The purpose was to provide data onwhich breed is more suitable for our local environments and which storageenvironment is more appropriate to keep high quality table egg.The. results indicated that:1- Bovans Brown excelled significantly Lohman Bron for fresh eggweight, percentage of HHEP; but the reverse was true for the percentageof HDEP (61.56 gm, 57.81 % and 61.39% versus 60.18 gm, 56.62% and61.91%, respectively).- Bovans Browns’ had supenor values for albumen height, albumenweight, Haugh units, yolk weight, yolk index, shell weightpercentage and shell thickness was compared to those recorded forBovans Brown (7.69 mm, 37.48 gm, 86.26, 16.75 gm, 0.41, 10.15%and 0.35 mm Vs. 6.99 mm, 37.08 gm, 81.26, 16.19 gm, 0.39, 9.66%and 0.33 mm; respectively). .- Lohman Brown had high values of percentage of albumen weight,egg index and weight loss and percentage compared to that recorded
