Long storage periods may increase embryo mortality. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of storage period on the weight loss, eggshell surface temperature, hatchability, and embryonic mortality of Japanese quail eggs. Two hundred fertile eggs were collected from a flock of 30-week-old Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica). The eggs were collected for 10 consecutive days after lay, and immediately incubated. A completely randomized experimental design with 10 treatments, corresponding to the number of days eggs were stored between egg collection and setting, with 20 replicates each, was applied. Egg weight loss increased with storage period duration, starting on day 6 (2.1%, on average) and reached 3.26%, on average, in eggs stored for 10 days. The highest hatchability (p>0.05) was obtained in eggs stored for two days, which also lost the least weight (1.20%). Storage period did not influence eggshell surface temperature (p>0.05) during incubation, but higher temperatures (p<0.05) were measured on days 10 and 15 of incubation compared with day 5. Eggs stored for ten days presented the highest weight loss, and therefore, a storage period of up to five days is recommended to maintain the quality of incubated Japanese quail eggs. Furthermore, egg surface temperature increases during the second half of the incubation period as a result of increasing embryonic metabolic rate.

“…Hatchability was increased by in-ovo injection with ascorbic acid (Ipek et al, 2004), L-arginine (Al-Daraji et al, 2012), and carbohydrates (Dong et al, 2013). However, hatchability was reduced by in-ovo injection with ascorbic acid (Sgavioli et al, 2015), organic trace minerals (Oliveira et al, 2015), glucose (Ebrahimnezhad et al, 2011), and glucose and magnesium (Salmanzadeh et al, 2012). In contrast, Bhanja & Mandal (2005), Nowaczewski et al (2012), Moore et al (1994), Shafey et al (2012), and Coskun et al (2014) reported that hatchability was not affected when eggs were injected with amino acids, vitamin C, hormones, carbohydrates, and pollen extract, respectively.…”

“…The use of 2% propolis and 3% propolis may be toxic for the embryo, particularly during these incubation ages. However, Nowaczewski et al (2012), Sgavioli et al (2015), Shafey et al (2012), and Ipek et al (2004) reported that in-ovo injection with vitamin C, ascorbic acid, carbohydrates, and glucose, respectively, had no significant effect on embryonic mortality. Chick body weight on d 10 and body weight gain were not affected by the in-ovo injection of propolis.…”

“…The in-ovo method was first used by Sharma & Burmester (1982) for the vaccination of turkey hatching eggs against Marek's disease. Recently, the in-ovo method has been investigated by researchers for administering ascorbic acid (Elibol et al, 2001;Ipek et al, 2004;Sgavioli et al, 2015), carbohydrates (Zhai et al, 2011;Salmanzadeh, 2012;Ipek et al, 2004;Tako et al, 2004), amino acids (Bhanja et al, 2014;Ohta et al, 1999;Kermanshahi et al, 2015), vitamins (Bello et al, 2013;Salary et al, 2014), minerals (Yair et al, 2013;Oliveira et al, 2015), pollen (Coskun et al, 2014), hormones (Moore et al, 1994;Kocamis et al, 1999), and royal jelly (Moghaddam et al, 2014).…”

KeywordsIn-ovo feeding, propolis, hatching traits, quail.Submitted: August/2016 Approved: September/2016 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of in-ovo injection of a propolis water extract on hatchability, embryonic mortality, starter live performance, and livability of Japanese quails. In total, 500 fresh hatching eggs were randomly distributed into five treatment groups of 100 eggs per treatment with four replicates of 25 eggs each. On day 14 of incubation, eggs from group 1 were not injected (control), group 2 was injected with distilled water (water), group 3 was injected with 1% propolis water extract (1% propolis), group 4 was injected with 2% propolis water extract (2% propolis), and group 5 was injected with 3% propolis water extract (3% propolis). A completely randomized design was applied, and data were analyzed using the least-square methodology. Hatchability and embryonic mortality in the 2% propolis and 3% propolis treatment groups were significantly lower compared with the control group, but no significant differences were observed between the 1% propolis and control groups. There were no significant bodyweight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, or livability differences among treatments. The results of this study demonstrated that in-ovo injection of propolis water extract, especially at doses of 2% and 3% propolis, had negative effects on hatchability and embryonic mortality, but 1% propolis had no detrimental effects on hatchability or embryonic mortality. In all treatment groups, propolis did not negatively affect body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, or livability.

“…Regarding hatch time, chicks were hatched earlier (P>0.05) for eggs exposed to 41°C (377.88 hrs) by about 17.38 hrs compared with 37.5°C (395.26 hrs) this may be due to higher metabolic rate accompanied with increased respiration rate, resulting in decreased O2 supply and increased CO2 concentrations inside the egg which, accelerate hatch time (Everaert et al, 2007). Sgavioli et al, (2014) reported that the elevated temperature generally accelerated hatching time but this was not in concert with the development of the organs. With respect to the effect of AA treatments, data indicate that the rate of embryonic mortality was decreased remarkably due to treatment with ascorbic acid and thus increased hatching rate compared with the untreated group (Table 5).…”

The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of spraying ascorbic acid on Japanese quail eggs submitted to high temperature during4 th to 14 th days of incubation period on embryogenesis, hatchability, embryonic mortality rate and chick quality.Six hundred Japanese quaileggs were divided into two equal groups of 300 eggs each according to incubation temperature. In the first group: eggs were incubated at 37.5°C (thermoneutral incubation temperature NIT 37.5°C)and 65% relative humidity (RH)from 1 st to 14 th days of incubation. The second group: (high incubation temperatureHIT 41°C): Eggs were incubated at 37.5°C during the first 3 days of incubation and from day 4 th to 14 th incubation temperature (IT) was raised to 41°C and RH65% for three hours per day. The eggs were evenly divided into three ascorbic acid (AA) treatments. The first one was sprayed with distilled water (control AA0), while, the second and third groups were sprayed with solutions containing 15 and 30gAA/L, respectively.The results concluded that HIT group had the highest embryo weight, embryonic mortalities and lower hatchability% compared to NIT group. The chicks weight (g) and triiodothyronine (T3) concentration were significantly lower (P≤0.05) in HIT group compared toNIT group. Glucose level and heterophil: lymphocyte (H: L) ratio wereincreased significantly (P≤0.01) as affected by thermal manipulations.The embryonic development, embryonic viability as well as hatchability improved by spraying ascorbic acid as compared to the untreated group.Values of glucose, T3, RBCs, PCV% and HGB were significantly increased in the blood of hatching chicks by spraying AA solutionas compared to control while, residual yolk and H: L ratio was significantly(P≤0.05) decreased by spraying AA solution . The embryonic development, internal organs%, PCV% and HGB has been affected by interaction between incubation temperature and ascorbic acid. It could be concluded that, spraying eggs of Japanese quail exposed to heat stress with AA solutions (15 or 30 g/L) daily during4 th to 14 th days of incubation period, may be an alternative method to minimize embryos heat stress and maximize the embryonic viability as well as hatchability, immunity of hatched chicks and chick quality.
