Recent advances in the assessment of eggshell quality and their future application (2005, background): “According to Nys et al. (2004) the egg white proteins within the calcified shell are likely to have a chemical protective function, while the eggshell specific proteins are more likely to influence the process of calcification by modifying and modulating crystal growth.”
Review: an embryo's eye view of avian eggshell pigmentation (2011, background): “Although the avian shell is made up of 95% calcite (Nys et al. 2004) the occlusion of light from the egg contents is usually not complete (Fig.”
Eggshell structure, measurements, and quality-affecting factors in laying hens: a review (2016, background): “The last stage corresponds to termination of calcification and lasts about 1.5 h (Nys et al. 2004).”
