“…In this study average egg length and width was found as 49.47 and 37.89 mm, respectively. The egg length and width values in this study were similar to that found in studies carried out by Tebesi et al [28] ; Singh et al [25] and Song et al [31] . The egg weight showed significant and positive correlation with egg length and egg width, and the values of correlations was determines as 0.569 and 0.859 for egg length and egg width, respectively.…”

“…Also, eggshell ratio was ranged from 0.09 to 0.20% and average eggshell ratio was determined as 16%. The average eggshell ratio determined in this study was similar to that found in studies carried out by Nowaczewski et al [30] but, was found higher than those of reported by Tebesi et al [28] and Song et al [31] .…”

“…Also, average eggshell thickness was found higher at sharp region (0.55mm) and lower at the blunt region (0.53mm) implying that mineralizion was higher at sharp region. The finding on eggshell thickness was in disagrement with Song et al [31] , Dudusola [29] ; Tebesi et al [28] and Nowaczewski et al [30] and the average eggshell value in this study was higher than the reported by these authors. The egg weight has an indirect relation with the shell quality of the egg.…”

“…The average egg weight determined in this study was similar to that found in studies carried out by Oke et al [23,24] ; Singh et al [25] ; Nahashon et al [26,27] . But, the egg weight was found lower than those of reported by Tebesi et al [28] ; Dudusola [29] ; GALİÇ, KARABAĞ Nowaczewski et al [30] ; Song et al [31] whereas was found higher than those reported by Obike et al [32] . The difference between the egg weights reported in the various studies, it might be due to variations in strain, stocking density, seasonal factors, feeding system and age of birds Nagarajan et al [33] ; Tanabe and Ogawa [34] .…”

Values of egg weight, egg length, egg width, eggshape index, eggshell weight, eggshell ratio, eggshell thickness, eggshell surface area, unit surface area and egg volume were determined as 40.14 g, 49.47 mm, 37.89 mm, 0.76%, 6.48 g, 16%, 0.54 mm, 65.69 cm 2 , 0.11 g/cm 2 and 38.21 cm 3 , respectively. In addition, values of yolk weight, yolk height, yolk width, yolk index, yolk ratio, albumen height, albumen width, albumen length, albumen weight, albumen index, yolk/albumen ratio and haugh unit were found as 13.58 g, 14.99 mm, 40.64 mm, 37%, 33%, 4.77 mm, 62.97 mm, 80.07 mm, 21.62 g, 6.7%, 68% and 74.97%, respectively. According to the results determined in this study, all most all external quality traits of the egg were changed at the significant levels depending on the change occurred in the egg weight. The results indicated that egg weight influences external egg quality traits of quinea fowl. The positive correlations obtained among the egg quality traits indicated that they can be improved phenotypically through selection.

Bu amaçla toplam 100 adet Beç tavuğu yumurtası kullanılmıştır. Araştırma Akdeniz Üniversitesi Ziraat Fakültesi Zootekni Bölümü Hayvancılık Birimi'inde yürütülmüştür. Yumurta ağırlığı, yumurta uzunluğu, yumurta eni, şekil indeksi, kabuk ağırlığı, kabuk oranı, kabuk kalınlığı, kabuk yüzey alanı, birim yüzey alanı ve yumurta hacmi sırasıyla 40.14 g, 49.47 mm, 37.89 mm, %0.76, 6.48 g, %16, 0.54 mm, 65.69 cm 2 , 0.11 g/cm 2 ve 38.21 cm 3 olarak bulunmuştur. Ayrıca, sarı ağırlığı, sarı yüksekliği, sarı genişliği, sarı indeksi, sarı oranı, ak yüksekliği, ak genişliği, ak uzunluğu, ak ağırlığı, ak indeksi, sarı/ak oranı ve haugh birimi de sırasıyla 13.58 g, 14.99 mm, 40.64 mm, %37, %33, 4.77 mm, 62.97 mm, 80.07 mm, 21.62 g, %6.7, %68 ve %74.97 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Yumurta ağırlığındaki değişmeye bağlı olarak yumurtanın dış kalite özellikleri önemli derecede değişmiş ve yumurta ağırlığı dış kalite özelliklerini etkilemiştir. Yumurta kalite özellikleri arasında ortaya çıkan önemli korelasyonlar bu özelliklerin fenotipik olarak seleksiyonla iyileştirilebileceğini göstermiştir.

“…Chicken egg has been very well studied for its quality as well as for its composition; however such information is not so abundantly documented in other poultry species (Dudusola, 2010). Among many quality characteristics, external factors such as cleanliness, freshness, egg weight and shell quality are important for consumer´s acceptability of shell eggs, and interior characteristics such as yolk index, albumen index, proportions of egg components and chemical composition are also important for egg production industry (Song, 2000). Information on egg quality characteristics has been limited mostly to chicken eggs.…”

Determining Some Exterior and Interior Quality Traits of Japanese Quail Eggs (Coturnix japonica)

2012

The aim of this research was to determine some exterior and interior quality traits of Japanese quail eggs. A total of 60 Japanese quail eggs were collected from two different farms near Novi Sad, and the eggs quality traits were tested in the laboratory of poultry science at the Department of Animal Science of the Faculty of Agriculture in Novi Sad. The egg weight, albumen weight, yolk weight, shell weight, shell breaking force, shell thickness, albumen height and egg yolk colour were determined. The external and internal egg quality traits of quail eggs from two farms in Serbia do not differ from the results of quality traits from other countries.

To uncover a diversity of genetic and biological unknowns, a comprehensive and comparative proteomic analysis is performed on egg albumen of domestic chicken, duck, goose, turkey, quail, and pigeon with tandem mass tags quantification technology. In this study, a total of 148, 138, 150, 162, 183, and 179 proteins are identified in egg albumen of the above six species, respectively. Venn plots, PCA, and cluster analysis all reveal the highest similarity of protein composition between duck and goose (≈75%). Additionally, the six species have 52 proteins detected in common in the egg albumen. As revealed by GO and pathway analyses, the plausible functions of these highly conserved proteins are to provide a secure environment and prevent the early death of embryonic cells. Species-specific proteins such as haptoglobin in pigeon, serpin-like protein HMSD in duck, and ovodefensin in chicken are also screened and are likely associated with species-dependent biological processes. Furthermore, Enzyme Code analysis indicated egg albumen have abundant enzyme activity, with hydrolases accounting for more than half of the total enzymes. This study is the first to provide the proteome profiles of egg albumen for the major poultry species, which will be instructive for the understanding of species-specific biological problems with egg albumen.
