Effect of limestone particle size on performance, eggshell quality, bone strength, and in vitro/in vivo solubility in laying hens: a meta-analysis approach

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2022
: Numerous publications over the past 5 decades have investigated the effect of limestone particle size (LmPS) on production performance, bone mineralization, and limestone solubilization in laying hens.

METHODS TO EVALUATE THE EGGSHELL QUALITY OF TABLE EGGS [PDF]

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Poultry Science, 2019
The objectives of this study were to determine the most suitable probe diameter and egg position to perform the eggshell breaking strength test using a texturometer, as well as the most reliable parameter to estimate eggshell quality when no electronic ...

Monitoring of Eggshell Breakage and Eggshell Strength in Different Production Chains of Consumption Eggs

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2006
We first tried to monitor the critical points for eggshell breakage in different logistic chains. Second, we examined whether there was a difference in eggshell strength among eggs produced in different housing systems. Finally, we developed a model to investigate the relation between eggshell strength and the likelihood of an egg cracking during ...

The Effect of Different Curing Methods on the Compressive Strength of Eggshell Concrete

open access: yesIndian Journal of Science and Technology, 2017
The work assesses the effect of different curing conditions on the compressive strength of the eggshell concrete. Two different qualities of the eggshell powder were used to make concrete with 0.45 water/cement ratio. The eggshell powders were treated as partial cement replacement of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%.

Vaccine to fibroblast growth factor 23 peptides increases eggshell strength

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2018
Strategies that would increase eggshell quality could be of considerable value to egg producers. This research demonstrated the effective use of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) peptide vaccines to increase eggshell quality of Single Comb White Leghorn laying hens (from 69 to 72 wk of age). Hens, fed a standard diet (containing 900 IU/kg vitamin D3)

Proteomic changes in extracellular vesicle and uterine fluid proteins correlated with eggshell quality in aged laying hens [PDF]

open access: yesPoultry Science
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) in uterine fluid (UF) are thought to regulate eggshell calcification, yet their composition and functions remain unclear.

Soil stabilization using eggshell powder and its effect on unconfined compressive strength (UCS) values

open access: yesTeknika
Soil in road pavement construction has an important role as the foundation for the structure supporting the load above it. The damage that occurs in road construction also often due to subgrade soil that does not have good bearing capacity, therefore ...

Estimation of genetic parameters related to eggshell strength using random regression models

open access: yesBritish Poultry Science, 2015
1. This study examined the changes in eggshell strength and the genetic parameters related to this trait throughout a hen’s laying life using random regression.2. The data were collected from a crossbred population between 2011 and 2014, where the eggshell strength was determined repeatedly for 2260 hens.3. Using random regression models (RRM), several
