Egg mass

EGG MASS
  • The use of egg mass rather than egg numbers will lead to better comparisons of flocks or strains of birds.
  • To calculate egg mass it is first necessary to determine the average weight of eggs by weighing representative samples of the eggs produced.

          Average egg mass    =  Per cent HDEP  X  Average egg weight in grams 
          (Per hen per day in grams)
