Effect of Breed and Age of Hens on the Yolk to Albumen Ratio in Two Different Genetic Stocks
2001
Poultry Science
A commercial egg-type chicken (ISA Brown; CEC) and a dual-purpose pure breed of the Korean Native Chicken (KNC) were compared for yolk to albumen (Y:A) ratio and their major egg characteristics at seven different ages. The eggs from KNC were significantly (P < 0.01) lighter in egg, albumen, and shell weight than those from CEC. However, the yolk weight and Y:A ratio of the eggs from KNC were significantly (P < 0.01) heavier or larger than the ones of CEC. The effect of age on the yolk, shell
