The Effect of Egg Shell Thickness on Some Hatching Traits of Broiler Breeders

Bu çalışma broiler damızlıklarda kabuk kalınlığının kuluçka sonuçları üzerine etkisini araştırmıştır. Broiler damızlık sürüden elde edilen toplam 253 yumurta kabuk kalınlıklarına göre gruplandırılmıştır (kalın, orta ve ince). Yumurtalar tartılmış ve kabuk kalınlıkları ultrasonik olarak ölçülmüştür. Çıkış gücü, civciv ağırlığı ve civciv uzunluğu kuluçka sonunda belirlenmiştir. Tüm gruplarda kabuk kalınlığının çıkış gücüne etkisi önemsiz bulunmuştur. Ayrıca, kabuk kalınlığının civciv ağırlığı ve civciv uzunluğu üzerine önemli bir etkisi de olmamıştır

Broiler Damızlıklarda Yumurta Kabuk Kalınlığının Bazı Kuluçka Özellikleri Üzerine Etkisi

This study examined the effect of egg shell thickness on hatching traits of broiler breeders. A total of 253 eggs from broiler breeders were classified into three groups according to shell thickness (thin, medium, thick). Eggs were weighed, and shell thicknesses were measured ultrasonically. Hatchability, chick weight and chick length were assessed at the end of the incubation period. The effect of egg shell thickness on hatchability was found to be insignificant for all groups. Moreover, shell thickness had no significant effect on chick weight or length
