The objective of this study was to assess the external and internal quality traits of eggs in wholesale egg market in Colombo, Sri Lanka and the effect of storage period in egg quality traits in the same market after receiving the eggs. First, a total of 482 fresh eggs were randomly collected from the above market and external egg quality traits were determined and recorded according to the definitions given in the Specification for Chicken Egg SLS 959:1992. After that, a total of 288 fresh eggs were randomly collected and various external and internal egg quality traits were measured and recorded according to the standard procedures over a storage period of 1, 3 and 5 d after receiving the fresh eggs to the wholesale market. Information about the shops was also collected using a pretested questionnaire. Using the recorded data, shape index, Haugh unit, albumen index and yolk index were calculated for each egg. Average weight, width, length and shape index of the eggs in the sample was 59.96 g, 4.33 cm, 5.78 cm and 75.03, respectively. Average shape index value was much closer to the standard value of 74. From the total sample 80.5% eggs had a normal and sound shape. However only 60.37% of the eggs are in the desirable quality range specified in SLS 959:1992, when the overall shell quality of the sample is considered based on shell cleanliness, defects and shape. The results of the current study indicated that eggs had significant (p<0.05) deterioration of all internal quality parameters tested with increasing storage time. However the effect was not significant (p>0.05) between the storage periods of 3 and 5 d after receiving eggs except for yolk color and yolk height. Desirable category of eggs had reduced and rejections had increased with the storage period. Main problems associated with the particular market were less space availability, higher percentages of dirty eggs, unavailability of proper packaging materials, no standard packaging system for eggs, and not implementing a standard grading system for eggs. Therefore the results of this study suggest that proper egg handling and storage conditions such as low temperature storage may be implemented to increase the proportion of desirable quality eggs in the above market.

The Effects of Dietary Supplemental Charcoal Extract (CE) were examined on performance of 19-week-old ISA Brown hens for 12weeks. Four hundred and fifty were randolmy assigned to 0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1% dietary CE, respectively with five replicates of 18 hens per pen. Basal diets contained 17.5% CP and 2,800 ME. Egg production egg weight, feed conversion(FC), and egg qualities were measured in every four weeks. Egg production and FC was slightly improved in 0.05% supplemental CE group compared to that of other treatments, but was not signhificant different. Average egg weight was significantly higher in 0.025% and 0.1% than other treatments(P<0.05). Total egg mass tended to be higher in 0.05% supplementation. Daily feed intake increased in 0.1% supplementation than the others, but was not statistically different. Eggshell breaking strength and Haugh unit were tended to be higher in 0.05% supplementation. There were no significant difference in eggshell thickness and yolk color of all treatments.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of germinated and fermented unmarketable soybean (GFS) on laying performance and egg quality in laying hens. A total of two hundred laying hens were divided into 5 groups (5 treatment $\times$ 4 replication $\times$ 10 birds each) and fed with the experimental diets for 8 wk as follows: control, GFS free; T1, GFS 0.15%; T2, GFS 0.3%; T3, GFS 1%; T4, GFS 2%. The laying performance, egg quality, blood profiles, cecal microbial population, isoflavone content in egg yolk were investigated. There were no significant differences laying performance, relative liver and spleen weights, egg yolk color, eggshell color among groups. Eggshell strength in groups fed with diets containing GFS increased, but not significantly. Eggshell thickness significantly increased in the GFS-supplemented group. No significant differences were observed in the blood profiles and intestinal microflora after supplementation. The decrease of Haugh unit during storage was alleviated by feeding of GFS (p<0.05). The concentrations of malondialdehyde in groups fed with GFS were decreased as compared with control (p<0.05). Isoflavones in the egg yolk were detected in group fed with diet containing 2% GFS. These results showed that unmarketable GFS could be used as a favorable feed additive and feedstuff for production of quality enhanced and isoflavone fortified eggs.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the dietary effect of garlic powder (GP) and copper (Cu) on laying performances and the cholesterol content and quality characteristics of eggs during storage in laying hens. A total of one hundred and eighty, 50-wk-old, Hy-Line Brown layers were divided into 6 groups with 3 replicates per group (10 layers per replicate) and fed one of six diets containing GP 0%, GP 1%, GP 3%, GP 5%, Cu 200 ppm, or GP 3%-Cu 200 ppm for 5 wks. There were no differences in the laying performances and feed intakes bertween treatments. Eggshell strength, eggshell thickness and yolk color were also not affected by feeding of GP and Cu. With increasing dietary GP, Haugh unit was linearly increased after 2 wk of storage (p<0.05). The levels of serum total cholesterol in hens fed diets containing GP or Cu were lower than that of the control (p<0.05), but high density lipoprotein-cholesterol was not influenced by dietary GP or Cu. The content of egg yolk cholesterol from hens fed diets containing GP or Cu was significantly decreased from that of the control, except for the GP 1% group. Based on the results of this experiment, the decrease of Haugh unit during storage was alleviated by feeding of GP. The feeding of GP or Cu alone and in combination altered the cholesterol fractions in serum and reduced the content of egg yolk cholesterol in laying hens.

