   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Michelle Dahlman; [2020]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The purpose of this thesis was to test the mille-feuille nanofilter paper for a virus removal filtration from a potential protein-based nutraceutical. Therefore, chicken IgY was purified from egg yolk, with PEG precipitation for crude fractionation followed by thiophilic adsorption chromatography. READ MORE

3. 2. Identifying factors of importance for chick quality and traits that may predict chick quality

   Keywords : chick quality; chick quality score; first week mortality; broiler breeder; IgY yolk concentration; IgY serum concentration;

   Abstract : In the hatcheries today, the eggs that have cracks are sorted out before incubation. When hatched the chicks are graded as saleable or unsaleable, and salable chicks are transported to the farm. First week mortality (FWM) is a common way to assess chick quality and performance at the farm and it varies among flocks. READ MORE
