Use of extruded eggshell as a calcium source substituting limestone or oyster shell in the diet of laying hens

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, 2021
The nutritional values of limestone, oyster shell and extruded eggshells were evaluated using different methods. In total, 120 ready‐to‐lay pullets, 18‐week‐old ISA Brown were distributed into six dietary groups, namely D1 (4% limestone), D2 (8 ...

Is the Eggshell Quality Influenced by the Egg Weight or the Breeder Age?

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Poultry Science
For a long time, it has been said that eggshell quality decreases as eggs increase in size, but this increase is seen as the breeder age advances. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the age and egg weight effect on Cobb 500 broiler breeders ...

Interaction between housing system and genotype in relation to internal and external egg quality parameters

open access: yesCzech Journal of Animal Science, 2011
The effect of three housing systems (conventional cages, enriched cages and litter) on egg quality parameters was evaluated in two experiments with four brown laying strains ISA Brown, Hisex Brown, Bovans Brown and Moravia BSL. During 40 weeks of lay the

Effect of Dietary Acetylsalicylic Acid on Eggshell Quality

open access: yesPoultry Science, 1991
Abstract Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) is an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis. Many soft-shelled (SS) and shell-less (SL) eggs are laid prematurely. It is hypothesized that prostaglandins may be responsible for the premature expulsion of some SS or SL eggs.

Eggshell Quality and Hatchability in Broiler Breeder Eggs ,

open access: yesPoultry Science, 1987
Abstract Relationships among selected variables of eggshell quality in broiler breeder eggs were determined over complete production cycles in three experiments. Variables measured were egg weight (EW), egg specific gravity (SG), eggshell weight (SW), water vapor conductance (G), and regional pore concentration (PC) and eggshell thickness (ST ...

Uterine transcriptome analysis reveals mRNA expression changes associated with the ultrastructure differences of eggshell in young and aged laying hens

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2020
Background Lower eggshell quality in the late laying period leads to economic loss. It is a major threat to the quality and safety of egg products. Age-related variations in ultrastructure were thought to induce this deterioration.
