Effect of Laying Time and Age-Related Change on Egg Characteristics in Brown Layer Pure Lines

In this study, the Brown Layer Pure Line that housing as individual cage system at the Poultry Research Institute in Ankara was used. Eggs obtained from 24, 28, 32, 36 and 40 weeks old eggs were collected 3 times a day in the morning (10:00), noon (12:00) and evening (15:00). On a total of 427 eggs; Shape Index (SI), Egg weight (YA, g), Albumen height (AY, mm), Roche scale (RS), Haugh unit (HB), Egg Quality Classes (YKS), Shell strength (KM, N) and Shell thickness (KK, Micron) features are emphasized and colour parameters (L*, a*, b*, Hue, Ch and ΔE) of egg shell were determined. The effect of oviposition time was found significant on the Shape index, Egg weight (g), Haugh unit and Shell thickness (micron) values. However, Albumen height (mm), Egg Quality, Roche scale and Shell strength (N) were not affected by oviposition time. Among the egg shell colour parameters, a*, b*, Hue and Chrome values were affected by the oviposition time, and the calculated difference was found to be statistically significant.

Kahverengi Yumurtacı Saf Hatlarda Yumurta Özellikleri Üzerine Yumurtlama Zamanının Etkisi ve Yaşa Bağlı Değişimi

Bu araştırmada, Ankara Tavukçuluk Araştırma Enstitüsünde bireysel kafes gözlerinde barındırılan kahverengi yumurtacı saf hat kullanılmıştır. Yüz elli adet tavuktan 24, 28, 32, 36 ve 40. haftalık yaşlarda elde edilen yumurtalar sabah (10:00), öğlen (12:00) ve akşam (15:00) olmak üzere günde 3 kez toplanmıştır. Toplam 427 adet yumurta üzerinde; Şekil İndeksi (SI), Yumurta Ağırlığı (YA, g), Ak Yüksekliği (AY, mm), Roche Skala (RS), Haugh Birimi (HB), Yumurta Kalite Sınıfı (YKS), Kabuk Mukavemeti (KM, N) ve Kabuk Kalınlığı (KK, Mikron) gibi özellikler üzerinde durulmuştur. Yumurta kabuk renk parametreleri (L*, a*, b* Hue, Chrome ve ΔE) belirlenmiştir. Şekil indeksi, Yumurta ağırlığı (g), Hough Birimi ve Kabuk kalınlığı (Mikron) değerleri üzerine yumurtlama zamanının etkisi önemli bulunmuştur. Bununla birlikte, Ak yüksekliği, Roche skala, Yumurta Kalitesi ve Kabuk mukavemeti (N) yumurtlama zamanından etkilenmemiştir. Yumurta kabuk rengi parametrelerinden a*, b*, Hue ve Chrome değerleri yumurtlama zamanından etkilenmiş olup hesaplanan fark istatistiki olarak önemli bulunmuştur.
