Abstract. The study was carried out on eggs of two-year-old Orpington ducks (O1) and crossbred ducks Khaki Campbell×Orpington (KhO). Eggs for analysis were collected in the 6th and the 22nd week of egg laying. The eggs of KhO ducks had greater weight (72.45 g), specific gravity (1.083 g/cm3) and a thicker shell (0.67 mm) in comparison to eggs of the O1 population (70.64 g, 1.081 g/cm3 and 0.65 mm, respectively). Eggshell content accounted for 9.53% and 7.85% of egg weight in KhO and O1 ducks, respectively. Eggs of KhO ducks were characterized by a lower egg white index (0.07), yolk content (39.48%) and protein content of egg white as well as lower L* parameter of yolk than eggs of O1 ducks. In KhO eggs, yolk lipids contained more C 18:1 cis-9, C 20:4, C 22:6 and C 20:5 and less α C 18:3 and C 18:1 trans-11 fatty acids than those of O1 eggs. The eggs laid in the 6th week had greater weight (by 3.61 g), specific gravity (by 0.01 g/cm3), egg white content (by 2.26%), eggshell thickness (by 0.04 mm), strength (by 10.70 N) and deformation (by 0.90%), and lower yolk content (by 2.34%) than the eggs laid in the 22nd week of laying. Furthermore, the eggs laid at the beginning of the second laying period were characterized by higher protein content of egg white and yolk (by 0.26% and 0.49% respectively) and pH value of egg white and yolk, lower lightness of yolk (L*), higher unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) content of yolk (especially polyunsaturated fatty acids – PUFA, by 2.53%), and lower saturated fatty acids (SFA) content of yolk (by 3.10%) and total cholesterol content (by 2.38%).

This study aims to determine the characterization and comparative test of exterior and interior qualities including egg weight, eggshell thickness, egg shape, air cavity and interior including high albumin, egg yolk, and haugh egg unit from egg strain Isa Brown and Hyline Brown in different areas of Deli Serdang and Langkat regencies, North Sumatra Province in June-July 2017. The eggs used in this study were 400 eggs divided by 100 Isa Brown and 100 Hyline Brown from Denai Village, Pantai Labu Subdistrict, Regency Deli Serdang, then 100 Isa Brown and 100 Hyline Brown from Sei Limbat Village, Kecamatan Selesai, Langkat District. Each egg is collected directly from the chicken and then measured against the exterior and interior. The results showed that the characterization and comparative test of chicken eggs consumption of strains of Isa Brown and Hyline Brown in different regions had results(thit> ttable) with t test on comparative test I1: H1 and I2: H2 meaning egg of different strain showed different result also on egg weight parameter, shapeegg, shell weight, air cavity, egg white index, haugh unit, egg yolk index and yolk color. The comparative test I1: I2 showed no significant differences (thit <ttabel) on egg weight, shell thickness, shell weight, egg white index, haugh unit and egg yolk index, but showed significantly different (titable) results in egg shape, air cavity and yolk color, meaning there is environmental influence but not significant to other quality of egg with same strain in different region. In the H1: H2 comparative test the results were not significantly different (thit <ttabel) on all parameters except the color of egg yolks, meaning that no environmental or strain effect produced eggs of the same quality in different regions.

THE EFFECT OF GUAVA LEAF SOLUTION CONCENTRATION AND SOAKING DURATION ON THE QUALITY OF CHICKEN EGGS.      This study aims to determine the effect of guava leaf solution concentration and soaking time on the quality of chicken eggs. This research was conducted from November to December 2018, at the Laboratory of Animal Product Technology, Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Sam Ratulangi University, Manado. The method used is Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with a factorial pattern consisting of 2 factors. Factor A was the concentration of solution of guava leaves and factor B is the length of immersion with 4 replications. The treatments used are: Factor A concentration of solution of guava leaves A1 = 3%, A2 = 6%, A3 = 9%, A4 = 12%. Factor B was duration of immersion B1 = 6 hours, B2 = 12 hours, B3 = 18 hours, B4 = 24 hours. The variables analyzed were a decrease in egg weight, egg white index and egg yolk index. Data obtained were analyzed by variety. If there are significant differences between treatments, it will be continued with Duncan Test. The results of the variance analysis showed that the interaction had a significant effect (P <0.05) on the decrease in egg weight and did not significantly influence (P> 0.05) on the egg white index and egg yolk index. Duncan's Test results for decreasing egg weight showed the concentration of guava leaf solution 3% and soaking time 6 hours  gave good results for the quality of chicken eggs. It was concluded that the concentration of 3% and the soaking time of 6 hours gives good results on decreasing egg weight. As for the egg white index and egg yolk index showed good results with concentration of 12% and 24-hour immersion time. Keywords: Guava leaf, Egg weight, Egg white index, Egg yolk index.

Eggs of mottled sculpin, Cottus bairdi, from different parents varied in quantity and quality. Egg weight and number were positively correlated and increased with age and length of the maternal fish. Variation in egg quality included significant differences in water and energy content. Rate of development, metabolic rate, yolk conversion efficiency, and relative survival also varied among clutches. The variations in egg weight and initial water content were not significant to embryo survival. Clutch survival from fertilization to exogenous feeding was directly related to the initial energy concentration of the egg and inversely related to metabolic rate. Metabolic rate and survival were inversely and directly related, respectively, to the efficiency with which yolk was converted to tissue.
