Evaluation of Key Egg Quality Parameters in Poultry: Measurement Techniques and Industry Implications

Poultry farming significantly contributes to India’s agricultural economy, offering income opportunities and nutritional benefits to small-scale farmers and egg quality is a critical factor in the poultry industry, influencing market value, consumer preference, hatchability, and overall production efficiency. This study evaluates key egg quality parameters and their measurement techniques, providing insights into their role in genetic selection, breeding efficiency, and poultry management. Key Parameters such as egg weight, dimensions, shell strength, yolk color, albumen height, Haugh unit, and yolk-to-albumen ratio are assessed using precision instruments, including Vernier calipers, micrometers, and electronic balances. Understanding these traits aids in optimizing poultry nutrition, enhancing egg quality, and ensuring industry s tandards. By examining genetic variations and environmental influences on egg characteristics, This study aims to enhance productivity and sustainability in poultry farming.
