The present investigation was aimed to evaluate the physical properties of exotic and indigenous breed eggs. The collected eggs were analyzed for external and internal qualities. A significant difference (tcal>ttab) was recorded in quality parameters like weight ( and g), surface area ( and cm2 ), volume ( and cm3 ), albumen width ( and mm), albumen height ( and mm), yolk height ( and mm), albumen weight ( and g), yolk weight ( and g), albumen ratio ( and ), yolk diameter ( and mm) and yolk: albumen ratio ( and )of exotic and indigenous breed eggs. It was observed that exotic breed eggs had a superior external and internal quality features when compared with indigenous breed eggs. However, the quality traits such as length, width, shape index, shell weight, shell thickness, shell ratio, albumen length, yolk length, yolk width, albumen index, yolk index, yolk ratio and Haugh unit have no much variation comparatively. Hence, on overall basis, the present study concludes that exotic breed eggs are considered for commercial usage. | Study on physical properties of exotic and indigenous breed eggs
