Genetic variation and potential for genetic improvement of cuticle deposition on chicken eggs

BACKGROUND: The cuticle is an invisible glycosylated protein layer that covers the outside of the eggshell and forms a barrier to the transmission of microorganisms. Cuticle-specific staining and in situ absorbance measurements have been used to quantify cuticle deposition in several pure breeds of...