Effects of dietary ${\delta}$-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) supplementation on serum iron status, blood characteristics, egg production and quality were examined in laying hens in an 8-week feeding trail. Two hundred and forty (Hy-line brown, 40-week-old) layers were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments with ten replications (six layers in adjacent three cages). Dietary treatments included: 1) CON (basal diet), 2) ALA1 (CON+ALA 5 ppm), 3) ALA2 (CON+ALA 10 ppm) and 4) ALA3 (CON+ALA 15 ppm). All nutrient levels of diets were formulated to meet or exceed NRC (1994) recommendations for laying hens. During the entire experimental period, differences of serum iron concentration and total iron binding capacity (TIBC) were significantly increased in ALA1 supplemented treatment (quadratic effect, p<0.05). The difference of total protein between 8 and 0 weeks was significantly higher in ALA2 treatment than CON treatment (quadratic effect, p<0.05). No significant effects were observed on hemoglobin, WBC, RBC, lymphocyte and albumin concentrations. Egg production and egg weight were not influenced by the ALA supplementation. Egg yolk index was also significantly higher in ALA3 treatment than CON treatment at the end of 4 and 8 weeks (linear effect, p<0.05). Haugh unit was increased in ALA3 treatment compared to CON and ALA1 treatments at the end of 8 weeks (linear effect, p<0.05). However, egg shell thickness, breaking strength and yolk color unit were not affected by the ALA supplementation. In conclusion, dietary ALA supplementation at a level of 5 ppm can affect iron concentration in serum while higher levels (10 or 15 ppm) have some beneficial influences on blood profiles and egg quality.

본 시험은 양질의 미국산 DDGS를 산란계 사료에 첨가하여 산란계의 생산성, 계란의 품질 및 난황 지질의 총지방 함량과 지방산 조성에 미치는 영양적 가치를 평가하고자 하였다. 또한, 가파르게 상승하고 있는 옥수수와 대두박을 대체할 원료 사료로써의 DDGS의 경제성을 검토하기 위해 실시하였다. 23주령의 Hy-line Brown 계통의 산란계 216수에 DDGS를 각각 0%, 10%, 20%를 첨가한 3가지의 동에너지 (TMEn 2,780 kcal/kg)-동단백질(17%) 사료를 10주간 급이하였다. 실험 설계는 3처리 6반복, 반복당 12수씩을 완전 임의배치하였다. 사료 섭취량, 산란율 및 난생산 사료 요구율 등의 산란 생산성은 모든 처리구 사이에 유의한 차이가 없었다(P>0.05). 실험 사료 급여 후 5주째와 10주째에 측정한 난각색, 난백고 및 Haugh unit는 DDGS 첨가에 의한 영향을 받지 않았다. 난각 무게, 난각 두께, 난각 강도와 같은 난각질에서는 5주째에는 영향을 받지 않았으나, 10주째에는 DDGS 20%구에서 유의하게 감소하였다(P<0.05). 난황색도의 경우 5주째와 10주째 공히 DDGS 0%구에 비해서 DDGS 20%구에서 유의하게 증가하였다(P<0.05). 난황 비율은 DDGS 20%구에서 DDGS 0%구에 비하여 유의하게 감소하였다(P<0.05). 난황의 총 지방 함량은 처리구 사이에 차이가 없었다. 난황의 일가불포화 지방산 함량은 DDGS 첨가에 의하여 감소하였으며, 다가불포화 지방산 함량은 DDGS 20%구에서 유의하게 증가하였다(P<0.05). DDGS 첨가는 난황 지방산의 불포화도에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 각 처리구별 시험 사료의 kg당 단가는 DDGS 사용량이 증가할수록 저렴하게 나왔다. 계란 1 kg의 생산 비용도 DDGS 10%, DDGS 20%, DDGS 0% 순서로 저렴하게 나타나고 있어서, DDGS가 옥수수-대두박을 대체할 수 있는 경제성이 충분하다고 판단된다. 결론적으로 산란계 사료에서 DDGS를 20%까지 사용 할 경우 생산성의 큰 변화없이 경제성이 대조구보다는 우수하지만, DDGS를 10% 정도 첨가하여 사용하는 것이 더 경제적이라고 사료된다.

