Egg quality traits were measured at 32, 40, 52, 64 and 72 wks of age
in a 3 way cross (PD1 x IWI x PD3) utilizing 20 to 30 eggs at different
ages. Egg weight, colour index, albumen and yolk index, Haugh unit, shell
thickness, shell % and albumen % differ significantly (p≤0.05) at different
age of measurements. Egg weight increases linearly upto 52 wks of age and
then it remain stable. Colour index significantly lower during beginning
and at later ages the index was higher. Shell thickness was highest during
52 wks of age but at other ages it remains non significant. Yolk index
significantly decreased at 72 wks of age compared to other ages of
measurements. Albumen index decreases as the age of measurements
increases. Haugh unit was significantly low at 72 wks of age compared to
64 and 40 wks of age. Yolk % increases as the age advances but it was
statistically non-significant, whereas albumen % decreased significantly at
52, 64 and 72 wks of age compared to 32 wks of age. Shell % increases as
the age advances. The results indicates that the age of the birds significantly
affect different parameters of egg quality and as the age advances, at the
end of cycle most of the quality parameters decreased in magnitude and the
yolk content increases compared to the albumen content.
