Research Note: Three-dimensional microstructural basis for chicken eggshell translucency [PDF]
Poultry Science, 2023 : Eggshell translucency, an externally observable feature, can influence consumer purchase intentions. The eggshell quality often deteriorates in aging laying hens, leading to increased eggshell translucency.
