🥚 Eggstraordinary Insights: The Hen’s Oviduct – The Egg’s Elegant Pathway

Infolounge logo

Every egg begins its journey deep inside the hen’s body — in a natural production line called the oviduct.

• Step by step: From yolk release in the ovary to the finished egg in the uterus, each section of the oviduct has a precise role: adding albumen, membranes, and shell.

• Timing is everything: It takes about 24–26 hours for a hen to produce one complete egg — then the process starts all over again.

• Perfect coordination: Hormones, nutrition, and environment all work in harmony to maintain this rhythm — a symphony of biology and performance.


At LOHMANN BREEDERS, our research focuses on genetics that support reproductive efficiency, strong oviduct health, and consistent laying cycles — turning biology into precision.

💡 Tip: Adjusted, tailor-made lighting programs, along with balanced nutrition and proper management, are key to supporting the oviduct’s natural rhythm and ensuring consistent egg quality throughout the laying cycle.
