Abstract
The paper is devoted to studying of brown hen egg shell pigmentation mechanism and factors that influence the pigmentation. Protoporfirine-IX has been established to determine hen egg shell brown color especially this com- pound high fluorescent monomer (colored pigment). This pigment is synthesised in epithelial cells of oviduct uterus. Any factor that disturb these cells possibility to synthesise pigment or to ensure cuticle deposition will effect negatively on egg shell color intensity.
