A comparison of some egg geometry parameters in four close-bred stocks of Japanese quail

Present study was conducted to evaluate some egg geometry parameters in four close-bred stocks Major [(M), Kaleem (K), Saadat (S) and Zahid (Z)] of Japanese quail at Avian Research and Training Centre UVAS, Lahore. For this purpose, 144 eggs (36 eggs from each CBS) were subjected to egg geometry parameters (shape index, surface area and volume). Statistical analysis according to CRD with one way ANOVA technique, comparison of mean by using DMR test with the help of SAS 9.1 revealed significant differences among four close-bred stocks regarding surface area and volume. However, shape index remained non-significant.
