The biological activity of the majority of substances presented in egg matter is related to their anti-microbial and anti-cancer properties and their immunogenic features as well. Due to the use of new generation of feed additives and techniques of immunisation of hens, the chemical composition and biological features of eggs may be modified and enriched with desired components, like n-3 fatty acids （alpha-linolenic acid （ALA）, docosahexaenoic acid （DHA） phospholipids）, vitamins, microelements.
