Influence of Ascorbic Acid on Egg Quality

Abstract: SUMMARYThe egg quality may be influenced by some nutrients added to laying hens diets and among these nutrients, the ascorbic acid is included. According to some researches, this acid, besides of improving the quality, it can increase the egg production and weight. In addition, it reduces the quantity of cracked eggs and food intake. In order to contribute with more information, this experiment was developed. Concentrations of 100; 150 and 200mg/kg of ascorbic acid were added to rations of laying hens during 6… Show more

“…AA had positive effect on the physical parameters of yolk and albumen quality. Consistent with our results, de Souza et al (2001) showed that low doses of AA (100, 150, and 200 mg/kg) increased (P < 0.05) the value of Haugh units. The yolk index was not influenced by the AA addition.…”

“…Os valores médios observados para os diferentes níveis de ácido ascórbico na ração de codornas para o peso dos ovos foram de 10,14 g, peso da gema de 3,40 g, peso do albúmen de 5,30 g, e para o diâmetro dos ovos de 2,46 mm e das gemas de 2,21 mm. De forma semelhante, Souza et al (2001) avaliaram a influencia do ácido ascórbico sobre a qualidade de ovos produzidos em ambiente com temperatura média de 26°C e concluíram que o nível de até 0,02% de ácido ascórbico não é suficiente para evitar perdas na qualidade dos ovos durante o período de 0 a 28 dias de armazenamento.…”

“…According to Souza et al (2001) and Turatti (2001), eggs have high nutritional values, and are one of the alternatives to solve malnutrition problems in Latin America. Eggs supply protein, fat, minerals, and vitamins, and have low calorie content and low cost, and are considered as one of the most reliable sources of these compounds (Stadelman, 1999).…”
