DURAND Laboratoire de factorielle Gintiqueg *)( Centre national de Recherches zootechniques, LN.R.A.,., 35078Jouy-en-Josas Summary The genetic variations in egg-white proteins were detected in Fayoumi eggs. G2locus prov- ed to be the only polymorphic among four egg-white protein loci investigated. Two types were and The to have heavier and determined, ABG2 G,BB. heterozygote proved eggs accordingly heavier egg components. The phenotypic correlation, with respect to the homozygote type, between albumen weight and yolk weight proved to be insignificant. Introduction Egg-white contains a number of proteins, which have been investigated by many workers for existence of genetic variants detected by electrophoresis.
