Polymorphism of the SCNN1g Gene and its Association with Eggshell Quality [PDF]
Poultry Science Journal, 2017 Eggshell quality is the main trait to assess egg quality. Marker assisted selection can be used to improve this trait. During eggshell formation, a mass of inorganic minerals is deposited. The Sodium Channel (SCNN1) gene family plays an essential role in

The Effect of Indomethacin on Eggshell Quality
Poultry Science, 1991 The objective of the present study was to determine whether indomethacin, an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis, could improve shell quality in birds laying a high incidence (greater than 15%) of soft-shelled (SS) and shell-less (SL) eggs and in birds laying exclusively hard-shelled (HS) eggs. Treatments consisted of two injection types, indomethacin

The Effects of Egg Shape Index on Egg Quality Traits of Guinea Fowl (Numida meleagris)
Turkish Journal of Agriculture: Food Science and Technology, 2016 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
