The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of the egg shape index on egg quality characteristics. The eggs used in this study were laid by layers of the ATAK-S strain. The eggs were classified with respect to shape index (SI), namely sharp eggs (SI < 72), normal (standard) eggs (SI = 72–76) and round eg…

Abstract BACKGROUND: The experiment was carried out with total of 270 eggs, which were collected from a brown‐egg layer strain of Lohmann hens reared in a cage system. Collected eggs were categorized according to weight and classified as medium, large, extra‐large or jumbo. The purpose of the study was to determine th…

The aim of the current study was to determine the effects of different eggshell temperatures (EST) during 10 to 18 d of incubation on embryonic development, hatchability, chick quality, first-week broiler performance. The EST were maintained within the temperature ranges of 33.3 to 36.7, 37.8 to 38.2, and 38.9 to 40.0…
