Determination of some external and internal quality traits of Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) eggs on the basis of eggshell colour and spot colour

Amaç: Bu çalışma bıldırcın yumurtalarında farklı kabuk rengi, benek rengi ve benek yaygınlığına sahip yumurtalarda iç ve dış kalite özelliklerini belirlemek amacıyla yürütüldü. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmada günlük toplanan 318 adet Japon bıldırcın yumurtası kullanıldı. Uygulama grupları grimsi beyaz kabuk rengi üzerine çok büyük kahve benek (I), grimsi beyaz kabuk rengi üzerine farklı büyüklükte siyah benek (II), kahverengi kabuk rengi üzerine büyük kahve benek (III), kahverengi kabuk rengi üzerine yaygın kahve benek (IV) ve grimsi beyaz kabuk rengi üzerine farklı büyüklükte mavi benek (V) olarak isimlendirildi. Yumurtalar bireysel olarak numaralandırıldı. Yumurta kırılmadan önce dış kalite özellikleri ve kırıldıktan sonra ak uzun ve kısa çapı, ak yüksekliği, sarı çapı ve sarı yüksekliği ölçüldü. Bulgular: Yumurta kabuk oranı ve kabuk indeksi değerleri bakımından gruplar arasındaki farklılıklar önemli bulundu (P

Bıldırcın yumurtalarının (Coturnix coturnix japonica) kabuk ve benek rengine göre bazı dış ve iç kalite özelliklerinin belirlenmesi.

Aim: In this study was aimed to determining internal and external quality of quail eggs with different eggshell colour, spot colour and spottiness. Material and Methods: In this study, daily collected 318 eggs were used. The treatment groups were classified as those with very large brown spots on greyish white eggshell colour (I), black spots of varying size on greyish white eggshell colour (II), large brown spots on brown eggshell colour (III), widely distributed brown spots on brown eggshell colour (IV), and blue spots of varying size on greyish white eggshell colour (V). The eggs were individually numbered. External quality characteristics were identified before egg broken out. After eggs were broken out, long and short diameter of albumen, albumen height, yolk diameter and yolk height were evaluated. Results: The differences for value of eggshell percentage and shell index between groups were statistically significant (P
