Abstract
IT IS widely accepted that there are many different methods which can be used to determine interior egg quality. Relationships existing among the various measurements are not well known.The purposes of experiments reported are to present a correlation of our presently accepted quality measurements and to evaluate changes that take place in interior egg quality between 0 and 24 hours after time of lay.MATERIALS AND METHODSIn Experiment 1, a total of 239 eggs were obtained from the Purdue Poultry Farm. These were stored at approximately 55°F., with a relative humidity of 70 percent for 24 hours. At the end of this storage period, 40 of these eggs were used to establish the time interval which should be allowed to determine percentages of outer and inner thin albumen. These eggs were broken out into a sieve (Holst and Almquist, 1931) and allowed to stand for a period of …
