Excerpt from Some Factors Affecting the Weight, Composition and Hatchability of Hen Eggs The tests indicate that when fowls are fed too scantily the fertility of the eggs will be low, but those which are fertile seem to hatch practically as well as the fertile eggs laid by the fowls fed heavily. Hatch 5 indicates that after fowls have been laying heavily for a considerable length of time their eggs are less fertile and do not hatch so well as eggs laid by fowls which are just reaching or have reached their maximum egg production for the season. There seems to be no great difference in the vigor of the chicks from the two lots of fowls, although what difference there is seems to be in favor of the chicks from the fowls fed scantily, ex cept in the case of the last hatch.

Excerpt from Some Factors Affecting the Weight of Eggs (Technical) Gilbert (1891) found that the eggs laid by hens in confinement were not SO large as those laid by the same hens When they had free range. Whether this result was due to. The additional exercise or to some other factor is impossible to determine as Atwood (1922) in one case found the eggs larger and m another case Slightly smaller as the result of confinement. The additional exercise resulting from running at large when taken in connection with a more perfectly balanced ration which frequently accompanies free range may be the means of increasing the egg weight.

Excerpt from Data on Certain Factors Influencing the Fertility and Hatching of Eggs There is a rather common belief that when hatching eggs run low in fertility the fault is chiefly or entirely in the male bird which is with the flock. For some reason which is difficult to understand very little influence is attributed in the popular mind to the females in causing poor results of this kind, the belief rather being that the male bird has an almost exclusive influence in determining fertility of eggs. It seems somewhat remarkable that this notion of the predominant influence of the male bird in determining the fertility of eggs among poultry should be so widespread, in view of the fact that the popular belief with reference to other domestic animals is exactly the opposite. For example, in cattle and horse breeding the fail ure of the female to become pregnant (the equivalent in part of the fertilization of the egg in poultry) is commonly attrib uted to some defect in the female rather than in the male. The standpoint which the known facts of biology lead one to take is that in all bisexual animals the influence of the two sexes is in general equal in determining whether any given egg shall or Shall not be fertilized. That is to say, there is on general grounds every reason to suppose that the infertility of eggs is as likely to be due to a defect of the female as to a defect of the male and vice versa. It seems desirable to determine with some precision whether this general statement is true for poultry or not. When the average fertility for a flock of hens runs low what proportion of this low fertility is to be attributed to the poor breeding performance of the hens and what proportion to the male birds? The practical importance of the question is obvious. If the man who is selling eggs for hatching can learn that one particular hen, for example, in his flock never pro duces a fertile egg, it will be greatly to the advantage of his trade to eliminate that bird from those which are producing his hatching eggs. In order to bring out with completeness and precision the comparative influence of male and female birds on the fertility of eggs Tables VII and VIII have been prepared. These tables Show for each breeding pen the following facts: (i) The band number of the cockerel which was placed in that pen.

The egg is a chemical storehouse-within an incubating egg a complicated set of chemical reactions take place that convert the chemicals into a living animal. Using hen eggs as a model, this new text explores the use of eggs for food, industrial, and pharmaceutical applications. It covers the chemistry, biology, and function of lipids; carbohydrates; proteins; yolk antibody (IgY); and other materials of eggs. The novel merits of egg materials over others used in the same products are also discussed. These areas of egg technology have never been compiled before in one source.
