OCA15. Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc.The objective of this study was to characterize the distribution of serum proteins in laying hens reared under cage-free open farm conditions and to evaluate the changes in the concentrations of serum protein fractions throughout the 1-year laying period. Ten Dekalb White white-egg–laying hens were blood sampled from the wing vein at 17, 22, 29, 38, 50, 60, and 70 weeks of age. Egg laying was observed at 18 weeks of age. Five protein fractions were identified on the serum protein electrophoretogram of the hens, including albumin, α1-, α2-, β-, and γ-globulins. The size and shape of the fractions differed significantly according to the stage of the laying period. Significant changes were detected in the ratio of all individual protein fractions as well as in the concentrations of total proteins and protein fractions. The A/G ratios were higher before and at the beginning of the laying period, and the lowest values were obtained in weeks with the highest egg production. These findings suggest that the beginning of egg production is the most critical period in the laying cycle of hens reared under alternative farming conditions characterized by the most marked alterations in the serum protein profile.

OCA18. Characteristics of the output's impact on socio-economic practiceThe present study significantly expands the current knowledge in the field of serum protein fraction analysis in laying hens and has shown significant differences in serum protein composition in laying hens before the onset of lay and during lay. The results indicate significant developmental changes in serum protein structure with age and in relation to lay. Among these observed changes, changes in all monitored protein profile parameters deserve attention. These findings indicate that the onset of egg production is the most critical period in the laying cycle of hens kept in alternative housing conditions, characterized by the most pronounced changes in serum protein profile.
