A influência dos pigmentos amarelo-laranja da semente de milho na coloração da gema de ovo de galinha

The effect of carotenoid pigments on the egg yolk color was studied in this paper. Three types of maize of known genetical constitution were used: Cateto, with deep orange endosperm; Armour, with yellow-orange endosperm and Cristal, with white endosperm. The carotenoid pigments of the two colored maizes were analysed: the total and both the active parts in relation to vitamin A and the zeaxanthin part showed to be practically double in the deep orange corn. The color of the yolk was orange when the ration had the deep orange corn and yellow in the case of the yellow-orange corn. The increase in shade was proportional to the amount of pigment present in the grains. If green feeds is added to the ration with white corn, the yolk becomes yellow or orange, depending on the amount of green given to the chickens. The practical importance of controlling the color of the yolk was emphasized

A influência dos pigmentos amarelo -laranja de vários alimentos na coloração da gema de ôvo de galinha

The effect of different feeds in comparison with that of maize grains on the egg yolk color was observed. It was found that deep orange and yellow orange maize give satisfactory coloration to the yolk, respectively orange and yellow. The most intense color was observed when green feed was used in combination with deep orange maize. Green feeds as chicory, alfafa, cabbage, welsh onion and banana leaves and alfafa or chicory meal proved to be good in giving orange color to the yolk. Yellow yolk was obtained when Guinea grass or carica fruit were used in the ration. Carrot and beet without leaves did not give satisfactory color to the egg yolk. The observations with other feeds are being continued

Estudos sôbre a coloração da gema de ôvo de galinhas - IV. Efeito da raça e da quantidade de milho amarelo na ração

This paper deals with experiments on the yolk color of chicken eggs. The results obtained can be summarized as follows: a) no differences were observed when different breeds (S. C. W. Leghorn and Rhode Island Red) were fed whith the same ration: yellow corn grains or green feed. b) 30% of yellow corn grain (orange or yellow) in the ration are sufficient to give satisfactory color to the yolk eggs

Milho: a Interação Y1 Y3 Y7 na coloração amarela do endosperma

This paper deals with the genetic interaction of Yl Y3 Y7 in producing yellow endosperm in maize. The new data presented are in accordance with preliminary notes on the same subject. The recessive yl, y3 and y7produce respectively green plants, albescent plants and white seedlings

Adubação do milho: estudo comparativo sobre a colocação da mistura de adubos nos sulcos de semeadura e em sulcos laterais ao sulco de semeadura

The results reported in this paper did not show statistical differences in production of seeds, number of plants and number of ears when corn fertilizer (combination of Chilean nitrate, superphosphate and potassium chloride) was applied either in the sowing furrow or in lateral furrows (one or both side). The treatments with fertilizer were better than the treatment without fertilizer used for comparisons. Cotton seed meal, used in combination with superphosphate and potassium chloride, placed in the sowing furrow, reduces statistically the number of plants in the row when compared with the treatments where applications were made only in lateral furrows. However, this reduction of plants did not affect significantly the number of ears and the production in the treatments

Observações sôbre a quantidade de milho amarelo necessária para prevenir a avita-minose a em pintos

The authors tried to check in this experiment the minimum of yellow corn necessary for preventing avitaminosis A in chickens. It was observed, in balanced ration with 50% of corn, that: a) 20% of dent and yellow grains and 30% of flint and white grains were insuficient to prevent avitaminosis A. b) 20% of flint and orange grains and 30% of flint and white grains or 40% of either colored grains and 10% of flint, and white grains did not show evident signs of avitaminosis A during the 12 weeks of the experiment. The ration containing 20% of flint and orange grains is pratically equivalent to the ration containing 40% of dent and yellow grains, regarding the content of pro-vitamina A. However, it was not possible to conclude if these dosage are sufficient to give the necessary vitamina A for normal development of the chickens since the table 3 seems to indicate a negative correlation between the amount of pigment in the ration and the mortality of the animals

Simulations of viscous shape relaxation in shuffled foam clusters

We simulate the shape relaxation of foam clusters and compare them with the time exponential expected for Newtonian fluid. Using two-dimensional Potts Model simulations, we artificially create holes in a foam cluster and shuffle it by applying shear strain cycles. We reproduce the experimentally observed time exponential relaxation of cavity shapes in the foam as a function of the number of strain steps. The cavity rounding up results from local rearrangement of bubbles, due to the conjunction of both a large applied strain and local bubble wall fluctuations
