    The effect of washing, oiling and holding on interior quality of chicken eggs was studied. Eggs were stored in an unairconditioned room of which temperature ranged 18.6-30.6°C for 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8 weeks.
    Haugh units and albumen height of eggs oiled after washing (NWS, NWD) were higher than those of unoiled, washed eggs (NWN). Eggs oiled after lay and washed (SWN, DWN) were higher in Haugh units and albumen height than eggs oiled after washing (NWS, NWD).
    In unoiled, unwashed eggs (NNN), a rapid increase in the pH of the albumen was observed during the 1st week of storage, and the pH values reached a peak at 8 weeks of storage. In unoiled, washed eggs (NWN), it reached a peak (9.1) at 3 weeks and decreased to 8.5 at 8 weeks of storage. Oiling of eggs after lay and followed washing or non-washing results in the decrease in the pH of the albumen.
    Oiling in the combination of washing of eggs usually reduces the incidence of rotten eggs at 8 weeks of storage, except the two types of treatments, i.e. washed and spray-oiled (NWS); dip-oiled, washed and dip-oiled again (DWD).

    Possibility of rotifera, Branchious plicatilis, which is a kind of zoo plankton in sea water, as a future feed souce for poultry was examined by bioassay of gross protein value, available energy, and phosphorus availability.
    Fresh rotifera contained 91% of moisture, and air-dried rotifera contained 57% of crude protein. Gross protein value of rotifera was 114 with supplementation of DL-methionine at the level of 1.2% of crude protein.
    Nitrogen-corrected metabolizable energy determined by analyses of diet and corresponding excreta was 3.16kcal/g of air-dry matter. Rotifera is rather rich in phosphorus and sodium, but low in calcium. Phosphorus availability was satisfactory, being 90.
    It is concluded that rotifera is hopeful as future feed source for poultry.

    The nitrogen sparing action of methionine and arginine supplementations to a protein-free diet were studied with colostomized adult cocks.
    Body weight loss of the cocks fed a protein-free diet was alleviated with methionine or arginine supplementation, but neither effect was significant. Faecal nitrogen showed comparable values and urinary nitrogen of the cocks fed the methionine supplemented diet was the lowest of the 3 groups. The nitrogen balance were, in the order of increasing, methionine supplemented, arginine supplemented and protein-free groups.
    Each of the major urinary nitrogenous compounds of cocks fed the methionine supplemented diet showed lower values than the corresponding values for the cocks fed a protein-free diet. From the result of faecal nitrogen and faecal amino acid analysis, there was no evidence that the re-utilization of endogenous nitrogen of the birds fed a protein-free diet was enhanced by the addition of methionine or arginine.

    Fowl spermatozoa and oviducal cell were incubated together at 41°C. The lifespan of spermatozoa decreased proportionately with the increase of distance between the cells and spermatozoa, and abnormal spermatozoa increased with the distance.

    Three types of single-banded electrophoretic pattern of the quail liver catalase were obtained. Bands in these types were designated F, M and S in the order of decreasing mobility towards the anode. It may be probable that the catalase patterns are conrolled by two alleles, CtF and CtS, at an autosomal locus. The M-banded pattern may represent that of heterozygous bird. Out of 231 quails examined 16, 120 and 95 were classified as Ct F, Ct M and Ct S, respectiveely.

    Species and numbers of flies emerged from waste of 4 Poultry farms in Yamaguchi prefecture were investigated, and resistant level of flies larvae (Musca dometica vicina and Muscina stablans) collected at various places in Yamaguchi prefecture to several insecticides were studied. The results are summarized as follows:
    1. Muscina stablans were most predominant in June, amouting to about 75% of the whole collected flies. No Musca dometica were among the flies.
    2. Four species of Fannia levcosticta, Sarcophaga peregrina, Ophyra levcostoma and Ptecticus tenebrifer amounted to about 90% of the whole collected flies in August. Sarcophaga peregrina and Ptecticus tenebrifer were characteristic species of August.
    3. Flies in October emerged about 1/10 of the whole collected flies in June or August.
    4. Resistant level of Musca dometica vicina larvae in Yamaguchi prefecture to several insecticides increased 30-110 times higher than that of the Takatsuki strain, and was inferior to that of the Misaki strain obtained higher resistant level.
    5. Resistant level of Muscina stablans larvae to sumithion was extremely inferior to Musco dometica vicina larvae.
