Evaluation of Native and Kadaknath chicken for production performance, egg quality traits and farmers acceptability in Western Himalayan region of Himachal Pradesh, India

The present study evaluated production performance and egg quality traits of native and Kadaknath chicken of Himachal Pradesh under sub-temperate western Himalayan region of India. External egg quality traits like egg weight, egg length, egg width, shell thickness and internal traits like length, height, width of albumen, yolk height, and yolk width were measured. Body weight of native and Kadaknath birds differed significantly at different age of measurements and body weight of native birds was significantly higher than Kadaknath. Age at sexual maturity was found less in native birds in comparison to Kadaknath. HHEP and HDEP was observed higher in native birds than Kadaknath. Mean value estimated for egg weight, egg length, egg width, shape index and shell thickness were 45.33 g, 54.99 mm, 41.27 mm, 75.02% and 0.36 mm, respectively in native eggs while corresponding values were 43.87 g, 53.61 mm, 40.80 mm, 76.20% and 0.34 mm, respectively in Kadaknath eggs. Albumen length, albumen width, yolk height and yolk index is observed significantly higher in native birds than Kadaknath. Appraisal of farm practices through field survey suggests that Kadaknath birds witnessed rising popularity in recent times. However, native birds of the region are better producers in comparison to Kadaknath. This suggests that native birds may be preferred over Kadaknath birds in similar regions where premium pricing of Kadaknath is unavailable. Occasionally peri-urban market offered opportunity of premium pricing based income through sale of Kadaknath birds. Thus, rearing of Kadaknath along with native birds is advised in such regions.

Características físicas de ovos de galinhas domésticas caipiras da variedade Sura no Nordeste

ABSTRACT This study aimed to analyze the physical characteristics of eggs from free-range hens of the Sura variety. One hundred eggs underwent assessment of various physical parameters, namely, whole egg weight, equatorial diameter, egg height, shell color, presence of cracks via candling, air chamber height, yolk color, presence of flesh and blood spots, albumen width and length, yolk diameter, yolk weight, and shell weight. Additional analyses included determining the albumen weight (calculated by subtracting the weights of the shell and yolk from the total egg weight), percentages of egg components, shape index, and shell index. Statistical analyses were conducted using GLM SAS software (SAS Institute). The results revealed distinct physical traits; eggs from the Sura variety, regardless of size class (large or small), typically have a more rounded shape, light brown shells, and more orange yolks. These findings confirm that Sura variety eggs possess unique characteristics that could appeal to specific market niches, potentially promoting the production of these birds, supporting biodiversity, and aiding in the prevention of their extinction.

Examination of the Relationships between Internal and External Egg Quality Traits: A Structural Equation Model

This study aimed to determine the structural relationship between internal and external egg quality (IEEQ) traits. In this study, 114 eggs produced from 24 weeks-old laying hens reared at the Ondokuz Mayis University Research Farm were used. Egg weight (EW), egg width (EWi), egg length (EL) and shell weight (SW) measurements were examined as external quality traits. Also, albumen height (AH), albumen width (AW), yolk height (YH), yolk weight (YW) and yolk diameter (YD) parameters were used as internal quality traits. Structural Equation Model (SEM) was used to determine the relationships between IEEQ traits. Data analysis was performed with the LISREL package. It has been determined that the variables that are important in determining the external egg quality are SW, EWi and EL. When the variables explaining the internal traits were examined, it was determined that the YW, YD, AW, AH and YH were significant. It was determined that the relationship between external egg quality and internal quality was 0.96 and external quality explained the internal quality by 91%. It has been determined that the SEM used in this study is sufficient to explain the relationship between internal and external quality.

The research method used was correlational method. This research was using secondary data of 119 sentul chicken eggs and tested with normality test, linearity test, correlation, and path analysis used SPSS 26. The result showed that there was a correlation between albumen width, albumen height, and albumen index on the haugh unit of sentul chicken eggs and the effect of albumen height on the haugh unit of sentul chicken eggs is 83.13% and the effect of albumen index on the haugh unit of sentul chicken eggs is 9.78%.

