Results showed that significant differences (P<0.05) were appeared in egg components percentages and some chemical composition values due to fowl species and yolk had high percentages of protein, lipid, cholesterol and low density lipoproteins in mallard duck and turkey eggs compared with chicken and quail eggs | ||
