This study was carried out to evaluate the age effect of broiler breeders on incubation and chick quality parameters. Three different age groups of broiler breeders were selected for the study. Six hundred eggs from each age group were collected. The experiment was composed with four replicates from each group and each replicate consisted of 150 eggs. Incubation and chick quality parameters were measured and eggs breakout analysis was done. Egg shape indexes were significantly different (P < 0…

EFFECTS OF FLOOR AND NEST EGGS ON HATCHABILITY AND CHICK QUALITY PARAMETERS IN BROILER BREEDERS

The quantitative and qualitative parameters of eggs and day old chicks are determined by broiler breeders. Floor and nest eggs are used by commercial hatcheries for incubation. This study was carried…

Interactions between Egg Storage Duration and Breeder Age on Selected Egg Quality, Hatching Results, and Chicken Quality

It was demonstrated that eggs from young breeders were the most resistant to storage duration increase in relationship to early and middle embryonic mortality than eggs from older breeders, and it would be better to store eggs of younger breeders (31 weeks) for a prolonged period.

Chick quality: an overview of measurement techniques and influencing factors

SUMMARY The production quantity of poultry products is increasing in the world economy with every passing day. The increase in chick quality is synonymous with the increase in the number of saleable…

The effect of broiler breeder strain and parent flock age on hatchability and fertile hatchability.

Hatching eggs produced by older broiler breeders have been shown to be larger in size and they also exhibit a reduced fertility, so it is evident that egg management and incubation procedures need to be altered.

Effect of breeder age on eggshell thickness, surface temperature, hatchability and chick weigh

The data showed that breeder age affected eggshell thickness and chick weight (heavier eggs resulted in heavier chicks), but not specific gravity, eggshell surface temperature or hatchability, which revealed that hatchability can be influenced by incubation temperature, but not by the breederAge.

Effects of Age of Broiler Breeders and Egg Storage on Egg Quality, Hatchability, Chick Quality, Chick Weight, and Chick Posthatch Growth to Forty-Two Days

It was concluded that growth potential of chicks 1 d posthatch is partlylinked to the incubating egg quality and other characteristics that can be linked to the physiological stage of breeders (e.g., age).

INTERRELATIONSHIPS AMONG EGG WEIGHT, HATCHABILITY, CHICK WEIGHT, POST HATCH PERFORMANCE AND REARING METHOD IN BROILER BREEDERS

Rearing of chicks according to body size yielded higher body weight with low mortality and reduced variation in chick performance among the groups, studied.

Effects of breeder age and pre-incubation storage of eggs on hatchability, time of hatch and relative organ weight of quail chicks at hatch

Two thousand four hundred quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) hatching eggs were used to determine the effects of breeder age and pre-incubation storage time on egg traits, hatching traits and the…

Fertility and hatchability of eggs laid in the pullet-to-breeder transition period and in the initial production period.

Incubation conditions affect chick quality and broiler performance.

In this review, about temperature, relative humidity, venti lation and turning requirements of embryos during incubation period and their effects on chick qualit y and broiler performance are discussed.

Effect of egg weight on hatchability and hatchling weight in Fayoumi, Desi and crossbred (Rhode Island Red X Fayoumi) chickens -

This study revealed that medium sized eggs were more appropriate for better hatchability percentage and lower embryonic deaths in three rural breeds, however, largesized eggs were suitable for better Hatchability and hatchling weight.

The effect of broiler breeder genetic strain and parent flock age on eggshell conductance and embryonic metabolism.

The results showed that genetic strain and parent flock age influence daily embryonic metabolism, especially during the early and latter days of incubation, as well as the relationship between embryonic metabolic heat production and mortality during incubation.

Meeting embryonic requirements of broilers throughout incubation: a review

The effects of embryo temperature, egg weight loss, and CO 2 concentration on hatchability, hatchling quality, and subsequent performance are discussed from an embryonic point of view and show that the optimal situation for the embryo during incubation highly depends on the conditions of the eggs before (storage duration) andDuring incubation (environmental conditions) and on theconditions of the chickens after hatching (Environmental temperature).