CORRELATION BETWEEN EGG QUALITY PARAMETERS OF WILD GUINEA FOWL NUMIDA MELEAGRIS SOURCED FROM THREE MARKETS IN OGUN STATE, NIGERIA

The potential of Wild Guinea fowl for domestication is still not totally exploited as there are needs for improved variability. This study was done in order to analyze egg features of wild Guinea fowl, Numida meleagris. A total of 27 eggs were obtained from three different markets in Ogun state and they were assessed for both external and internal features. Highest values of Haugh unit, albumen width, albumen height and egg shape index of 89.28%, 41.36mm, 6.34mm and 81.56% were recorded in eggs collected at Sabo market respectively. Highest egg width-37.57mm, egg weight- 34.38g and yolk diameter- 34.94mm were reported from eggs sourced from Itoku market while highest egg length-46.99mm, yolk height-16.29mm, yolk index-48.24% and albumen index- 24% were recorded in eggs obtained at Oke-Aje markets. Eggs internal and external parameters were not significantly different between the three markets (p > 0.05) but correlation between the parameters varied from positive to negative. Considerable association were found between egg shape index and egg’s weight, albumen index and albumen width, weight of eggs and egg length, using Pearson's correlation coefficients with p-value of significance at 0.05 and 0.01. It is concluded that the wild eggs of guinea fowls sourced from the three markets had good quality traits in terms of the Haugh unit.

Production and egg quality in chicken layers fed with Tithonia diversifolia

We evaluated the effect of different dietary Tithonia diversifolia (TD: 0, 10, 20, and 30 %) on productive traits, egg quality, and economic efficiency in laying hens. Feed intake was higher in hens fed the 20 and 30 % TD diets (120.6 and 119.0 g/day) compared with those fed the 0 or 10 % TD diets (P < 0.0010). Feed egg weight conversion increased with dietary TD inclusion (P < 0.0010). The laying rate was higher (P < 0.0020) in hens on 0 and 10 % TD diets (94.5 and 94.6 %, respectively) than those on 20 and 30 % TD diets (89.7 and 84.9 %). Eggs and yolks were heavier in hens fed 0, 10, and 20 % TD compared with those fed the 30 % TD diet (P <0.0020 and P < 0.0040, respectively), which also had poorer albumen width (P < 0.0010). The yolk had a more intense yellow as the level of dietary TD increased (P < 0.0001). Dietary TD did not affect economic efficiency. In summary, the inclusion of up to 10 % TD in laying hen diets seems feasible as it did not affect productive traits, economic efficiency, and egg quality traits.

Effect of different levels of lutein on laying performance and egg quality in laying hens

Seventy Brown-Nick laying hens (39-wk old) were divided into 5 treatment groups of similar mean body weight and egg production, comprising 14 birds in each. The birds were housed in individual cages in a completely randomized design and 16:8 h light:dark photoperiod was employed. The birds were fed standard layer diets containing different levels of lutein for 6 weeks. Treatment groups included control (without lutein), 100, 200, 400 and 800 ppm lutein respectively. The results attained from this study indicated that, different levels of lutein did not have a significant effect on final body weight, feed intake and feed conversion ratio but egg production was different between treatment groups. Also, it was observed that egg width, albumen width, shell weight, egg shape index, yolk index, yolk height and shell thickness were affected by lutein. Feeding diet containing different levels of lutein had a significant effect on egg yolk colour. It can be concluded that, adding of lutein in layer hens’ diet can improve the laying performance and egg quality.

Quality of table eggs in relation to shell colour

The present study evaluated the quality of table eggs in relation to shell colour. The study was conducted on 60 table eggs with shells coloured white, green, blue and brown (15 eggs per colour) obtained from laying hens from the same backyard farm. The following external quality traits of table eggs were measured: egg weight, percentage of dirty and cracked eggs, egg width and length, egg shape index, eggshell colour, eggshell weight and percentage, and eggshell thickness. The following internal quality indicators of table eggs were determined: albumen weight and percentage, albumen pH value, albumen width, length and height, Haugh index, albumen index, yolk weight and percentage, yolk pH value, yolk width and height, yolk index and yolk colour. Green eggs had the lowest weight, as well as the lowest width and length. White eggs had the highest eggshell dirtiness scores and egg shape index, while brown eggs had the highest eggshell thickness and weight. Green and brown eggs had the highest albumen index and Haugh index. In addition, green eggs had the lowest yolk width and the highest yolk index. White eggs had the highest albumen and yolk width, the greatest albumen length and the lowest albumen height. Yolks of white and blue eggs had a higher sensory colour score, as well as lower L* and b* values compared to the yolks of green and brown eggs. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that green and brown table eggs are of better overall quality compared to white and blue table eggs.

