The Correlation between Egg Internal Components and Egg Dimensions Detected by Using Image Processing in Japanese quail

The current study was done in the animal production department, college of agriculture, University of Kirkuk from 25/9/2022 until 15/2/2023, to study the effect of internal egg traits on the egg axis by using image-processing program. Two hundred eighteen fertilized eggs were collected from the Japanese white quail flock. After collecting the eggs, visual studio 2017 was used to getting the W and Y-axis. As well as the data was analyzed by using general linear model (GLM) with SPSS v18 program to find the effect of egg external measurements on the studied traits. Pearson’s coefficients of correlation (r) among egg weight and the internal egg traits were estimated. It was concluded that the effect of the albumin weight on the W and Y-axis was same, but the yolk weight effect on the Y-axis more than W-axis.
