorporating E-poly-l-lysine (EPL) into egg yolk granules, gelatin, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose matrices. With increasing EPL concentration (0.3-0.9 %), water vapor permeability decreased to 0.215 ± 0.005 g.mm/m.h.Kpa, while the water contact angle increased to 79.8°, enhancing transparency. X-ray diffraction, attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy revealed the uniform dispersion of the EPL in the matrix, likely due to enhanced intermolecular interaction. The 0.9 %-EPL film exhibited strong antimicrobial activity and biodegraded in soil within seven days. Additionally, chicken meat packaged with films was stored at 4 °C for 8 days. Results showed that the 0.9 %-EPL film significantly reduced the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, pH, and total viable count, thereby extending its shelf life. In summary, the EPL-enhanced egg yolk granules/gelatin/CMC edible film exhibits significant potential as an eco-friendly antimicrobial packaging material.

Laying hen responses to supplemental multiprotease on performance, egg quality, digestibility, gut histomorphology, nitrogen excretion, and economic performance of laying hens until 37 weeks of age were investigated. A total of 189 25-week-old Hy-Line Brown hens were housed in enriched cages (7 birds/cage) and randomly allocated to 1 of 3 diets with 9 replicates per treatment. Dietary treatments included: an adequate positive control- PC [met the breed and age standards for crude protein (CP) and amino acids (AA)]; negative control- NC (90 % CP and AA requirement); and NC supplemented with multiprotease - NCMP.

Vaccines are of great importance to green aquaculture. In this study, the polyvalent immunoprotective activities of protein, DNA and egg yolk antibody (IgY) vaccines of Vibrio fluvialis outer membrane protein VF08100 were assessed. Carassius auratus was immunized with these three vaccines and challenged with V.

240 64-week-old Lohman LSL-Lite laying hens were used to evaluate the effect of ahiflower seed (AS) and its press cake (APC) on egg yolk fatty acid profile, production performance, apparent total tract nutrient digestibility (ATTD), egg quality, eggshell mineral content, and fecal microbiota composition for 12 weeks in a completely randomized design, with 6 replicates of 5 birds in a cage. The diets included a control (CD), CD supplemented with 10 % flaxseed (FS), and CD supplemented with AS at 1, 5, and 10 % inclusion levels and APC at 5, 10, and 15 % inclusion levels. Diet did not affect eggshell Ca (P=0.

This study was aimed to investigate the effects of ozone (O) treatment during incubation period (IP) on hatchability, hatch window, chick quality and organ growth, bacterial load of feces and first-week growth performance in broilers. A total of 240 hatching eggs were weighed and randomly divided into control group (O-IP (-)) and O treatment (O-IP (+)). A commercial O generator was placed into the setter and O treatment (at the level of 0.
