This study was conducted to evaluate the semen quality of Hac Phong chickens raised at the Faculty of Animal Science, Vietnam National University of Agriculture. In the first experiment, a total of 30 semen samples from 6 Hac Phong roosters were collected in two frequencies, i.e., every day and every three days. Semen characteristics included semen volume, sperm concentration, motility, and abnormal sperm percentage. In the second experiment, rooster semen wasstored in two different media A and B at 5C. Studied parameters were tested after 8 and 24 hours of storage. The results showed that semen volume, sperm concentration, and sperm motility were higher if semen was collected every three days (P <0.05). The percentage of morphologically abnormal spermatozoa was higher if semen was collected every day (P <0.05), however, other criteria did not differ (P >0.05). When rooster semen waspreserved at 5C, the motility rate decreased from 65.38%at 8 hours to 49.84% after 24 hours of storage in medium A and from66.64%at 8 hours to 52.02% after 24 hours of storage in medium B. There was no difference in semen quality between the two media A and B (P >0.05). In both extenders, when the duration of storage was extended from 8 to 24 hours, the sperm motility decreased (P <0.05).

eAn experiment was conducted to evaluate several factors affecting the hatchability of Luong Phuong’ eggs on the multi-period incubator in a completely randomized design. The results showed that prolonged egg storage time reduced the rate of embryonated eggs and hatchability but increased embryonated egg mortality. The relationship between egg storage time and embryonated egg rate was strong inversely correlated (r = -0,919; P<0,05). Spawning time during a day affected hatchability. The percentage of embryonated eggs and hatching rate reached the lowest in the egg plots laid before 7am. The highest rate was recored in the egg plots laid from 11am to 13 pm (P<0,05). There was no significant difference in the remaining spawning times. The age of hens also affected hatching parameters (P<0,05). The highest quantity and proportion of embryonated eggs were obtained in laying hen aged between 32-34 weeks. The percentage of hatched/embryonated eggs was lower at 27 weeks of age compared to that of 33-36 weeks of age (P<0,05). The highest hatchability was recorded in eggs weighing from 52-56g. Eggs having shape index in the range from 1.31 to 1.35 had higher hatchability than others (P<0.05). Egg disinfection by formaldehyde showed better hatchability compared to that disinfected by nebutol (P<0,05).

The present study was aimed to enhance the antimicrobial activity of Pec-Alg film-forming solution. Nanobubbles (NBs), cinnamon essential oil (Cinna) and chlorine (Chlo) were three potential substances added to Pec-Alg solutions. The microbial inhibitory effect was evaluated in vitro, and the Pec-Alg solutions were directly applied to passion fruits to evaluate the antimicrobial effect, the rate of disease transmission during storage, and the quality changes of passion fruit through physiological, mechanical and biochemical parameters. The results showed that the solutions of Pec-Alg supplemented with NBs or Cinna or Chlo all had high inhibitory effect in vitro conditions with 86.7%, 74.1% and 93.6%, respectively. Moreover, they had a positive inhibitory effect on microorganisms on passion fruits in the following order: Pec-Alg-Chlo > Pec-Alg-NBs > Pec-Alg-Cinna, of which Pec-Alg-Chlo solution had the highest inhibitory effect, reaching 84.4% at 1 hour after coating and 43.6% after 30 days of storage.They were also significantly effective to limit the rate of disease transmission during storage, contributing to prolong the shelf life of passion fruits up to 33 days, which means an increase of 15 days compared to the control and an increase of 9 days compared to Pec-Alg coating without addition ofany antimicrobial agents.
