Abstract:

【Objective】 In this study, the changes of egg physical and eggshell quality properties from peak to late phase of production (31 to 80-wk-old) of Hy-Line Brown layers were observed to investigate the critical period when eggshell quality deteriorated and the changes of eggshell structure and components, so as to provide reference for improving the eggshell quality of the late phase of production. 【Method】 A total of 84 healthy 30-wk-old Hy-Line Brown layers were randomly divided into 7 replicates with 12 birds each. All hens had free access to corn-soybean meal basal diet and water for 50 weeks. Three eggs per replicate were collected every day for 3 consecutive days at the hen age: 31, 36, 41, 46, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75 and 80-wk-old, and then eggshell physical and mechanical properties were tested. Eggshell from the hens aged: 31, 41, 50, 60, 70 and 80-wk-old was tested the following items, eggshell ultrastructure of cross section and inner surface by scanning electron microscope, the crystal structure by X-ray diffraction analyzer, organic content by burning method, total eggshell protein content by Coomassie brilliant blue method, and eggshell calcium and phosphorus content by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. 【Result】 (1) Egg weight, egg length and eggshell area of 31 to 80-wk-old were increased linearly (P<0.01). Eggshell weight, eggshell percentage, eggshell thickness and eggshell index were increased and then decreased with hen age increasing (P<0.05). After 50-wk-old, eggshell strength and eggshell fracture toughness were decreased significantly (P <0.05), and reached the lowest value from 65 to 80-wk-old (P<0.05). (2) Based on the principal component loading analysis of eggshell quality, in PC1, the load values of eggshell strength, eggshell percentage, eggshell fracture toughness and eggshell index were higher, while in PC2, the loading values of eggshell weight, eggshell thickness and eggshell area were higher. According to properties of eggshell quality, the laying cycle was divided into 2 stages of 31 to 50-wk-old and 55 to 80-wk-old, and the later could further be divided into 55 to 60-wk-old and 65 to 80-wk-old. (3) For eggshell ultrastructure, mammillary thickness and rate of 70 and 80-wk-old were significantly lower than those of 31 to 60-wk-old (P<0.05), and mammillary knob density was significantly lower than that of 31-wk-old (P<0.05). (4) There were no significant changes in the contents of organic matter and total protein, per unit area and per eggshell and no significant change in calcium content per eggshell (P>0.05), but the calcium content per unit area of 70 and 80-wk-old were decreased significantly (P<0.05). The phosphorus content of 60, 70 and 80-wk-old was significantly lower than others (P<0.05), while the phosphorus content per eggshell and per unit area were significantly lower than those of 31-wk-old (P<0.05). (6) The eggshell mechanical properties was significantly positively correlated with the thickness of calcified layer and effective layer, mammillary knob density, effective layer rate, calcium content per unit area and the content of phosphorus, per eggshell and per unit area (P<0.05), was significantly negatively correlated with mammillary layer rate (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 According to eggshell physical and mechanical properties, the laying cycle of Hy-Line Brown layers could be divided into 2 stages: 31 to 50-wk-old and 55 to 80-wk-old. The eggshell mechanical properties were decreased significantly after 65-wk-old, as the changes of eggshell ultrastructure layer thickness and rate might contribute to the decrease of eggshell mechanical properties in the laying cycle. The decrease of eggshell phosphorus content might be one of the reasons for the decrease of eggshell mechanical properties from 60 to 80-wk-old. From 70 to 80-wk-old, eggshell ultrastructural variation and the decrease of eggshell calcium content per unit area might aggravate the decrease of eggshell mechanical properties
