1. Certain rapeseed meals in the diet of hens laying brown eggs result in the production, from some birds, of eggs which have a “ fishy ” or “ crabby ” odour because of the presence of trimethylamine.
2. Such susceptible birds have been used to demonstrate that the activity can be extracted from rapeseed meal with appropriate solvents. 相似文献
1. The role of certain fish meals in the production of localised gizzard erosion is confirmed.
2. Lesions typical of gizzard erosion could be produced by the addition of histamine to the diet.
3. The amount of histamine occurring naturally in fish meal depends on the species of fish and the extent and nature of bacterial spoilage.
4. These variables may explain why histamine has not been implicated previously and also why there have not been consistent associations between the condition and geographical source or common factors in bulk consignments of the meal. 相似文献
