<b>Comparative study on the characteristics of egg shells of some bird species</b>
Egg shells of francolin, duck and turkey were compared for their physical and chemical characteristics. The range of weight of eggs and shells, respectively, were 25.2−74.9 and 5.23−9.40 g. Protein content was between 65.2−73.1 g/100 g; crude fat ranged from 2.54−8.54 g/100 g; crude fibre was low wi...

| description | Egg shells of francolin, duck and turkey were compared for their physical and chemical characteristics. The range of weight of eggs and shells, respectively, were 25.2−74.9 and 5.23−9.40 g. Protein content was between 65.2−73.1 g/100 g; crude fat ranged from 2.54−8.54 g/100 g; crude fibre was low with value range of 0.04−1.14 g/100 g; ash content range was 3.44−7.56 g/100 g. Total and essential amino acids, respectively, were between 189-353 and 98.1−188 mg/g and threonine was limiting. Gross energy ranged from 1556−1687 kJ/100 g. High concentrations of minerals were detected. |
