A Nondestructive Eggshell Thickness Measurement Technique Using Terahertz Waves. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 AbstractEggshells play a number of important roles in the avian and reptile kingdom: protection of internal contents and as a major source of minerals for developing embryos. However, when researching these respective roles, eggshell thickness measurement remains a bottleneck due to the lack of a non-destructive measurement techniques.

Shell gland RNA-seq reveals key genes regulating eggshell quality and potential links between eggshell quality and hatchability across different laying stages [PDF]
Poultry ScienceThe quality of hatching eggs and their hatchability are key factors affecting the production efficiency of breeding flocks. The quality of hatching eggs is commonly graded directly based on the eggshell quality.

Effect of Uniformity of Eggshell Thickness on Eggshell Quality in Chickens
The Journal of Poultry Science, 2014 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
