Protein of yolk is

  1. Casein and phosphovitin

  2. Lecithin and lipovitellin

  3. Phosphovitin and lipovitellin

  4. Casein and lecithin


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The different yolk's protein has distinct roles. Phosvitins are important in sequestering calcium, iron and other cations for the developing embryo. Phosvitins are one of the most phosphorylated (10%) proteins in nature, the high concentration of phosphate groups providing efficient metal-binding sites in clusters. Lipovitellins are involved in lipid and metal storage, and contain a heterogeneous mixture of about 16%  noncovalently bound lipid, most being phospholipid. Lipovitellin-1 contains two chains, LV1N and LV1C. Hence, option C is correct.

Carefully read the following information to answer the question -


An egg farmer is experimenting with different feed rations with the aim of increasing his production whilst reducing the cost of the feed per egg produced. The data from the two feeding experiments are given below.

Experiment 1

Protein concentration in feed (%) 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
Total vitamin level (mg/kg) 100 100 100 100 100 100 100
Cost of feed ration per 100 hens per day 6.00 7.00 7.50 8.00 8.50 8.75 9.00
Number of eggs per 100 hens per day 70 70 75 80 85 80 80

Experiment 2

Protein concentration in feed (%) 14 14 14 14 14 14 14
Total vitamin level (mg/kg) 50 75 100 125 150 175 200
cost of feed ration per 100 hens per day 8.00 8.25 8.50 8.75 9.00 9.25 9.50
Number of eggs per 100 hens per day 70 80 85 90 95 95 95


Which feed composition gives the least cost per egg produced?

  1. Protein concentration (%) - 16; Total vitamin level (mg/kg) - 100

  2. Protein concentration (%) - 14; Total vitamin level (mg/kg) - 50

  3. Protein concentration (%) - 14; Total vitamin level (mg/kg) - 100

  4. Protein concentration (%) - 14; Total vitamin level (mg/kg) - 150


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In Experiment 1-At protein concentration 16% vitamin level 100, the cost of feed is 9.00 and the number of egg produced is 80 per 100 hens

In experiment 2 - At protein concentration 14%, vitamin level 150, the cost of feed is 9.00 and the number of eggs produced is 95, an increase of 15 per 100 hens.
So, the correct answer is 'Protein concentration (%) - 14; Total vitamin level (mg/kg) - 150'

Read the following statements regarding poultry farm management.
(i) Poultry birds include chicken, ducks, turkey and geese.
(ii) Brooder house should be crowd-free, rain proof and protected from predators.
(iii) The most common egg-type variety used for commercial production throughout the world is single comb white leghorn and its various strains.
(iv) Approximately 14 to 16 hours of light including daylight are required for optimum egg production.
Which of the above statements are correct?

  1. (iii) and (iv)

  2. (i), (ii) and (iii)

  3. (i), (iii) and (iv)

  4. (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All the statements given above regarding poultry farm management are correct . Poultry farm includes chickens, ducks, turkey and geese. Brooder house are typically wooden movable structures heated enclosure by electric for raising baby poultry. It is crowd free , rainproof and protected against predators . This will led to higher rate of egg production.  The most common type of egg variety used for commercial production are comes from Leghorn which requires a photoperiod of 16 hours for optimum egg production . Reduction in photoperiod leads to reduce egg yield. 

So, the correct option is 'Option D' .

What are the independent variables in each of the two experiments?

  1. Experiment 1 - Maximum daily egg production; Experiment 2 - Maximum daily egg production

  2. Experiment 1 - Protein concentration in the feed; Experiment 2 - Total vitamin level in the feed

  3. Experiment 1 - Total vitamin level in the feed; Experiment 2 - Protein concentration in feed

  4. Experiment 1 - Cost of feed ration per egg produced; Experiment 2 -Cost of feed ration per egg produced


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In experiment 1 the protein concentration is controlled or changed. So as to check the effect on cost of feed ration and number of eggs produced. Therefore it an independent variable

In experiment 2 total vitamin level in the feed is controlled or changed. So as to check the effect on cost of feed ration and number of egg produced. Therefore it is an independent variable.
So, the correct answer is 'Experiment 1 - Protein concentration in the feed; Experiment 2 - Total vitamin level in the feed'

The chances of contracting bird flu from a properly cooked (above $100^0C$) chicken and egg are

  1. very high

  2. high

  3. moderate

  4. none.


Correct Option: D

The fresh egg can be distinguished from rotten by putting them in a bowl of water, how?

  1. Rotten egg will float but fresh does not

  2. Fresh egg float but rotten does not

  3. Rotten egg shell ruptured

  4. Fresh egg shell ruptured


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
The kept secrete in determining an Egg's freshness is to see if it sinks in water. If the Eggs shrink into the bottom and lay flat on their side, they are still
fresh. However, if they sink, but stand on one end at the bottom of the glass or bowl they are not as fresh but still edible. Floating is indeed a sign of less-than-fresh Eggs, but the size of the air pocket is determined by evaporation of moisture from the egg. Evaporation isn't desirable but it's not the same as spoilage. Thus of course if any Egg float to the top they shouldn't be eaten. The science behind this is based on the fact that Eggshells are semipermeable, which means air can get through.
Option A is correct.

Breeding in Fowl is done between :

  1. Six month old hen and cock.

  2. One year old hen and two year old cock.

  3. Two year old hen and one year old cock.

Eggs of chicken are incubated at

  1. 32$^o$C

  2. 45$^o$C

  3. 27$^o$C

  4. 38.9$^o$C


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Poultry farming is the method of rearing and maintaining poultry birds. In poultry farm, there is two type of birds called as broilers and layers. Layers are the egg laying birds with low meat content. Broilers are the birds reared for the meat. For the development of chicken, layers incubate their eggs at a specific temperature. The recommended temperature is 102$^o$ Fahrenheit (38.9$^o$C).

Explanation:

Eggs are a good source of protein and they contain all of the essential amino acids. 100 gram of egg contains approx. 13 gram of protein.

Which of the following poultry bird lays maximum number of eggs annually?

  1. ILS-82

  2. B-77

  3. HH-260

  4. IBL-80


Correct Option: C

In poultry industry, production of hatching eggs is more expensive than the production of market eggs mainly because

  1. Cost of males and their depreciation value is high.

  2. Mortality among females is usually lower when they are mated with males.

  3. Number of eggs produced by hatchery flock are to be sold only as market eggs.

  4. Some of the eggs produced by hatchery flocks are not acceptable for incubation.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In the poultry industry, production of hatching egg is more expensive because it requires optimum temperature fo incubation. But the major factor is the weight of the hatching egg and chick weight. Under optimal egg storage and incubation conditions, chick weight is 67-69 per cent of egg weight at setting. Therefore, the more uniform the egg weight, the more uniform the chick weight. Breeder uniformity determines uniformity in the hatching eggs produced; the more uniform the breeder flock, the more uniform the egg weights. Hence, some of the eggs produced by hatchery flocks are not acceptable for incubation and is rejected. So, the production of hatching eggs is more expensive than the production of market eggs.

Which of the following is the most infective type of bird flu?
