Objectives or Summary:
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of storage methods and packaging eggs with some natural oils on egg quality parameters. A totalof500 eggs were obtained from the Some Poultry project farm / Duhok (Ross 308). 250 eggs were stored in the refrigerator at 5C˚ and 250 eggs were stored at room temperature at 18-25C˚ for 1-12 weeks. Each group was divided into five treatments(50 eggs)as follows: Control treatment eggs without treatment, packaging eggs with Corn oil at 18-25C° for 15 minutes, packaging eggs with Olive oil at 18-25C° for 15 minutes, packaging eggs with Almond oil at 18-25C° for 15 minutes and packaging eggs with Nigella oil at 18-25C° for 15 minutes. Egg quality traits were monitored including eggs weight before sampling and after sampling weighed, egg loss weight, loss percentage, (yolk and albumen) high, diameter, index, shell Thickness, shell weight, air cell, and HU (Haugh units). The results revealed that stored eggs in a refrigerator improved losses moisture from eggs kept diameter, the index for eggs yolk, albumin, and improved HU. In general, the natural oil improved all egg quality traits internal and external parameters. The interaction between refrigerator storage methods and coating lead to improved egg quality for 12 weeks. The investigation concluded that storage methods with coating eggs with natural oil improved eggs' quality.
