EVALUATION OF EGG QUALITY TRAITS IN INDIGENOUS HANSLI CHICKEN OF ODISHA
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 55
Abstract
Total 202 Hansli eggs were used for this study. Eggs were obtained from 96 female Hansli, all at 40 week of age. The birds were housed at ratio of 1 male/6 female. The values related to external quality traits such as; weight of egg (g), length of egg (mm), width of egg(mm), shape index, egg shell thickness (mm), egg shell weight (g), shell (%) were found respectively as 46.25±0.71, 52.08±0.36, 39.41±0.20, 75.84±0.53, 0.41±0.006, 5.72±0.06, 12.38±0.46 and the values related to internal quality traits such as; albumen index (%), yolk index (%), Haugh unit (H.U), albumen weight (g), yolk weight (g), albumen (%), yolk (%), yolk albumen ratio (%) were found respectively as 8.1±0.002, 44.8±0.007, 81.79±0.95, 27.14±0.52, 13.34±0.24, 58.68±0.62, 28.84±0.46, 49.35±0.48. Higher values for albumen height (6.10±0.14) mm and H.U. are attributed to the freshness of eggs and proper age of hens. The average shell thickness was significantly correlated with egg weight (0.77), albumen index (-0.402) and yolk index(0.856). Statistically significant correlation was found between the Haugh unit with albumen index 0.43 and yolk index- 0.41 respectively. Egg weight was also significantly correlated with albumen index (0.62). So egg weight can be used as an indicator to determine the quality of egg shell and albumen.
