“…Egg qualities, i.e., eggshell strength, thickness, or Haugh unit were not affected by dietary treatments as reported previously (Kim et al, 2008;Rotolo et al, 2010;Akdemir et al, 2012). In contrast to our findings, dietary LP at 100 or 200 ppm linearly increased Haugh unit in quails (Sahin et al, 2008). Here we confirmed the well-established LP effect on intensifying yolk color, which is the consequence of direct incorporation of LP into the egg yolk, as seen in this study and reported elsewhere (Kim et al, 2008;Sahin et al, 2008;Rotolo et al, 2010;Akdemir et al, 2012;Sun et al, 2014a).…”
