Objective: In recent years, amino acids are used in veterinary medicine for many purposes. They injected into hatching eggs to increase chick body weight and performance at hatch, but the adverse effects of amino acids have always been a major concern. There is scant information available about the pathological alterations of amino acids in the chicken embryonated eggs. The objective of this st...

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of intra-amnion administration of different doses of ascorbic acid (AA) on hatchability, growth performance, blood metabolites, jejunal morphology, and tibia breaking strength in 36h post hatch fasted broiler chickens. Two hundred eighty-eight Ross-308 fertile eggs at the 15thday of incubation were divided into four treatment groups, each con...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of in ovo feeding of different nutrients on hatchability, initial weight after hatch, growth performance, blood parameters, immune organs and intestinal morphology of broiler chicks. the experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with 5 treatments, 3 replicates and 16 fertile eggs from ross 308 breeders (28 week old) in each repli...

This study was conducted in two steps to determine the effects of in ovo injection of zinc acetate (ZAC) on some gene expression associated with embryonic growth and development, and with growth and carcass characteristics of the resultant chicks. In the first step the effect of in ovo injectionofZAC on the expression of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs:IGF-I and IGF-I), myog...

two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of thyroxin in ovo injection and post hatch arginine feed supplementation on performance and cold tolerance acquisition in broilers. in experiment 1, a total of 2400 hatchings eggs were randomly assigned to four treatments: positive controls (intact or pricked with a needle), negative control (intact egg), injected with distilled water and ...

This study aimed to investigate the effects of pre-incubation in ovo injection with different levels L- carnitine (L-Car) on hatchability traits Bronze Turkey eggs, blood plasma constituents and subsequent growth performance hatched chicks. A total 300 hatching eggs were chosen (averaged 80.0 g) randomly divided into four main groups each three replicates (25 each). The 1st group was used as a ...

Effects of the in ovo injection of commercial diluent supplemented with dextrin or with dextrin in combination with various other carbohydrates on the somatic characteristics and liver nutrient profiles of Ross × Ross 708 broiler embryos and chicks were investigated. Results include information concerning the gluconeogenic energy status of the liver before and after hatch. Eggs containing live ...

This study was performed to determine the effect of hatching system (house and hatcher) egg weight (heavy light) on pip-hatch time, hatchability some gosling quality traits. A total 389 eggs (fertile candling) from 2-year-old Turkish Native Goose were used in study. Before incubation process, all individually numbered weighed. Eggs divided into heavy (≥160 g) light (
