Egg Weight Of Egg Essay

912 Words4 Pages

Egg Weight Egg weight or egg mass are one of the easier ways to determine if the flock is performing properly. It is the average weight of an egg or the overall weight of all eggs produced in a flock. The egg weight should should begin to increase weekly from the moment the hens lay their first 48 gram egg. The egg weight increases till it reached around 60 grams at around 30 weeks of age. In later production till the end, the egg weight will be between 65 and 70 grams which may fluctuate 0.5 grams per week, any more than that is cause for concern. The egg weight at 40 weeks is a good indication of the average egg weight in the whole production period. Hot temperatures have a negative effect on egg weight (Bestman et al., 2013). Using egg mass or weight in place of egg quantity will lead to a better comparison between breeds. To determine the egg weight, first some weighing representative eggs need to be used as samples to determine the average weight (Agritech, n.d.). To calculate the egg weight the following calculation can be used: Figure 7: Egg Mass (Agritech, n.d.) Consumption eggs are separated …show more content…

Uniformity is seen as a percentage of the weight of an individual which normally occurs with a range of 10 percent of the current flock average (standard deviation). The goal when a flock is laying is to have a uniformity of 80 percent, while 90 percent is more often. When a flock is lacking uniformity the moment they start laying they experience a premature or delayed production peak. Lack of uniformity makes it harder to design diets for a flock since there are both light a heavy hens in a flock. When there is no uniformity, the flock should be separated into different weight groups, that would allow the groups with smaller hens to gain weight faster (Hyline, 2016). At around 15 weeks of age is a good moment to determine the uniformity of a flock (Bestman et al.,

    Next, we determined the mass of the penny by placing it on a balance. The mass of the penny was 2.47 grams. Afterwards, we placed the penny in a beaker filled with 20 mL of 6 M HCl. In the end we put the beaker in the fume hood and allowed it to sit overnight. During day two of the penny lab, we removed the penny skin from the beaker using tweezers.

The lifecycle of a bean beetles is quite short an adult been beetle lays their eggs on the external surface of a bean. The larva hatches from the egg burrows from the egg through the seed coat and into the bean endosperm without moving outside the protection of the egg.

    The egg we experimented on went through many dramatic changes. In its original state, the circumference was 14 cm, and it was 66.8 grams in mass. However, it was much larger after it was put in the vinegar for 48 hours, the circumference was 17 cm, and the mass was 89.1 grams. This occurred because of osmosis. Since the vinegar had more water molecules than the egg, it was transferring the molecules to the egg to create equilibrium; therefore, the egg became larger.

    Tradeoffs are a frequent occurrence in Nature. They describe the compromise between two optimal but frequently incompatible traits for an organism. Andrea Pomeroy and her team applied this concept of tradeoffs to the western sandpipers, Calidris mauri, of British Columbia Canada, with the trade off of their ability to forage for food against the costs of potential predation. The main idea examined by Pomeroy was to study the spatial usage (The measure of how intensely a site is used for foraging by the sandpipers) at Boundary Bay, to determine how the birds chose their stop over sites during migration based on the tradeoffs between food abundance and predation risks.

They know when they see something that they do not like. They will either run or fly or stay there where nothing can see them. In the fall time all the gobblers stay together in groups and all the hens stay together in a group.

Many times, the interactions between organisms and habitats are based on the energy needs of the organisms. In this experiment, a null hypothesis that the Black-capped Chickadee forages on various trees at random. Upon data analysis of the gathered information, it can be determined that the Black-capped chickadee were not choosing foraging sites at random. The results of a chi square test gave a value of 19,890 which is significantly larger than the 16.812 value needed to void the null hypothesis with six degrees of freedom; the probability that this variation was due to chance is less than .01.

    Also, the pictures above show how the egg changed from being tight and solid to being flexible. The observations also say that the egg felt like a water balloon and was full of water inside. Overall, the egg greatly shrunk in size. Finally, when the egg was placed in corn syrup, it floated on the surface of the solution. This was because the egg floated in solutions hypertonic to its inside.

  • Egg Drop Lab Report

    To find the momentum of the highest drop, the mass of the container with the egg inside it, 0.600 kg, was collected, and the final velocity of 15.0 m/s was calculated. This velocity was calculated by multiplying gravity by the time it took for the container to fall this distance. The final velocity and mass were then multiplied together to get the momentum, which is 9.00 kg m/s. Impulse is the change in an object 's momentum and can quantify the overall effect of a force acting over a specific time. To find the impulse for the highest drop, the value of the force exerted on the container was calculated by multiplying the mass with gravity, which equals 5.89 N. This force was then multiplied by the time it took for the drop, 1.53 s, which equalled an impulse of 9.01 Ns. The impulse and momentum is the same because, in a collision, an object experiences a force for a specific time interval that results in a change in momentum.
