[COLOR=333333]Good thank you![/COLOR]
[COLOR=333333]The first and secondary immune response and the mechanism of autoimmune diseases, and we began learning about transplantation. This in the 12th class (senior) in the 11th class the the regulation of the breathing mechanism in mammals. The influence of the Po2( oxygen pressure in the blood) and Pco2( co2 pressure in the blood ) PH ( acidity of the blood) on the function of the birthing center in the brain stem, and the role of Aortic and Caryatidic bodies in this regulation.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=333333]What do you teach????? I've got to do some google searching. I got most of it except for the birthing center (are you talking about the brain stem? and the aortic and caryatidic bodies. gotta look them up! Wondering if your terminology is a bit different than the basic Neuro 101 that we get here in the states. Gotta run, be back at end of the day.[/COLOR]
I teach Biology and it is the Breathing center in the brain stem and not birthing center!
Glad that breathing center is in the brain stem. Though a lot of birthing centers work on that breathing also. We call it LaMaze training!
OOOHHHHH Let's go there!!! Loved that article talking about the elevated CO2 levels and how they bring out the simultaneous thrusting action that gets the chick pushing out of the egg!!! God is so clever!
Born Feb 29? That would make you 30 years old???? Naaah...
What's the percent protein? How does the nutrients compare to a bag of multi-flock? How's the price compare? Can you get the same result by giving them some old frost bit meat from your freezer???
Sally, you got my interest. Love a good brain tweak. But, I think the speckles are not from blood synthesis, but from removal and recycling of old blood cells.ok since no one will bite on my post, I will talk to myself....
If eggs are speckled, typically the darkest spots are specifically located on the parts of the shell that are thinnest.
Also the thinner the shell, the darker the spots, now dont go running to take away the calcium just yet....
Oh yeah, that's right I am talking to myself right?.....Are we sure eggs colors come from genetics passed down from both parents, and yeah I know some say more from the Roo side. oh and then there is all that ear lobe stuff, check out this HERE. Anyways, an egg shell is made up mostly of calcium carbonate, and as its produced, goes through the hens oviduct, which consists of five parts, Infundibulum, Ampulla, Isthmus, Uterus and that there Vagina.
Now we should all know that a Marans hen sends out thick coatings of protoporphyrins, which are by-products of blood synthesis, deposited during the long hours passing in the uterius/egg duct and then finally in the BLUME stage, and those proto things, well they fill in thousands of spores in which create a dark beautiful egg, and in turn make the shell thicker. STOP WAIT WHUT????
NOW we can understand why there is a need to lower incubation humidity compared to commercial hatcheries.oh wait, I have more!
Ahhhh then comes the Blue egg
Did I ever tell you that I feed my Legbars extra treats to help with egg color? I wonder who will actually read all this.Blue pigment is in a league of its own, its called biliverdin/oocyanin (Bile pigment byproduct responsible for a greenish color yea us too, sometimes seen in our own bruises) so does this explain the cartotenoid filled treats I feed to my blue layers? Blue pigment is not just a coating it mixes with the calcium carbonate early in the process, so its that color all the way through and thats why we all cant see them when we candle unless we have a good bright light. So as I sit here and think, Speckled & Olives? When a brown coating overlays a blue egg shell, the egg appears green. If the brown coating is very dark, the egg appears olive, yea got that we add extra treats, we get pretty eggs and we already know the hen lays the prettier eggs at the front of the clutch than the rear, but unless we feed our chickens at the table that means nothing to us, just feed the extra treats to your colored layers. But does this really make any sense? when everyone is screaming genetics genetics... sure cause it all works together right?
But what of the speckles?
I think Benny could help with this. Something keeps stickin in my head. And these speckles are also by-products of blood synthesis, I will have to call onto my Benny............
Benny may or may not understand what I am getting at......
Benny, Zinc Chelate, other certain vitamins and fatty acid concentrations change yolk eggshell composition and/or leach into the eggs for consumption?
Me too... but then... I'm always looking for a treat.
Might be able to talk in Science. Ttyl!
