Layer 1
-
Egg shell
-
Shell membrane→mammillary layer→organic matrix layer→crystalline palisade layer→ vertical crystal layer →pigment layer →cuticle
-
-
-
Pigment layer
-
-
Major pigments: protoporphyrin (原卟啉) and biliverdin (胆绿素), from metabolism of hemoglobin (血红蛋白)
-
Pigment +++ in young hens and↓with advancing age, restored after molting
-
-
cuticle 角质层
Outermost, non-calcified 蛋白质层 (added just before laying)
Give smooth, glossy appearance, protects from microorganisms
-
Pores
-
An egg has 6,500 pores, +++ pores at blunt end over air cell
-
Egg size
-
Nutrition
Energy, methionine/cystine, total AA, linoleic acid, total fat
-
Phase feeding/formulating according to egg weight =↑ egg weight on earlier production, control egg weight on late production.
-
-
-
Good egg quality
-
Nutrition
-
Demand of 2–2.5 g Ca/egg produced, regardless of egg size
Unless molt & ↓estrogen, skeletal NOT replenished with Ca
Ca, P & Vit D in the layer diet
-
P is low in shell, but * for replenishing medullary bone
-
Mg, Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Vit K and certain AA some B Vits (Folic acid, Niacin, B12)