Laying performance of 5th generation of BLRI improved native duck

This research was aimed to improve the egg production performances and to estimate the selection response of fifth generation (G5) of deshi white (Rupali) and white breasted black (Nageswari) duck genotypes through an individual selection program. All the ducks were reared in an open sided duck house. Diet containing 17.5% CP and 2750 Kcal ME/kg and fresh water provided twice daily in the morning and evening. Individual egg production was recorded from each duck. After 40 weeks of age, female ducks were selected on the basis of selection index and selection differences, selection intensity and responses were also measured. Egg weight, egg production and feed intake were recorded and FCR, egg mass was calculated. All recorded data were analyzed by SAS and differences were determined by DMRT. The selection criteria of fifth generation (G5) of both duck genotypes were studied. As a result of selection, age at sexual maturity (day), egg weight (g) and egg production % were expected to improve by -1.63d, 0.60g, 1.01% and -0.85day, 0.39g, 0.47% for Rupali and Nageswari ducks, respectively. Egg mass was significantly (p<0.05) higher in Rupali (40.24g) than Nageswari (37.55g) duck whereas, egg weight was not significantly differ in both genotypes. Egg production in Rupali and Nageswari duck was 65.41% and 62.74%, respectively. Rupali ducks were significantly (p<0.05) consumed more feed (134.54 g) than Nagesswari ducks (126.23 g). The FCR was significantly (p<0.05) better in Rupali (3.34) than Nageswari (3.61) ducks. The egg quality results showed that egg shell thickness of Rupali duck was significantly (p<0.05) higher than Nageswari. Higher values for albumen width (p<0.05) was also found in Rupali (65.03mm) than Nageswari (59.11mm) duck egg. On the other hand shape index, albumen index, yolk index and haugh unit were not found significantly different in both genotypes but the yolk color score of Nageswari found highest score than Rupali duck egg. Proximate composition of eggs was not significantly different of both duck genotypes. Based on the results it is revealed that Rupali duck was better in terms of egg weight, egg mass and egg production, but starting lay egg is earlier in Nageswari than Rupali duck. Bang. J. Livs. Res. Vol. 27 (1&2), 2020: P. 15-23

Growth Performance and Egg Quality of Layers Fed Graded Levels of Palm Oil Supplemented with Vitamin E

Test diets (2-5) for layers were prepared using graded levels of 5, 8, 10 and 12% levels of inclusion of palm oil supplemented with 0.11, 0.17, 0.22 and 0.27g, respectively, of vitamin E/Kg of feed. The control diet for the layers had no palm oil and vitamin E inclusions. The experimental diets were used to feed 75 Nera brown layers that were 24wks old. The birds were distributed to the diets using completely randomized design. There were five treatments and each treatment had three replicates of five birds per replicate. The experiment lasted for 12 weeks. Results of the experiment showed that the average body weight significantly increased (P<0.05) for the birds on the test diets (2-5) than those on the control diet, birds on diet 2 (1.91 kg) weighed the heaviest. For the egg quality parameters, averages of egg weight, hen day egg production, albumen height, albumen width and index, shell thickness, yolk heighi varied significantly (P<0.05) among the treatments. In many yurd sticks the graded levels of palm oil inclusion supplemented with vitamin E enhanced performance und egg quality of layers'

The Effect of Genotype and Age of Layer Breeders on Egg Quality Traits

The external and internal qualities of 120 eggs (60:60) from Isa Brown (IB) and Bovan Nera (BN) layer breeders were evaluated at 15th and 30th week of their production. The genotypes differed significantly (P<0.09) m external egg quality traits except egg weight and egg length. IB recorded higher values in egg width, eggshell weight, eggshell thickness, shape index and shell ratio than BN, while the reverse trend was for egg length. This implies that IB genotype produced eggs with thicker shells than BN, which invariably will lead to a reduction in the rate of cracks and leakages both on the farm and in the hatchery thereby enhancing better hatchability. The age effect was significant (P<0.05) for all the external egg quality traits. The analysis showed that eggs produced at 30th week were better in terms of external quality traits with the exception of egg shape index. There was positive and significant (P <0.05) interaction effect between genotype and age on eggshell width and shell ratio but not for other traits. As regards internal egg quality traits, the genotypes differed significantly (P<0.05) in all the traits except yolk width, yolk height and albumen weight. IB recorded higher (P<0.05) values in yolk weight, albumen width and yolk ratio than BN, while the latter recorded higher values in albumen height, albumen ratio and haugh unit (HU) than the former The effect of age on internal traits was positive and significant (P<0.05) with the exception f yolk width, albumen width, yolk ratio and albumen ratio. The result showed that the 30th week analyses recorded higher (P<0.05) values in these traits than 15th week. This implies that the quality of breeding eggs improves with the advancing age of the birds. Breed x age interactions were significant for yolk weight and albumen width but not found for other traits. IB genotype was considered the best for external egg quality traits and produced thicker eggshell. However, BN genotype produced superior egg quality than lB having recorded higher values (P< 0.05) in HU, which is a determinant of egg quality

