Abstract excerpt

Egg quality is an important feature in egg production and is affected by many factors, including the genetic makeup of the bird. However, the influence of the chicken genotype on egg quality traits is limited and inconclusive. Therefore, this study aimed to highlight the influence of genotype on the external and internal egg quality traits of the Potchefstroom Koekoek and Lohmann Brown layers. A total of 600 eggs...
