Abstract
This study aimed to determine the effect and the best of storage time for first phase herbal chicken eggs at room temperature at an average of 29,3°C on the decrease in egg weight, air cavity diameter, and albumen index. This research was conducted on 7 October--4 November 2020 at the Animal Production Laboratory, Department of Animal Husbandry, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Lampung. This study used a completely randomized design method (CRD) with 5 treatments of egg with storage time for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 weeks and 4 replication. The data obtained were tested according to analysis of variance and tested with the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test at the 5% real level. The results of this study showed that the herbal egg storage treatment had a significant effect (P <0.05) on reducing egg weight, air cavity diameter, and index albumen. Storage time of 1 week at room temperature with an average of 29,3°C gave the best effect on the lowest egg weight, namely 1.31% ± 0,14, the width of air cavity diameter of 1.897 ± 0,255 cm, and albumen index of 0.055 ± 0,007 when compared to storage time of 2, 3, and 4 weeks.
 
 Keywords: herbal egg, room temperature, egg weight loss, air cell diameter,and albumen index.
