Abstract:Using the so-called TOBEC (Total Body Electrical Conductivity) method for the in vivo determination of egg composition, the effect of egg composition on the slaughter characteristics of hatched chicks was examined in the ROSS-308 meat-type genotype. Chicks hatched from eggs with low, average and high electrical conductivity were slaughtered at 42 days of age. It was found that the weight of all of the examined traits showed highest values in the case of chicks hatched from eggs with low electrical conductivity… Show more
