Abstract

There are many factors and environmental conditions affecting the quality and capacity of eggs produced by quail birds. We assessed the effect of storage on the mass dynamics of quail eggs after they were produced by the birds. The study was performed  on quail eggs to ensure their quality using a formula to calculate the theoretical value of the quail egg volume (cm3): V = 0.485 × D × d × d/1000, where D is the longitudinal diameter (mm); d is the transverse diameter (mm). Statistical processing of practical results was performed  using the data analysis package (SPSS). It was found that when eggs are stored for 10 days after laying at a temperature of  10-15 °С, the egg weight decreased on average by 2.6%, and the density by 2.1%. Eggs are considered one of the most important products due to containing a rich source of protein. Storing eggs in quails negatively affects the quality of eggs.
