The Impact

The aim of the study was to evaluate table and hatching eggs of Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) depending on the eggshell colour. The research was carried out in two stages, in terms of table eggs’ quality and their biological value as hatching eggs depending on the eggshell colour. In both stages, 300 Japanese quail eggs were used in each (600 in total) divided into two equal groups: with a brown-spotted shell, with a uniform shell in shades of blue. In the 1st stage, quality characteristics of the whole egg (weight, specific gravity, proportions of particular elements), yolk (weight, colour, index), albumen (weight, height) and shell (colour, strength, weight, thickness, density) were evaluated. In the 2nd stage, eggs were incubated under standard conditions and following biological characteristics were analyzed: eggs fertility, embryo mortality, hatchability of fertile and set eggs, body weight of hatchlings and their proportion in egg weight. The shell colour, “blue” or spotted, of Japanese quail eggs, does not appear to influence their quality if they are intended for consumption. However, the hatching results and body weight of obtained chicks of Japanese quail may be affected by the eggshell colour.

This study was conducted to appraise the effects on egg quality and production performance of laying hens when drinking water was supplemented with calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg). A total of 384 (64-week-old) Hy-line Brown laying hens were assigned at random to four treatments, which consisted of CON: unsupplemented drinking water; T1: drinking water + 2 mg/L Ca + 250 mg/L Mg; T2: drinking water + 4 mg/L Ca + 510 mg/L Mg /10 L; and T3: drinking water + 5 mg/L Ca and 760 mg/L Mg. The experiment lasted six weeks. Water intake increased linearly in week 1 with the rising levels of Ca and Mg in the drinking water. Increasing the Ca and Mg levels improved eggshell strength (week 2 (P =0.01), week 5 (P =0.01), and week 6 (P = 0.03), and eggshell thickness (week 6) (P =0.02) and reduced the rate at which eggs were broken (week 4) (P =0.01). The supplemental Ca and Mg did not affect egg production, egg weight, Haugh unit, albumen height, eggshell colour, and yolk colour compared with CON. Nor did they influence the Haugh unit and albumen height after storing for 1, 5, 10 and 15 days. In conclusion, adding Ca and Mg to the drinking water increased the thickness and strength of the eggshells.

Abstract Over the last decade, there has been an increased consumer interest in niche food products with special aroma and flavour, and rich in nutrients. Poland has a large (19 lines) and valuable collection of laying hens enrolled in the genetic resources conservation programme. Research to date has shown these hen breeds to vary in phenotype, productivity, and biological quality of hatching eggs and meat. A significant problem in using hens for both egg and meat production is that the number of unwanted cockerels increases with increasing intensity of egg production. This problem can be overcome by castration of cockerels. Roosters were sterilized long before Christ, first as a religious ritual and then to increase the body weight of birds. The qualities of capon meat were noticed much later when it turned out to be more delicate, juicy and tender compared to rooster meat. The aim of this paper was to review the literature on capon production, including the effects of castration on the bird’s body and on the quality of meat obtained.

Abstrak Penelitian mengenai korelasi genetik dan fenotipik bobot badan umur empat minggu dengan bobot telur telah dilaksanakan di Program Studi Peternakan Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Majalengka. Tujuan penelitian yaitu untuk mempelajari korelasi genetik dan fenotipik bobot badan umur empat minggu dengan bobot telur. Percobaan dilakukan pada 369 ekor puyuh betina yang merupakan keturunan pertama dari pejantan 60 ekor dan betina 120 ekor yang ditetaskan dalam 3 periode penetasan. Metode penelitian menggunakan hubungan saudara tiri sebapak (paternal halfsib correlatian) dengan pola (nested unequal subclass number). Parameter genetik yang diamati yaitu heritabilitas, korelasi genetik dan korelasi fenotipik bobot badan umur empat minggu bobot telur. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa nilai heritabilitas bobot badan umur empat minggu dan bobot telur yaitu 0,563+0,226 dan 0,584+0,281 termasuk kategori tinggi. Nilai korelasi genetik dan fenotipik bobot badan umur empat minggu dengan bobot telur yaitu 0,824+0,187 dan 0,693+0,245. Hal demikian menunjukan bahwa seleksi untuk bobot telur dapat dilakukan pada bobot badan umur empat minggu Kata kunci : heritabilitas, korelasi genetik dan fenotipik, bobot badan dan bobot telur puyuh Abstract The research was conducted at animal husbandry studi program faculty of agricultural Majalengka University. The object of research were study about four-week body weight and eggs weight heritability’s, and than genetic and fenotipic correlation between four-week body weight and eggs weight. Material used were 369 female japanese quail from 60 sire and 120 dam from third periode of hacthery. The method which applied was experimental.

An experiment to determine the relationship between egg weight, hatch weight and subsequent body weight of the Japanese quail was conducted. A total of 607 eggs collected over 6 days from an existing flock at the Animal Pavilion of the University of Ilorin were used for the experiment. Eggs were individually numbered, weighed and grouped into small (S) medium (M) and large (L) sized eggs based on the mean and standard deviation of the eggs. Mean egg weight were correlated and regressed with mean hatch weight and subsequent weight. Average egg weights were 10.23± 0.84g, 8.49± 0.72g and 6.94± 0.93g for the large, medium and small group respectively. The result showed relationship between egg weight and hatch weight were positive and highly significant (P < 0.01) with values of 0.973, 0.977 and 0.967 for small, medium and large groups, respectively. Relationship between hatch weights and weekly body weights were also positive and significant (P<0.01) for the medium and large groups only but decreased with age. Linear regression equation showed a significant coefficient of determination for weekly body weight using the values for small, medium and large egg weight values. The results of the study showed that egg weight can be reliably used for estimating body weight in Japanese quail and may be used as criteria for early selection of Japanese quail for body weight.
