Effect of Uniformity of Eggshell Thickness on Eggshell Quality in Chickens
Numerous parameters have been proposed to evaluate eggshell quality in order to reduce losses from damaged eggshells. The uniformity of eggshell thickness (UET), as a newly proposed parameter, is defined as the reciprocal of the coefficient of variation

Eggshell appearance does not signal maternal corticosterone exposure in Japanese quail: an experimental study with brown-spotted eggs [PDF]
Reproduction is a critical period for birds as they have to cope with many stressful events. One consequence of an acute exposure to stress is the release of corticosterone, the avian stress hormone.

Eggshell structure, measurements, and quality-affecting factors in laying hens: a review
Eggshell quality is one of the most significant factors affecting poultry industry; it economically influences egg production and hatchability. Eggshell consists of shell membranes and the true shell that includes mammillary layer, palisade layer, and ...

Shell formation and bone strength in laying hens [PDF]
In Sweden almost 3.8% of all eggs are ruined due to cracked eggshells as shell quality declines with age during the laying period. This is a concern for food safety as well as an economical problem.

Role of Ultrastructure in Determining Eggshell Strength
Abstract The relationship of eggshell mammillary structure to eggshell strength was studied. Eggshells produced from Single Comb White Leghorn hens of the Cornell high eggshell strength (HES) or low eggshell strength (LES) strains with similar shell thickness (HES: .356 ± .056 mm; LES: .307 ± .006 mm, P>.05) but with significantly different shell ...