Egg quality traits, phenotypic correlations, egg and yolk weights prediction using external and internal egg quality traits of Japanese quails reared in Calabar, Nigeria

Three hundred freshly laid eggs collected from 12 weeks old brown Japanese quails on deep litters fed 18% CP and 2700 kcal ME/kg ration and water ad libitum. External egg quality traits measured included egg (weight and width) and yolk (weight, height and width). Data collected were used to estimate descriptive statistics, phenotypic correlations and to predict egg and yolk weights. Results of phenotypic correlation of external egg traits investigated expressed mostly non-significant (p>0.05) both positive and negative low values with the exceptions of two higher, negative significant (p<0.01) correlations observed between egg weight and egg length (r= – 0.721) and egg weight and shell thickness (r= – 0.616). Similarly, results of phenotypic correlations of internal egg traits expressed mostly non-significant (p>0.05) both positive and negative low values with the exceptions of very high negative correlation coefficient (r= – 0.802) between yolk weight and albumen width and moderate negative correlation coefficient (r= – 0.561) between albumen height and albumen width. The only moderate positive significant correlation (r=0.519) obtained in this study was between yolk weight and albumen height. The regression estimates of parameters and coefficient of determination for simple (one trait) and multiple (two traits and for predicting egg and yolk weight sh6wed very low non-significant associations/interrelationship. But with three to five traits fitted into the multiple linear regression equations, highly significant (p<0.001) associations/interrelationships were obtained for egg and yolk weights. Egg and yolk weights can be predicted using external and internal egg traits measurements with two external traits (egg length and egg width) and two internal traits (albumen height and albumen width) best predicted egg and yolk heights respectively.

Physical Quality of Native Chicken Eggs in Laying Phase and Fed with Different Shrimp Flours

This study aimed to determine the physical quality of native chicken eggs fed with diets containing different shrimp waste flour. The sample used was 16 layer native chickens. Chickens were reared out intensively and eggs and eggs were collected every afternoon. Feeding was done twice a day, 7:00 in the morning and 14:00 in the afternoon, while drinking water was given ad libitum. The design of this study uses a completely randomized design (CRD). The shrimp waste flour treatment in native chicken feed is P0 (feed without shrimp waste flour), P1 (feed + 3% shrimp waste flour), P2 (feed + 6% shrimp waste flour) and P3 (feed + 9% flour waste shrimp). The parameters observed in this study were egg weight, egg width, egg length, yolk color, yolk width, albumen width, yolk height, albumen height, and eggshell thickness. The results showed thad the addition of shrimp waste flour in the ration to a level of 9% had no significant effect (p> 0.05) on egg weight, egg width, egg length, yolk width, albumen width, yolk height, and albumen height, but had a significant effect (p < 0.05) to the color of the yolk layer of layered chicken eggs.

Effects of Gmelina arborea, Roxb leaf meal on egg characteristics of Coturnix coturnix japonica, Temmick

A thirty-six weeks feeding trial was conducted to determine the effect of inclusion of varying levels of Gmelina arborea on egg characteristics, using two (2) weeks old Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica). Ninety-six birds were allocated to four dietary treatment groups with three (3) replicates of eight (8) birds each in a completely randomized design comprising of control (C) containing 0 g/kg; T1, 50 g/kg; T2, 100 g/kg and T3, 150 g/kg of Gmelina arborea leaf meal. Feed and water were provided throughout the experimental period. Egg characteristics were the response criteria that were monitored and subjected to a one-way anova. There were significant (p<0.05) differences observed between treatments for mean egg number and egg shell weight, while no differences (p>0.05) were observed between treatments for eggs composition, weight of eggs, egg shell thickness, egg length, egg width, albumen height, albumen width, albumen weight, yolk height, yolk width, yolk weight. From this study, the egg laying performance and characteristics of eggs laid by birds suggested that among the treatments, up to 50 g/kg of Gmelina arborea leaf meal could be successfully included in quails’ diets without any adverse effect

