CORRELATIVE ANALYSIS FOR SIZE OF EGG AND CALCIUM CARBONATE IN THE EGG SHELL OF DIFFERENT AVIAN EGGS

Dr. Padmanabha. B

Abstract :

Objectiveis to correlate the size and weight of the selected avian eggs with the calcium carbonate in their egg shells.

Materials and methods:By using digital Vernier caliper and digital balance the size and weight of egg was measured. The calcium carbonate in the egg shell was estimated.

Results and discussion:The size, weight of egg and calcium carbonateof egg shell was highest in Duck egg followed by turkey, farm chick, native chick, jungle fowl and lowest in pigeon. The result suggests that as the size and weight of egg increased the calcium content also increased.

Conclusion:The increase in the size and weight of avian eggs increases the calcium carbonate in their egg shells.
