Abstract
Fresh albumen samples from a total of 244 eggs from 23 breeds of Domestic Fowl (Gallus gallus) were analyzed electrophoretically. These breeds include the wild-type Red Jungle Fowl, as well as a wide variety of bantam, laying, and exhibition breeds which provide a large amount of morphological and physiological diversity. No variation in the egg-white proteins among these breeds could be detected that was greater than normal sampling and measuring errors inherent in the technique. It is concluded that the structure of the egg-white proteins is phylogenetically conservative.