Effects of Genotype and Oviposition Time on Egg Quality Traits of Commercial Laying Birds

This study aimed at investigating the effects of strain of layers and oviposition time on external and internal egg quality traits. The strains of layers used for this study are Isa Brown (IB), Bovan Nera (BN) and Dominant Black (DB). The time of oviposition investigated are 8-10am, 10-12noon, 12-2pm and 2-4pm. Freshly laid eggs were collected from the different strains during the aforementioned periods, and were taken to the laboratory for both external and internal egg quality analysis. Analyzed results showed that egg weight was not significantly (P>0.05) affected by strain. The three strains recorded similar mean values. Similar results were reported for other traits except egg length and shell thickness where significant differences were reported among the strains. BN and IB were superior to DB in terms of shell thickness. With regard to internal egg quality traits, significant (P<0.01) differences among strains were reported only for yolk weight and albumen width. Pertaining to oviposition effect, almost all the traits were significantly influenced by oviposition time. Both external and internal egg quality traits had superior (P<0.01) and higher mean values during morning than afternoon or evening collection. This might be due to very low temperature prevailing in the former and which encouraged the birds to eat more resulting to bigger egg size and higher egg compositions. Haugh unit in this study was not significantly affected by strain and oviposition time. It is suggested than management practices in laying farm such as lighting and feeding pattern be focussed on having more eggs laid in the morning session than afternoon or evening session.

Correlation Between Egg Weight and Egg Characteristics in Japanese Quail

A study was undertaken to predict the correlation between egg weight and egg characteristics in quail. Data was collected on 102 eggs collected from female quails at 28 weeks. Eggs were numbered, weighed and classified into six egg weight groups: below 9.0g, 9.0-9.5g, 9.6-10.0g, 10.1-10.5g, 10.6-11.0g, and above 11g group. There were 17 eggs per egg weight group. Data was collected on egg weight, shell weight, shell ratio, albumen height, albumen weight, albumen ratio, albumen index, yolk height, yolk diameter, yolk weight, yolk ratio and Haugh Unit. Data collected were analysed using the General Linear Model (GLM) procedure of the Genstat edition 11. The correlation between the various characteristics of egg were determined. The result shows that Albumen diameter, albumen length and albumen width were influenced by size of egg (<i>p</i><0.05). Albumen diameter and albumen length increases with increasing egg size. There was a positive correlation between egg length and albumen (0.448), albumen diameter (0.463), shell surface area (<i>p</i><0.01). Egg width, height, shape index, shell ratio and shell surface area were significantly (<i>p</i>>0.05) influenced by the sizes of quail eggs. The egg sizes of above 11g had the best egg length followed by 10.6g-11.0g, 10.1g-10.5g, 9.6g-10.5g, 9.0g-9.5g and below 9.0 g had the least egg length indicating a direct relationship between egg length and egg weight. The positive correlations between the internal and external egg quality traits indicated that the traits can be improved through selection.

Identification of Magelang Ducks to Analyze Morphological Diversity in Ngadirojo Village, Secang District, Magelang Regency

Magelang duck is one of the productive local poultry producing meat and eggs. This study aims to compare the production and quality of eggs between local ducks at duck breeding centers in Ngadirojo Village, Secang District, Magelang Regency. The material used was 11 samples of ducks and eggs from different breeders. Based on the results of the study it was found that the average morphological measurements in ducks are bodyweight of 1.94 kg, body length 30.67 cm, neck length 14.18 cm, chest circumference 39.09 cm, and body temperature 40.18 cm. The average quality of Magelang duck eggs is egg weight of 64.46 gr, egg index 1.24 cm, eggshell thickness 0.06 cm, egg length 5.63 cm, and egg diameter 4.54 cm. The average albumen weight was 26.47 gr, yolk weight 23.69 gr, albumen width 8.87 cm, yolk width 4.49 cm, albumen height 0.77 cm, and yolk height 2.00 cm. The morphology of duck size will greatly affect egg production. The weight of female and male ducks is almost the same, ranging from 1.5-2 kg. Magelang duck egg production is about one grain every day. Each egg production will be different. This can be influenced by several factors including the quality of the seeds and the feed system that is given. Standard normal egg weight ranges from 65-70 grams. In maintenance, every 10 female ducks will be added by 1 male duck. Keywords: Identification, Morphology, Magelang Duck, Ngadiroj