White (Lohmann LSL) and Brown (ATAK-S) laying hens, were reared under organic and conventional cage rearing systems, and the effects of the rearing system on performance parameters, egg production, egg characteristics, and immune response were investigated. For this purpose, a total of 832 laying hens of two commercial hybrids, i.e., 416 white (Lohmann LSL) and 416 Brown (ATAK-S) layers, were used. The experiment lasted between 23 and 70 wk of age. In this study, the white layers yielded more eggs as compared to the brown layers in both organic and conventional production systems. Egg weight exhibited a similar pattern to that of laying performance. However, the total hen-housed egg number for the white birds in the organic system was fewer than that of white birds in the conventional cage facility; conversely, a contradictory tendency was observed for the brown birds. Livability of the white layers in the organic system was remarkably lower (14%) than that of the brown line, whereas the white line survived better (3.42%) than their brown counterparts in conventional cages. The feed conversion ratio of the white hens was markedly inferior in the organic system as compared to that of the white hens in the conventional system, whereas relatively lower deterioration was reported in brown layers when reared in an organic system. The organic production system increased egg albumen height and the Haugh unit in eggs of the brown layers. The yolk color score of organic eggs was lower than that of conventional eggs for both brown and white hens. The egg yolk ratio of eggs from white layers was found to be higher in organic eggs as compared to those obtained in the conventional system. All organic eggs had heavier shells than those produced in the conventional system. Eggs from brown layers had more protein content than eggs from white layers. Neither housing systems nor genotype influenced egg yolk cholesterol concentration. When compared to conventional eggs, n-3 fatty acid content was lower in organic eggs, and the n-6:n-3 ratio was higher in organic eggs. In conclusion, two hen genotypes showed different responses in terms of performance and egg quality to two different rearing systems. A commercial white strain produced more eggs with higher egg quality as compared to a native brown strain. The brown strain was found to have adapted well to organic production conditions when survival and total egg number was taken into consideration.

본 연구는 클로렐라 건조분말을 산란계의 사료에 첨가해서 계란의 품질과 난황의 지방산 조성에 미치는 영향에 대해서 분석하였다. 시험에 사용한 유기 산란계 사료의 수분함량은 약 12.8%, 회분함량은 10.8%, 조단백질함량은 18.0%, 조지방 함량은 2.5%이었다. 사료에 첨가한 클로렐라분말의 수분함량은 약 1.54%, 회분함량은 6.53%, 조단백질은 54.56%, 조지방 함량은 2.45%이었다. 계란 난각의 색깔은 클로렐라를 급여한 후, 시간의 경과에 따라 대조구에 비해 유의적으로 진해졌다. 파각강도는 클로렐라를 급여한 후, 10일까지 증가하였으며 대조구에 비해 유의적으로 강하였다. 계란 난각의 두께도 클로렐라를 급여한 것이 대조구에 비해 유의적으로 두꺼웠다. 클로렐라 급여한 계란 난백의 높이는 대조구에 비해 높았다. 계란 난백의 품질 기준이 되는 호유닛은 클로렐라를 급여한지 10일 후, 92.0 HU로 대조구(84.8 HU)에 비해 유의적으로 높았다. 클로렐라를 급여한 계란 난황의 황색도도 대조구에 비해 유의적으로 진한 황색을 나타내었다. 클로렐라를 급여한 계란의 무게는 급여 15일 후, 대조구에 비해 7.5% 증가하였으며, 단백질함량은 급여 10일과 15일 후, 대조구에 비해 각각 11.9%, 10.7% 증가하였다. 클로렐라 급여에 따른 계란 노른자의 지방산 함량의 변화를 조사한 바, 난황의 주요 지방산 조성은 oleic acid, trans-linoleic acid, palmitic acid, ${\alpha}$-linolenic acid, stearic acid, DHA, EPA, palmitoleic acid, heptadecanoic acid 순으로 나타났다. Palmitoleic acid는 클로렐라를 급여한 처리구가 대조구에 비해 감소하였다. 포화지방산은 클로렐라를 급여한 계란보다 대조구에서 높게 나타났고, 불포화지방산은 대조구보다 클로렐라를 급여한 계란에서 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 불포화지방산과 포화지방산의 비율은 대조구보다 클로렐라를 급여한 계란이 높았다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 클로렐라 생균분말을 산란계의 사료에 첨가해서 급여할 경우 계란의 품질 향상과 난황의 불포화지방산 함량을 높이는데 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다.
