Mary Anne Amalaradjou, associate professor of animal science at the University of Connecticut, has found that using a probiotic spray on eggs improves the number and quality of chicks that ...

Leucine aminopeptidase1 controls egg deposition and hatchability in male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes Journal: Nature Communications Published: 2024-01-02 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-44444-z Affiliations ...

Event focused on mastering hatchery excellence in a changing industry.

For example, eggs stored for seven to 14 days were found to have 2-3% increased hatchability – and much more when stored for more than two weeks.

However, there are no reports achieving high hatchability of ＞50% using completely artificial vessels. To establish a simple method for culturing chick embryos with high hatchability, we examined ...

Weight uniformity is probably one of the best indicators of poor environmental or management conditions. Uniformity has a natural tendency to deteriorate from 6 to 14 weeks of age, coinciding with ...

A technique is described for differentiating viable and nonviable nematode eggs. Acridine orange stain was used and some eggs took up stain, but others did not. Differences in permeability to acridine ...

A new study shows chicken fertility rates in U.S. broiler eggs could decline to approximately 60% by 2050. That decline could lead to chicken production issues and higher costs for consumers.
