A Study Of Quality Traits Of Duck And Goose Eggs Selected From Different Areas Of Oyo Metropolis, Southern Guinea Zone Of Nigeria

Abstract

A study of quality traits of duck and goose eggs selected from different areas of Oyo metropolis, Southern Guinea Zone of Nigeria was investigated. A total number of 480 eggs (240 each of duck and goose eggs) were used for the study and 20 each of the species eggs were taken for measurement on weekly bases. Data were obtained on quality traits such as egg weight (g), egg length (mm), egg width (mm), shell weight (g), shell thickness, yolk weight (g), yolk length (mm), yolk height (mm), yolk circumference (mm), yolk index, albumen weight (g), albumen height (mm), albumen index and haugh unit. Significant (P<0.05) effect was observed between the quality traits measured and the eggs from duck and goose. Duck eggs were better for egg weight (70.45g), egg length (62.34mm), shell weight (7.80g), shell thickness (0.49) and shell index (67.35) than the goose eggs. Most of the internal quality traits were also in favoured of ducks eggs for yolk weight (30.50g), yolk length (54.88mm), yolk circumference (6.66mm), yolk index (33.89), albumen index (7.89) and haugh unit (73.24) than the goose eggs while only albumen height was better for goose eggs of value 4.49mm. It can be concluded that there are significant variability in most of quality traits observed which favoured the duck eggs than eggs from goose.
