The study involved 113 emu eggs, laid by 4–yr–old hens kept by a Canadian breeder in Ontario. Those eggs which the shells had been damaged during transport were used for chemical assays to determine dry matter, protein, and fat contents in the yolk. The egg weight and shape index were determined as well.
