Although the production traits are still considered to be the main indicators
for calculating the production index, producers must increasingly take into
account the quality of eggs in order to meet consumer demand. The quality of
eggs is becoming an important factor, largely depending on the placement of
products on the market, and therefore the economic success of production. This
means that special attention should be paid to the quality of eggs (egg height,
length and width of the egg, egg shape index, cleanliness and color of the shell,
color of the yolk).
Therefore, the work placed emphasis mutual correlation connections and
dependencies between ground balls and qualities with light line hybrid Isa
Brown, during three age periods of laying hens.
By monitoring these indicators and determining the correlation connection
between these characteristics make it possible to better assessment of expression
of genetic potential of the respective hybrids on a private farm near Sarajevo,
Bosnia and Herzegovina.
