Beç Tavuklarında (Numida meleagris) Yumurta Şekil İndeksinin Yumurta Kalitesine Etkileri

Bu çalışmada, Beç tavuklarında (Numida meleagris) yumurta şekil indeksinin yumurta kalite özellikleri üzerine olan etkilerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bunun için, yumurtalar şekil indeksi bakımından ve >=78 olmak üzere üç gruba ayrılmıştır. Yumurta kalite özelliklerinin (yumurta ağırlığı, kabuk kalınlığı, kabuk yüzey alanı, birim yüzey kabuk ağırlığı, kabuk oranı, ak indeksi, ak oranı, sarı indeksi, sarı oranı, sarı/ak oranı, haugh birimi ve yumurta hacmi) belirlenmesi için toplam 100 adet yumurta incelenmiştir. Araştırmada, kabuk kalınlığı, birim yüzey kabuk ağırlığı, kabuk oranı, ak indeksi, ak oranı, sarı indeksi, sarı oranı, sarı/ak oranı ve haugh birimi özellikleri yumurta şekil indeksi tarafından etkilenmemiştir. Buna karşın yumurta şekil indeksi, yumurta ağırlığı, kabuk yüzey alanı ve yumurta hacmini önemli derecede etkilemiştir. Aynı zamanda, yumurta şekil indeksi ile yumurta kalite özellikleri arasında önemli ilişki bulunmuştur. Yumurta şekil indeksi yumurta kalite özelliklerini etkileyen önemli bir faktör olarak belirlenmiştir.

The Effects of Egg Shape Index on Egg Quality Traits of Guinea Fowl (Numida meleagris)

The aim of this study was to investigated the effects of the egg shape index on egg quality characteristics in Guinea fowl. For this, the eggs were classified in terms of egg shape index, as <= 75, < 76 -77 > and >= 78. A total of 100 Guinea fowl eggs were evaluated to determine the egg quality traits ( egg weight, eggshell thickness, eggshell surface area, eggshell weight per unit surface area, eggshell ratio, albumen index, albumen ratio, yolk index, yolk ratio, yolk/albumen ratio, haugh unit and egg volume). In this study, eggshell thickness, eggshell weight per unit surface area, eggshell ratio, albumen index, albumen ratio, yolk index, yolk ratio, yolk/albumen ratio and haugh unit were not significantly affected by egg shape index groups. Whereas egg weight, eggshell surface area and egg volume were significantly affected by egg shape index groups. At the same time, there were found significant relationship between the egg shape index and egg quality traits. Egg shape index was found to be an important factor affecting the egg quality characteristics.
