Microfocus X-ray scattering investigations of eggshell nanotexture [PDF]
, 2005 The avian eggshell is a highly ordered calcitic bioceramic composite, with both inorganic and organic constituents. The interactions between the inorganic and organic components within the structure are poorly understood but are likely to occur at the ...

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

Extracellular Matrix Molecules of the Eggshell as Related to Eggshell Quality [PDF]
, 1997 The extracellular matrix of the mineralizing eggshell contains molecules hypothesized to be regulators biomineralization. To study eggshell matrix molecules, a bank of monoclonal antibodies was generated that bound demineralized eggshell matrix or localized to oviduct epithelium.
