Eggshell colour is the unique appearance and economically valuable trait of eggs, whereas often short uniformity, especially in blue-shelled breeds, hence, their pigment differences molecular mechanism need clarity. To investigate relationship between content eggshells related gene expression eggshell glands chickens, four subtypes eggs ('Olive', 'Green', 'Blue', 'Light') from same blue-eggshell chicken line were selected; Hy-Line 'White' 'Brown'-shelled used as control groups. The L*, a*,...

An experimental population of chickens was developed from the cross between 2 indigenous Chinese breeds, Dongxiang blue eggshell and Jiangshan black-bone. This breeding aimed at eventually combining dark heavy black-bone body eggshell, into a single dual-purpose breed. BW recorded skin L∗, a∗, b∗ color parameters were measured by Chroma Meter several ages (56, 105, 150, 200, 250, 300 d). At 250 d, 3 independent observers classified darkness using 3-level visual scale (1 = light,...

The BG line, originated by crossing 2 Chinese indigenous breeds, Dongxiang blue eggshell and Jiangshan black-bone, has been bred for black carcass blue-greenish eggs. Aiming to study the genetic parameters selection aspects of these colors, 4 colorimeter (L*, a*, b*, SCI = L*-a*-b*) were measured on ∼5 eggs/hen/age (200 d 300 d) from each hen in 3 generations (G4 452, G5 508, G6 498). Visual color was classified as either "Light," "Blue," "Green," or "Olive," data G4 indicated that visual...

The BG line was originated from the cross between 2 Chinese indigenous breeds, Dongxiang blue eggshell, and Jiangshan black-bone, has been bred to combine dark heavy black-bone body high production of blue-shell eggs, into single dual-purpose line. Full-pedigree hens generations, G4 (n = 441) G5 464), were reared in same single-cage laying facility 2019-2020 2020-2021, respectively. Starting first egg each hen, its daily recorded until 300 days-of-age. Up 7 "no-egg" days considered normal...

To compare the physical and chemical changes in egg whites during storage, assisting evaluation of differences freshness between various chicken breeds, we chose 240 blue-shelled eggs (Blue group) commercial brown-shelled (Brown that 28-week-old hens had laid. In this study, all were stored at 25 °C. The weight, components' weight proportion, Haugh Unit value contents S-ovalbumin, ovomucin lysozyme thick albumen (KA) thin (NA) measured eight time points every 3 days until 21st day storage....
