“…The effect of the laying period on weight, ratio, and color of the yolk was nonsignificant. Yolk weight found in the present study was lower than the value (75.4 g) reported by Adamski et al [27] for Biala Koludzka geese in the 3rd laying season and higher than the value (42.58 g) reported by Marzec et al [28] for 61-week-old White Koluda W11 geese. Biesiada-Drzazga et al [17] also reported that the effect of the laying period on yolk index was statistically nonsignificant.…”

IntroductionLivestock support in recent years has enabled the introduction of various goose breeds into the Turkish poultry sector. These mainly include two broiler breeds, the Emden and Toulouse, alongside one laying breed, the Chinese goose. Random crossbreeding has been realized especially between Chinese geese and domestic geese; thus, various goose breeds and eggs other than these breeds have also been introduced to the Turkish poultry sector and they have even been reared a little. One of these breeds is the Lindovskaya.The Lindovskaya breed constitutes the majority of the goose population in Russia and was obtained by crossbreeding the domestic breeds from the Nizhny Novgorod region of Russia and breeds from China, including the Adler, Solnechnogorsk, and Gorky. Their number accounts for more than 60% of the country's geese. Lindovskaya was registered as a breed in 1994. They are heavy-bodied birds, and their feathers are generally white. They have a cone-like bump referred to as a knop on their foreheads. This bump is larger in male adult geese than it is in females. A slight swelling or dewlap is seen on their necks. Their body is deep, wide, and long. The average live weight of an adult Lindovskaya goose is 6 to 7 kg; males tend to generally be heavier than females. Females are reported to lay 40 to 50 eggs per year [1] (https://yaroslavskaya.all.biz/en/lindovskiyes-geese).Goose eggs are generally used to obtain goslings and they may be eaten as well, albeit rarely. Thus, identifying the quality traits of eggs of geese in the flock is necessary in order to use them for goslings as well as a food source. Traits such as egg weight, form index, shell weight, shell thickness, shell ratio, surface area of egg shell, shell weight per unit surface area, and shell density are used to identify the external quality traits of the eggs. Dawson and Clark [2] reported that egg weight affected the vitality of goslings as well as their walking/swimming and growth performances in the first 2 weeks. Vargare et al. [3] determined the egg weight of Landes and Hungarian geese as 153.9 and 154.2 g, respectively. The internal quality traits of eggs are identified

“…Dudusola (2009) investigated that YI of freshly laid quail egg was 0.40 as similar as to the present study. It has been reported that the yolk index of quail eggs has been ranged between 0.46 to 0.6 (Marzec, Michalczuk, Damaziak, Mieszkowska, Lenart, & Niemiec, 2016). Kokoszynski, Bernacki, and Korytkowska (2007) reported that yolk index of Peking duck at the beginning of laying period was 0.41.…”

This study was conducted to compare external and internal quality attributes and some functional property parameters of eggs from five different poultry types/species namely, Sri Lankan village chicken & commercial chicken (Shaver brown), duck (Vigoa), quail (Japanese quail) and turkey (Turkey white). In addition, the impacts of cold storage (10 ºC), on commercial chicken eggs and Sri Lankan village chicken eggs, over a period of three weeks were evaluated. Yolk color, shape index, egg weigh and shell thickness values of the freshly laid eggs were significantly difference among the four species (P < 0.05). Yolk color of the village chicken egg was 7.30 which is significantly higher (P < 0.05) than that of other species. Quail egg had the highest (P < 0.05) shape index value (80.90±0.01) and the lowest egg weight (9.47±5.64 g). Whereas, turkey egg had the lowest (P < 0.05) shape index value (69.20±0.02) and the highest egg weight (71.48±5.21 g). Village chicken eggs and quail eggs had significantly lower (P < 0.05) eggshell thickness than that of other poultry species. The lowest eggshell thickness (0.008±0.00 mm) was shown by quail eggs. Duck egg white had the highest (P < 0.05) viscosity and foam stability whereas, commercial egg had the lowest viscosity. Further, internal quality and functional quality traits from Sri Lankan village chicken eggs and Shaver brown eggs were decreased with the increasing storage period (3 weeks) at 10 ºC. Quail egg has the highest shape index and duck egg white has the highest viscosity and foam stability. Some of the egg quality traits are significantly affected by type/species of the bird and the storage time.

“…These authors [7][8] have demonstrated that pattern and thickness of the fibers, as well as the presence of additional structures serving, inter alia, toward the consistency of IL and OL, differ among different species. The differences observed in the strength of VM in different poultry species also suggest different structures that form the membrane [14]. All the previously studied species belong to the precocial group, in which the offsprings are partially independent at clutching, that is, they are covered with down and move and feed themselves but are dependent on parental care.…”

Characterization of structure and protein of vitelline membranes of precocial (ring-necked pheasant, gray partridge) and superaltricial (cockatiel parrot, domestic pigeon) birds

Of all the known oviparous taxa, female birds lay the most diverse types of eggs that differ in terms of shape, shell pigmentation, and shell structure. The pigmentation of the shell, the weight of the egg, and the composition of the yolk correlate with environmental conditions and the needs of the developing embryos. In this study, we analyzed the structure and protein composition of the vitelline membrane (VM) of ring-necked pheasant, gray partridge, cockatiel parrot, and domestic pigeon eggs. We found that the VM structure is characteristic of each species and varies depending on whether the species is precocial (ring-necked pheasant and gray partridge) or superaltrical (cockatiel parrot and domestic pigeon). We hypothesize that a multilayer structure of VM is necessary to counteract the aging process of the egg. The multilayer structure of VM is only found in species with a large number of eggs in one clutch and is characterized by a long incubation period. An interesting discovery of this study is the three-layered VM of pheasant and partridge eggs. This shows that the formation of individual layers of VM in specific sections of the hen's reproductive system is not confirmed in other species. The number of protein fractions varied between 19 and 23, with a molecular weight ranging from 15 to 250 kDa, depending on the species. The number of proteins identified in the VM of the study birds' eggs is as follows: chicken-14, ring-necked pheasant-7, gray partridge-10, cockatiel parrot-6, and domestic pigeon-23. The highest number of species-specific proteins (21) was detected in the VM of domestic pigeon. This study is the first to present the structure and protein composition in the VM of ringnecked pheasant, gray partridge, cockatiel parrot, and domestic pigeon eggs. In addition, we analyzed the relationship between the hatching specification of birds and the structure of the VM.
