Research Note: Changes in eggshell quality and microstructure related to hen age during a production cycle

ABSTRACT: We have studied in detail the changes that occur in eggshell structure and composition during a production cycle in order to better understand the deterioration of eggshell quality with hen age (at 33, 45, and 67 wk). To study changes in eggshell ultrastructure and microstructure character...
