Egg dry weight (μg)11.33 ± 1.2811.65 ± 1.1111.68 ± 1.0811.59 ± 1.46

Note: Data in the table are represented as means ± SD (n = 9). Egg diameter was measured using an optical microscope, egg wet weight was measured by weighing, and egg dry weight was measured by oven drying. Tukey test of statistical analysis is used to compare the means; values in each row with different superscripts are significantly different ().
