The study aimed to assess the quality of egg shell, egg white and yolk for Japanese quail eggs produced in the city of Benghazi during the summer season of 2019 and to estimate the level of cholesterol in the yolk where a herd consisting of 100 birds was used at the age of 5 months. The results of this study indicate that eggs weigh 12.74 g, with a factor of 78.53 and a volume of 12.21 cm3, representing the shell, whites and yolks in it 11.63, 54.20 and 35.66%, respectively. The shell of quail eggs weighs 1.29 g and is of a specific weight of 1.043 and the shell weight of each unit is a surface area of 50.59 g / cm2 and a shell of 0.22 mm thick. The weight of quail egg white was 6.90 g and the white and Haugh unit was 49.70 and 72.44, respectively. The yolk weight was 4.54 g with a guide shape of 0.44 and the pH of the egg and yolk was 8.89 and 6.30, respectively. One quail egg contains 46.58 mg cholesterol, equivalent to 10.26 mg / g yolks. The results of this study indicate a low quality of egg components and a similar level of cholesterol in previous studies.
