Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the egg shape index on egg quality traits in Partridge (Alectoris Chukar). For this purpose, the eggs were classified as three different groups in terms of egg shape index which are ≤ 75, < 76 -77 > and ≥ 78 and 114, 56 and 73 eggs were used in the groups, respectively. Albumen ratio, albumen weight, yolk weight, yolk/albumen ratio and Haugh unit were significantly affected by egg shape index in this research. On the other hand, egg weight, egg volume, shell surface area, eggshell thickness, unit surface eggshell weight, shell ratio, albumen index, yolk index, yolk ratio and eggshell weight traits were not affected by egg shape index. It was determined that there was a significant relationship between egg shape index and albumen ratio, albumen weight, yolk weight, yolk/albumen ratio and Haugh unit in this study. According to the findings, eggshape index is an important factor affecting egg quality.
