The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of stimulating the embryo during the dormancy in the incubation period. 450 eggs (Ross 308) were allocated in four treatments each three replicates. The treatments were as follow: T1 control (without shock), T2 Shocked (40) Millivolts (mV), T3 Shocked (50) (mV), T4 Shocked (75) (mV). A different voltage device was used to shock the egg, after marking the eggs with a line of iron filings to ensure electrical conductivity, eggs were shocked at different times three times a day. The results show a significant increase (p<0.01) in embryonic development for embryo weight, chick body weight, Hatchability, and embryo Index (EI) for T2, T3, and especially T4. A significant increase (p<0.01) in neurophysiological traits of neurons, brain weight, and Brain Index (BI) for T2, T3, and especially T4. In concluding the use of electric shock in the embryonic period will developing of the embryo and neurophysiological traits.

A different voltage device was used to shock the egg, after marking the eggs with a line of iron filings to ensure electrical conductivity, eggs were shocked at different times three times a day. The results showed that the percentage of embryonic weight increased significantly and the percentage of albumin decreased significantly and the percentage of shells for experimental treatments during the seven days of incubation compared to the control treatment. The significant increase in the percentage of embryonic weight and amniotic sac and liquid and a significant decrease in the percentage of albumin and yolk compared to the control treatment at 14 and 17 days of incubation for experimental treatment. Significant increase in neurophysiological traits of neurons, brain weight for T2, T3 and especially T4 concluded that electrical stimulation had a positive effect on the embryo.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
