Evaluation Of Egg Quality Conditions In Omdurman Locality
Journal Title: Journal of Applied Veterinary Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
This study was carried out to assess the extent of quality deteriorations of eggs sold at the Sabrin market, Omdurman and to determine their suitability for human consumption. A hundred eggs produced by Bovans white breed (fifty eggs from the farm and another fifty eggs from an ordinary shop in Sabrin market) in Omdurman North locality were collected and divided into 5 groups each containing 20 eggs. Group one was tested at the time of collection. Each of the rest 4 groups was further subdivided into 2 groups, one stored in a refrigerator and the other under room temperature. Eggs in each group were subjected to quality measurements at the end of weeks one, two, three and four. Egg weight, shell strength, albumin height, and Haugh unit were the parameters measured to test the effects of storage on table egg quality. Results showed significant differences between eggs obtained from the poultry farm and those collected from the Sabrin market in egg weight, albumen height, and Haugh unit during the different periods of storage. No difference in eggshell strength between treatments was seen. The study concluded that eggs sold at open markets such as the Sabrin market may have low quality questioning their suitability for human consumption.
