Abstract
The composition was determined of eggs of Japanese quail following long-term selection for high 4-week body mass. Selection for large body size resulted in a larger egg (length, width, and mass) but not in direct proportion to the increase in body size. The size of the yolk and, to a lesser extent, the mass of the shell responded less strongly than the overall size of the egg. The composition of the albumen and yolk were not affected in a consistent manner by selection for 4-week body size.
