“… Damaziak et al (2018) also found better hatchability rates with pre-incubations, but more significantly in older groups, which is in contrast to other studies ( Gucbilmez et al, 2013 ; Ebeid et al, 2017 ; Özlü et al, 2021 ) where the increase in hatchability of fertile eggs was higher in eggs from young flocks than in eggs from older flocks. Similarly, the positive effect of pre-incubations on hatchability was more pronounced in our experiment for batch B (from 62% in Ct to 84% in W) than for batch E eggs (from 45% in Ct to 61% in W).…”

“…In our study, storage at an average temperature of 11.6°C (vs. 18.3°C) appears to have limited the weight loss and increase in pH of eggs in group C compared to Ct. These results are in accordance with Hamidu et al (2018) , who showed that a lower storage temperature (18°C vs. 25°C) decreased egg weight loss, and Özlü et al (2021) , who observed a lower albumen pH with storage temperatures of 12 or 15°C rather than 18°C. Williams (1992) proposed that storage temperature should be maintained below 10°C in order to reduce the decline in albumen viscosity, but our study shows that an average of 11.6°C may be sufficient.…”

“…In contrast, embryo staging remained stable in other groups of eggs. A similar effect of pre-incubation on embryonic development was also reported in previous studies ( Fasenko et al, 2001 ; Reijrink et al, 2009 , 2010 ; Bakst et al, 2016 ; Özlü et al, 2021 ).…”

“…In Özlü et al (2021) , late embryo mortality decreased following pre-incubation treatments. In our study, middle and late embryo mortalities were generally much lower in all groups but were still impacted by pre-incubations and cool treatment in B eggs (until the 17th day of incubation).…”

“…In several studies, chick quality was not affected by storage conditions. This was shown either in terms of the Pasgar score, body weight, chick length and yolk sac weight [in Pokhrel et al (2018) comparing 12°C vs. 18°C storage conditions], or in terms of first/second grade ratio [in Özlü et al (2021) comparing 12, 15 and 18°C storage temperatures, and in Damaziak et al (2018) looking at pre-incubation effects], or in terms of chick lengths and yolk-free body mass [in Reijrink et al (2009) applying pre-incubations]. However, all these studies found low percentages of second grade chicks (less than 1.5%), and chicks were of high quality in all storage conditions.…”

This study was designed to improve the hatching performance, chick robustness and poultry health in the event of long-term egg storage and suboptimal age of the reproductive flock. A total of 9,600 eggs from one young breeder flock (28 weeks of age, batch B) and 9,600 eggs from an older breeder flock (59 weeks of age, batch E) were used (ROSS 308). Each batch was separated into three sub-groups and stored for 14 days. The first sub-group of eggs (Cool, group C) was stored at 11.6°C. The second sub-group of eggs (Warm, group W) was stored at 18.3°C with two pre-incubation on days 6 and 10 of the storage period. The final sub-group of eggs (Control, group Ct) was stored at 18.3°C throughout the storage period. Eggs were similarly incubated and hatched birds were raised on the same experimental farm. In both batches, embryonic development was significantly more advanced in W eggs than in C and Ct eggs ( p < 0.01). In both batches, C and W treatments decreased early embryonic mortality by more than 10% compared with Ct, decreased the proportion of late-hatched chicks and improved the percentage of first grade chicks: in batch E, 42% of Ct eggs were first grade chicks vs. 57% in group W and 59% in group C. Benefits were even higher in batch B, where only 60% of Ct eggs gave first grade chicks vs. 83% in others groups. The hatching rate was thus higher in groups C and W regardless of flock age: for batch B eggs, 85% hatched in W and 84% in C vs. 62% in Ct, while for batch E eggs, 59% hatched in W and 61% in C vs. 45% in Ct. Day-old Ct chicks from batch E were heavier than W and C ones, and heavier than W chicks from batch B ( p < 0.05). Long-term parameters on farm were not significantly different between groups. Thermal treatments during the storage of eggs from both young and old breeder flocks counterbalance the negative effects of prolonged egg storage on hatching rate, without altering chicken performance during rearing.

AbstractsEgg storage duration can affect embryo mortality, hatching characteristics, hatching time, and post-hatch chick quality. In order to assess these effects, the impact of storage duration (5 days, 10 days, 15 days) and short incubation period during egg storage (SPIDES) investigated further 18, 900 eggs of broiler breeder (ROSS 308) in 3 × 2 factorial arrangement design. In the SPIDES treatment, the egg shell temperature was raised from its storage temperature (18 °C) and held at 100 °F for 3.5 h. Storage periods could significantly (P < 0.05) influence on embryo mortality (total, early, middle, and late), hatchability of both the total eggs and fertile eggs. The SPIDES treatment had a significant (P < 0.05) impact on a lower embryonic death rate and improved egg hatchability. Eggs stored for 5 days and eggs treated with SPIDES significantly (P < 0.001) shorten hatching time, batch’s 90% hatching time (T 90% H), mean hatching time (MHT), maximal hatching period (MHP), and hatching window (HW). Chick quality was also determined, whereas storing eggs for 5 days and using the SPIDES treatment resulted in enhanced (P < 0.001) chick weight relative to egg weight (CW/EW), activity (AC), and chick quality score (CQS). The residual yolk sac weight (RYSW), unhealed navel (UHN %), and dirty feather (DF%) recorded the lowest (P < 0.001) values compared to long storage periods and control group. Finally, stored for 5 days treated by SPIDES positively affected the hatchability characteristics, the shortening hatching time, and the quality of chicks. Regarding the results, it was confirmed that using the SPIDES treatment to prevent the harmful effects of broiler eggs being stored for an extended period of time is a viable option.
