Genetic and environmental factors regulate hen egg traits. To demonstrate the possibility of producing designer eggs through genetic and environmental factors, we investigated the effects of breed and feed on egg traits using 2 chicken breeds, Rhode Island Red (RIR) and Australorp (AUS), and 2 feeds, mixed feed and fermented feed. A total of 40 eggs were collected at 33 wk of age (0 mo under mixed feed) and 1, 1.5, and 2 mo after switching to fermented feed. Two-way ANOVA mixed design was used to evaluate 10 egg traits: weight, length of the long axis, length of the short axis, eggshell weight, yolk weight, albumen weight, eggshell thickness, eggshell lightness, redness, and yellowness, and 19 yolk amino acids. The results revealed significant breed effects on eggshell redness and yellowness, with higher values of these traits in RIR eggs compared with AUS eggs. There was a significant effect of feed on eggshell lightness, with a lighter color observed under fermented feed compared with mixed feed. Significant effects of breed and breed × feed were found for yolk cysteine content. Eggs from AUS had a higher yolk cysteine content than those from RIR. The cysteine content in AUS eggs increased gradually after starting fermented feed, although RIR remained relatively constant over time. These findings suggest that it is possible to produce designer eggs with enriched components, including yolk amino acids, by adjusting both genetic and environmental factors. This represents a first step in understanding the mechanisms underlying the production of value-added eggs in chickens.
