Technical report: modelling of quail eggs using Cubic Bezier Curve / Wan Nur Asiah Wan Rasdi, Nur Rasyidah Mohamad Arif and Ummu Huzaimah Hasnaa Makhodir

It has remained for long unresolved the influence of egg size on hatchability and its nu­trients. Although many researchers had conducted numerous experiments to find mathematical equation of egg profile, but still there was no research on quail eggs using Bezier Curve yet. So, this project "Modelling of Quail Eggs Using Cubic Bezier Curve" was decided to be conducted in order to give some contribution to poultry industry and quail marketing. 20 quail eggs were collected and labelled after cleaning and air drying. Their volumes were measured using Archimedes' principle. Then by applying Cubic Bezier Curve using Maple software, the best fitted curve of quail eggs was produced and from that their volumes were calculated by applying formula for volume involving parametric equation and also the percentage error by comparing them with actual volume calculated using Archimedes Principle. Thus, from this project, it was hoped that it did contributed to poultry industry and also helped consumers to choose the eggs wisely.
