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...

Inbreeding, which is the mating of related individuals, increases homozygosity and leads to depression, especially in traits with low heritability. In this study, parent-offspring, full-sibling half-sibling groups were formed their effects on embryo loss hatch weight investigated. a total 2130 fertile Japanese quail eggs used. Embryo losses divided into three periods; early period (first 5-day)...

Both parental care and hatching plasticity can improve embryo survival. Research has found that parents can alter hatching time owing to a direct effect of care on embryogenesis or via forms of care that cue the hatching process. Because parental care alters conditions critical for offspring development, hatching plasticity could allow embryos to exploit variation in parental behaviour. However...

Field collected, first generation female Aedes cantator were shown to produce heterogeneous eggs that exhibit variable hatch in response to serial inundations and cold conditioning in the laboratory. Nearly 85% of the egg batches exhibited some hatch with the first flooding, representing 69.4% of the total overall hatch. However, 56% of the same egg batches displayed further hatch with subseque...

The first objective of this study on broiler breeders was to investigate the genetic basis of variability in hatchability over age using a longitudinal model. Weekly percentage hatch of fertile and hatch of set eggs were available for 23,250 dams mated to 3,106 sires of the same age between the 28th and 54th week of life. Hatch of set was very highly correlated with fertility and showed a simil...
