The effect of age on the yolk:albumen (Y:A) ratio was studied for eggs obtained from Hy-Line W36 and Arbor Acres hens. Albumen weight was more closely associated with egg weight (EW) than yolk weight for both commercial layers and broiler breeder hens. A small positive relationship between EW and Y:A ratio was found. A significant increase in Y:A ratio was evident in older flocks from both breeds.
研究了年龄对来自海兰W36和艾维茵母鸡所产鸡蛋的蛋黄:蛋白(Y:A)比例的影响。对于商品蛋鸡和肉种鸡而言,蛋白重量与蛋重(EW)的关联比蛋黄重量更为紧密。发现蛋重与Y:A比例之间存在微弱的正相关关系。两个品种的老龄鸡群中,Y:A比例均显著增加。
