Factors Affecting the Quality Loss in Egg Albumen During Storage

Effects of extended storage on egg quality factors.

Eggs were collected from a single inline processing facility weekly for 3 wk (replicates). The eggs were stored at 4 degrees C and 80% RH. Sampling began the day after collection and continued each week for 10 wk. During analysis, 24 eggs were examined for egg weight, albumen height, Haugh units (HU), shell strength, and vitelline membrane strength for each replicate. Egg weight decreased (P < ...

Investigating the carbon storage in different climatic regions and the affecting factors in Kordestan Province

In recent decades, climate change and global warming have become to one of the critical global challenges that have attracted the attention of researchers. Knowing the effects of climate change on soil carbon can be used as the best tools regarding to understand the soil carbon cycle, therefore, this study was carried out to investigate and compare the amount of carbon storage in different clim...

Influence of air composition during egg storage on egg characteristics, embryonic development, hatchability, and chick quality.

Egg storage beyond 7 d is associated with an increase in incubation duration and a decrease in hatchability and chick quality. Negative effects of prolonged egg storage may be caused by changes in the embryo, by changes in egg characteristics, or by both. An adjustment in storage air composition may reduce negative effects of prolonged egg storage because it may prevent changes in the embryo an...

Correlated Response in Shell and Albumen Quality in Local Chicken Strain Selected for Increasing Egg Mass

The present study was carried out during two successive generations beside base generation, to improve egg mass (EM) through selection in developed Baheij chicken strain and to study correlated response of some production traits. The results showed that: 1Egg mass means for based generation (G0), first generation (G1) and second generation (G2) were 1741.29, 1904.52 and 2157.38g for S line and ...
