A. Şekeroğlu, H. Gök, and M. Duman. 2016. Effects of egg shell color and storage duration on the external and internal egg quality traits. Cien. Inv. Agr. 43(2):327-335. The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of storage duration and egg shell color on external and internal egg quality traits. Eggs were obtained from 29-week--old ATAK-S layer hybrids reared in a traditional cage system. Storage durations were set as 0, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days. Shell color was classified as dark (59.00-67.99); moderate (68.00-70.99) and light (71.00-79.99) using the ∆E values of the eggs. The storage duration significantly affected the egg weight (P≤0.01), specific gravity (P≤0.01), breaking strength (P≤0.01), shell thickness (P≤0.01), shell weight (P≤0.01), surface area (P≤0.01), albumen index (P≤0.01), yolk index (P≤0.01), Haugh unit (P≤0.01), yolk color (P≤0.05) and albumen pH (P≤0.01). The egg shell color significantly affected the specific gravity (P≤0.01), breaking strength (P≤0.01), shell thickness (P≤0.01), shell weight (P≤0.01), albumen pH (P≤0.05) and albumen blood-meat spots (P≤0.05). The current findings revealed that the eggs should be transported to consumers as soon as possible, and further studies should be performed to darken egg shell colors. It was concluded that newly laid dark colored eggs had the best quality.

“…Average egg weight loss (7.75%) regardless the egg size class in the study is lower than the value of 12.94% reported by Soliman et al (1994) for quail eggs. It is also lower than the values of 24.76% reported by Saylam (1999) and 20.90% reported by Saylam and Sarıca (1999) in quail eggs, and higher than the values of 1.25% reported by Khan et al (2013) in Fayoumi eggs which consequently affect the chick weight at hatching. The differences in weight losses among different studies during incubation can be due to the difference in species.…”

A total of 2000 Hubbard Classic females and 180 males (male to female ratio 1:11) close to standard body weights were selected and managed separately in the same shed. The objective of this experiment was to study the effects of egg size (small, medium and large) at mid (45 weeks) production cycle and flock age (30, 45 and 60 weeks old) on hatching egg weight loss, fertility, hatchability traits, chick weight and chick yield in a commercial Hubbard Classic broiler breeder flock. The results showed that minimum egg weight loss (P ≤ 0.05) was recorded in large egg size group at different incubation periods and egg weight losses decreased with advancing the age of breeder hens. Maximum fertility and hatchability (P ≤ 0.05) was noticed in small egg size group, followed by medium and large egg size groups. However, maximum embryonic mortality (P ≤ 0.05) during incubation and higher percentage of infertile eggs was recorded in large size egg group, followed by medium and small egg size groups. Low fertility, hatchability was recorded (P ≤ 0.05) in older hen at the age of 60 weeks. The chick weight and chick length were amplified (P ≤ 0.05) with increasing the egg size. However, egg size was not influenced (P ≥ 0.05) on chick yield. The chick weight, chick yield and chick length were improved (P ≤ 0.05) with advancing age of broiler breeder.

“…Similar results on Fayoumi chicken eggs were obtained by Khan et al, 2013. Other studies reported that prolonged storage influence egg quality due to physicochemical changes resulted in flattening of the yolk caused by the weakening of the vitelline membrane (Samli et al, 2005).…”

Key words:behaviour, T-maze, open field, egg storage, hatchability, embryo mortalities, growth performance, Japanese quailThe objective of this study was evaluating the effect of storage duration of Japanese quail eggs for two, seven and fourteen days before incubation on egg quality traits, egg weight loss, hatchability, growth performance and behaviour (exploratory behaviour, fearfulness, learning ability and memory) of birds as those behaviours were measured by performing open field test and spatial learning test. A total of 740 fertile eggs stored at 23°C and 65% humidity and divided into three treatments (Each treatment represented with four replicates), treatment 1 (T1) = egg stored for two days, treatment 2 (T2) = eggs were stored for seven days and treatment 3 (T3) = eggs were stored for 14 days. A significant effect of egg storage period on Haugh unit, yolk index and albumen Percentage were recorded. Weight loss and embryonic mortality rates increased when egg storage prolonged. Hatch weight and body weight at 5th week of age were significantly decreased in T3 birds. Also prolonged egg storage negatively affected the exploratory behaviour, fearfulness, learning ability and memory of birds. Birds of T1 exhibit more exploratory behaviour due to decreased fearfulness and higher learning ability and stronger memory than birds of T2 and T3 that considered as second grade chicks.
