Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different age and plumage color on the egg quality traits and cholesterol levels, in addition to which traits can be used for egg weight prediction in Japanese quails. The eggs obtained from 23-week-old original plumage colored Japanese and Jumbo quails, and 39-week-old Jumbo quails; 40, 40, and 20 eggs were used respectively as the research material. The eggs obtained from 23-week-old original plumage colored Japanese and Jumbo quails, and 39-week-old Jumbo quails; 40, 40, and 20 eggs were used respectively as the research material. In terms of plumage color difference, when Japanese quails were compared to Jumbo quails; yolk weight, yolk height, yolk diameter were higher, and likewise the cholesterol level was lower (P<0.01). The lowest cholesterol content was found in eggs from 23-week-old Japanese quail (P<0.01). Egg width, shape index, yolk height, and shell weight in group 1; albumen weight, yolk diameter, and egg volume in group 2; egg volume and egg length data in group 3 have determined the best fit for estimation of the egg weight. As a result, the plumage color is a factor that affected the egg quality traits and cholesterol level in quails. Furthermore, some egg quality traits may be used to establish the equations for estimation of the egg weight. Keywords: Age; Egg quality traits; Egg weight estimation; Plumage color; Quail

日龄和羽色对日本鹌鹑蛋重及蛋品质性状的影响

本研究旨在探讨不同年龄和羽毛颜色对日本鹌鹑蛋品质性状和胆固醇水平的影响，并探讨其可用于蛋重预测的性状。23周龄原产羽色日本鹌鹑和巨型鹌鹑蛋，以及39周龄巨型鹌鹑蛋;分别用40只、40只和20只鸡蛋作为研究材料。23周龄原产羽色日本鹌鹑和巨型鹌鹑蛋，以及39周龄巨型鹌鹑蛋;分别用40只、40只和20只鸡蛋作为研究材料。在羽毛颜色的差异方面，当日本鹌鹑与巨型鹌鹑进行比较时;蛋黄重、蛋黄高、蛋黄直径显著高于对照组，胆固醇水平显著低于对照组(P<0.01)。23周龄日本鹌鹑蛋胆固醇含量最低(P<0.01)。1组鸡蛋宽度、形状指数、蛋黄高度、壳重;2组蛋白重、蛋黄直径、鸡蛋体积;第3组的蛋体积和蛋长数据确定了最适合估算蛋重的数据。因此，羽毛颜色是影响鹌鹑蛋品质性状和胆固醇水平的一个因素。此外，一些蛋品质的性状可以用来建立估算蛋重的方程。关键词:年龄;蛋品品质性状;蛋重估算;羽毛的颜色;鹌鹑
