A study on eggshell pigmentation: biliverdin in blue-shelled chickens.

Poultry science - 1 Mar 2006

Zhao R, Xu G Y, Liu Z Z, Li J Y, Yang N

Abstract excerpt

Biliverdin is an important pigment in the eggshell of chickens and other avian species. Determination of the biosynthesis site for biliverdin is essential for understanding the biochemical process and genetic basis of eggshell pigmentation. Either blood or the shell gland could be the biosynthesis site of eggshell biliverdin. A segregation population with full-sib sisters genotyped Oo and oo, which laid...
