Abstract

The present study aimed to analyze the characteristics of Aseel chicken eggs, specifically focusing on size, quality, and their impact on hatchability percentage. The study was conducted in Sindh, Pakistan, with a total of 114 eggs selected from three different talukas in district Tando Allahyar. Parameters such as egg weight, specific gravity, egg shell, and egg thickness were recorded and analyzed. The data was further examined using rank-Spearman analysis to determine the correlation between these parameters. The results indicated significant differences (p < 0.05) among the selected talukas, with Tando Allahyar and Jhando Mari talukas showing higher values for egg weight, eggshell thickness, and specific gravity. Additionally, a significant (p < 0.05) and moderate to positive correlation was observed among all parameters. These findings suggest that the variations in results across different areas may be attributed to management practices and genetic differences in Aseel chicken populations within the talukas
