Abstract | ||
The study was conducted to investigate the effects of age of broiler breeder (30 and 45 weeks), storage period (2, 4, 6 and 8 days) and their interactions on egg quality traits of the Ross-308 broiler breeder eggs. The experiment included the measurements of the egg quality characteristics in the research laboratory. Results from this study were summarizing as: age of broiler breeder had significant effect (p ≤ 0.05) on some quality traits of the eggs such as: egg weight, albumin weight, yolk weight, Haugh unit, yolk height, yolk index, Storage period had significant effect (p ≤ 0.05) on egg weight, albumin weight, Haugh unit, yolk index. | ||
