| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects of egglaying
week on some egg quality characteristics of rock partridges.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> Quality characteristics of 160 partridge
eggs obtained from 34-41 week ages were investigated.
144 rock partridges in 32 week of ages were used as research
material.<p>
<b>Results:</b> It was determined that the effects of egg-laying week
on egg weight, shape index, yolk index, albumen index, egg shell
weight, shell thickness, Haugh Unite, membrane weight and
albumen weight were found statistically important (P<0.05).
The effects of egg-laying week on yolk weight was found not
important (P>0.05). Egg weight, shape index and yolk index of
partridge eggs has been increased according to egg-laying week
(P<0.05). While albumen index, shell membrane weight, shell
membrane thickness has been decreased with the egg-laying
week (P<0.05).<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> Some internal and external quality characteristics
of partridge eggs were determined and also the differences in
these characteristics according to egg-laying week were investigated.
it can be recommended further investigations should be
carried out on the other factors effecting the quality characteristics
of partridge eggs. |
