The aim is to compare the quality characteristics of hatching eggs from two genotypes of chicken parents at varying ages.
A total of 1200 eggs were collected from 552 females across three pens.
Eggs were harvested at ages of 34, 44, 54, and 64 weeks.
Quality metrics evaluated include egg weight, albumen height, egg width, egg length, and shape index.
Egg weight was found to be 3 g heavier in Cobb-500 compared to Anadolu-T (p<0.05).
The Haugh unit, indicating albumen quality, was significantly higher in Cobb-500 (p<0.05).
Cobb-500 had thicker shells (p<0.05), but no significant difference in shell breaking strength was noted (p>0.05).
