Title: Certain Aspects Related to Eggs Yield and Quality in Some Japanese Quails Populations, Raised in Bihor County
Abstract: The paper presents data related to eggs yield and quality features in 3 quails (Coturnix coturnix Japonica) populations from Bihor County. 995 quails (750 females) were studied. The eggs yield (mean of the 3 farms), reached 41220.27 pcs. (142 eggs/quail/30 weeks period) while laying peak (70.60%) occurred when females turned 18 weeks old. Eggs quality varied between laying onset and its ending. Eggs weight was found within 9.2±0.6g–10.6±0.8g range; shell thickness between 0.128±0.004mm-0.089±0.005 mm. Values between 81.3±1.1%-83.2±0.7% were found for the Egg shape index; Haugh index was comprised within 79.5±0.7 H.U. (laying ceasing) - 83.3±1.1 H.U. (laying onset).
