Measuring the eggshell strength of 6 different genetic strains of laying hens: techniques and comparisons.

British poultry science - 1 May 2002

Abstract excerpt

1. Eggshell quality was compared in 6 different strains of laying hens. Three strains were commercial; the three others were experimental. 2. Four different variables describing the strength of eggshells were investigated. Three of them were the classical ones eggshell thickness, shell stiffness measured during quasi-static compression and breaking force. Dynamic stiffness, introduced by Coucke (Ph.D. Thesis, KU...
