The eggshell: strength, structure and function

British Poultry Science, 2010
In making a journey through the literature of the last 50 years one can easily highlight a sequence of seminal works-but the route has not been direct and to avoid the many profitable diversions and detours that have enriched and deepened our collective understanding of the subject of eggshell structure and function is to do the subject a serious ...

The Effect of Eggshells Ash on the Compressive Strength of Concrete

Key Engineering Materials, 2017
This paper presents the main results of the research carried out to analyse the mechanical properties of concrete incorporating with eggshells waste. The use of eggshells ash in concrete formulations was investigated as an alternative to landfill disposal.

Hen’s eggshell strength under impact loading

Journal of Food Engineering, 2009
Abstract An experimental method for evaluation of an eggshell’s mechanical characteristics under impact loading is discussed. Proposed experimental set up enables recording of time history of the force at the contact area between the rod and eggshell, as well as the vibration response of the tested egg.

COMPARISON OF BREAKING STRENGTH AND SHELL THICKNESS AS EVALUATORS OF EGGSHELL QUALITY

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 1988
Abstract The shell quality of eggs produced by northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) dosed with sulfanilamide was evaluated by a compression breaking strength test and by the shell thickness measurements that are used in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency avian reproduction test to determine the effect of a chemical substance on ...

BREAKING STRENGTH: AN ALTERNATIVE INDICATOR OF TOXIC EFFECTS ON AVIAN EGGSHELL QUALITY

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 1986
Abstract A method for measuring the breaking strength of avian eggshells is presented along with a brief review of the literature relating shell strength to chlorinated hydrocarbon exposure. The effect of dietary DDE on shell strength is compared with its effect on shell thickness in the mallard duck (Anas platyrhynchos L).

The relative fracture strengths of the inner and outer surfaces of the eggshell of the domestic fowl

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1995
A method is described for comparing the strength of the material near the inner and outer surfaces of the eggshell of the domestic fowl. Half eggs with blunt poles, obtained by cutting the egg around the equator, were subjected to concentric loading through neoprene O-rings, respectively 7 mm and 15.5 mm diameter.

Protoporphyrin and Eggshell Strength: Preliminary Findings from a Passerine Bird

Avian Biology Research, 2011
Protoporphyrin pigmentation is a common feature of passerine eggshells worldwide, typically giving red to brown coloration. Although these may form a background colour to the egg, protoporphyrin more commonly forms speckles, blotches or patches of colour (maculation) against a white (unpigmented) or blue/green (biliverdin-pigmented) background ...

Effects of Nest Parasitism and Nest Location on Eggshell Strength in Waterfowl

The Condor, 1990
We examined the relationship between brood parasitism, nest location, egg shape, and eggshell thickness in waterfowl species. We found that within and across tribes, parasitic species did not have significantly rounder eggs or thicker shells than nonparasitic species.