The effect of BAV addition as feed additive in laying hen ration on quality and chemical composition of egg

This study aimed to investigate the effect of BAV (blend of 9-natural EO mixed with iodized salt) as feed additive in the ration of laying hens, on the quality and chemical compositions of egg. Thirty laying hens (Lohmann Brown, aged 50 weeks) were divided into two groups (control and 2 g/kg BAV) and given for 6 six weeks. Data on hen daily average (HDA), feed intake, feed conversion ratio (FCR), egg quality (weight, length, width, albumen high and width, yolk high and width, yolk colour, shell thickness, shell weight and Haugh unit) and egg’s chemical composition (yolk cholesterol, yolk protein, albumen protein, xanthophyll) were analyzed. The results showed that BAV significantly increased HDA (P<0.05), and had no effect on feed intake and FCR. The addition of BAV increased yolk wide (P<0.05) and tend to improved egg mass and albumen width, but no difference on egg quality observed. The BAV significantly (P<0.05) decrease cholesterol content of yolk, but no effect to xanthophyll level and both of protein content of yolk and albumen. It is concluded that the addition of BAV as feed additive in the ration of laying hens has potential to improve the quality and chemical compositions of egg.

The effect of laying period on egg quality traits and chemical composition of Lindovskaya (Linda) geese reared under breeder conditions

The study was conducted to determine the effect of laying period on egg quality traits as well as the chemical composition of Lindovskaya geese. The egg quality traits were examined by randomly taking a total of 90 eggs on the 45th ± 5, 60th ± 5, and 75th ± 5 days of the laying period from 3-year-old female Lindovskaya geese. It was determined that the effect of the laying period on external quality traits of eggs was statistically nonsignificant (P > 0.05). The effect of laying period on internal quality traits including height, diameter, and index of the yolk and albumen was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The eggs collected on the 45th ± 5 day had higher values compared to eggs obtained on the other days in terms of yolk height, diameter, and index, as well as albumen length and albumen width. The effect of laying period on dry matter, protein, and ash ratio of the egg yolk and albumen was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Dry matter and protein ratios of the yolk and albumen reached their peaks on the 75th ± 5 day of the laying period. These results are the first data for identification of egg quality traits in Turkish-reared Lindovskaya geese. It was concluded that the quality of eggs obtained on the 45th ± 5 day of the laying period was higher than those obtained on the other two control days in terms of internal traits.

Calidad durante el almacenamiento de huevos de gallinas alimentadas con dietas con aceite de palma

Objetivo. Evaluar el efecto del aceite crudo de palma (ACP) sobre la calidad del huevo almacenado por varios días a diferentes temperaturas. Materiales y métodos. Un total de 240 gallinas de 28 semanas se alimentaron con dietas con 30g/kg de aceite de soya (AS) o ACP. Después de 12 semanas, muestras de huevos se almacenaron durante 0, 4, 8 y 12 días a 4, 12 y 24°C. Las características de calidad del huevo fueron evaluadas. Resultados. El huevo y la albúmina de gallinas en la dieta con ACP fueron más pesados que aquellos en la dieta con AS (p&lt;0.05). La alta temperatura de almacenamiento redujo el peso del huevo, albúmina y yema, unidades Haugh (UH), altura de la albúmina y la yema, pH y color (p&lt;0.05), pero aumentó el ancho de la albúmina y la yema, y la longitud de la albúmina (p&lt;0.05). A medida que aumentaba el tiempo de almacenamiento, el peso del huevo, el peso y la altura de la albúmina, y la altura de la yema, el pH y el color se redujeron (p&lt;0.05). Sin embargo, el peso y el ancho de la yema, el ancho y la longitud de la albúmina aumentaron (p&lt;0.05). Conclusiones. Las gallinas en la dieta con ACP tuvieron huevos y albuminas más pesadas que las de las de la adieta con AS.
