Quality of eggs produced and stored in the Amazon environmental conditions

Keywords: Amazon, egg quality, hen, microbiology, poultry, seasonality

Abstract

This study aimed to aims to test the hypothesis that the quality of eggs (physical and microbiological) may be influenced by hens' age, season of the year, and storage period when these are stored at room temperature in Amazon environmental conditions. The experimental method was completely randomized in a factorial arrangement (3x2x10), where the factors were hens' age (32, 56 or 77 weeks), seasons (dry or rainy), and storage periods of the eggs (1, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56 or 63 days), with 12 replicates (eggs) each. Data collected were subjected to the Tukey test at 5%. Older birds produced heavier (p<0.05) eggs with higher percentages of yolk and albumen, but lower (p<0.05) internal and external quality. Eggs produced in rainy were heavier (p<0.05), presented higher (p<0.05) percentages of yolk and albumen, better (p<0.05) internal quality and shell thickness, and lower (p<0.05) concentrations of microorganisms. There were significant losses (p<0.05) in the internal quality of the eggs, without affecting the shell thickness and Haugh unit, according to an increase in the storage period. In addition, eggs stored in the Amazon environmental conditions above 28 days presented a great growth in the microorganism’s concentration.
