“…There are research reports indicating that extended storage cause decreases in hatchability of incubated eggs (SUKSUPATH and TANPIPAT, 1991), hatchability of fertile eggs (SREENIVASAIAH and RAMAPPA, 1988), and increase embryonic mortality rates (SCOTT and MACKENZIE, 1993). Furthermore, conflicting results have been reported regarding the effects of short-term storage on hatching performance (MAYES and TAKEBALLI, 1984). Optimum hatching results can be obtained from eggs of certain weight (OZCELIK and OZBEY, 2004).…”

“…Optimization of storage period and conditions of hatching eggs are essential for hatching industry. Regardless of under how optimum conditions the eggs are stored; hatching success rate of incubated eggs stored more than a week will decrease (MAYES and TAKEBALLI, 1984). Since commercial hatching establishments generally receive eggs few times a week, eggs are rarely stored more than a week (ALTAN et al, 2002).…”

This study was undertaken to determine the effects of storage period and egg weight of hatching eggs of Japanese quails on fertility, hatchability results. Eggs were obtained 150 females quails, all at 15 weeks of age. A total of 1942 hatching eggs were separated into 3 groups as light-weight (9.50-10.50 g), medium-weight (10.51-11.50 g), and heavy-weight (11.51-12.50 g). Based on storage period, eggs were divided into 5 groups as group 1 (0-3 days), group 2 (4-6 days), group 3 (7-9 days), group 4 (10-12 days), and group 5 (13-15 days). The influence of storage period on hatchability of fertile eggs and early, middle, and late period embryonic mortality rates was found significant (P<0.01). The effect of egg weight on fertility rate, hatchability of fertile eggs and early embryonic mortality was significant (P<0.05, P<0.01). The significant differences between storage period groups were observed in hatchability of fertile eggs. The differences between egg weight groups for fertility rate, hatchability of fertile eggs and early embryonic mortality was significantly higher in light weight group than the other egg weight groups. Results of this study concluded that a 12 day pre-incubation storage of hatching eggs of Japanese quails did not appreciably affect hatching parameters. Use of medium or heavy weight eggs for hatching may reduce early embryonic mortality rate. Gruppen (9,50 g; 10,50 und 11,50 g) und diese wiederum in fünf Untergruppen mit einer Lagerdauer von 0-3; 4-6; 7-9; 10-12 und 13-15 Tagen eingeteilt. Es konnte ein signifikanter (p<0,01) Einfluss der Lagerungsdauer auf die Befruchtungsrate, auf das Schlupfergebnis und die embryonale Mortalität während der gesamten Brutdauer nachgewiesen werden. Gleiches galt auch für den Einfluss des Eigewichtes auf das Befruchtungs-sowie das Schlupfergebnis, während das für die embryonale Mortalität nur für den ersten Brutabschnitt zutraf. Signifikante Unterschiede ergaben sich für den Einfluss der Lagerungszeit auf das Schlupfergebnis befruchteter Eier und die embryonale Mortalität in der frü-hen Brutperiode. Die schlechtesten Ergebnisse erzielten die Eier mit den geringsten Gewichten gegenüber den Eiern der schwereren Gruppen. Die Untersuchungen ergaben, dass eine Lagerzeit von bis 12 Tagen die Schlupfergebnisse nur unwesentlich beeinträchtigten und höhere Eigewichte die embryonale Mortalität verringerten.Schlüsselwörter: Eilagerungsdauer, Eigewicht, Schlupfrate, embryonale Mortalität, Wachtel Introduction The attention of numerous researchers has been focused on the relationship between egg weight and time of storage and the effect of these on hatching success and chick quality for many years (WILSON, 1991).

“…Under these conditions, carbon dioxide loss will result in albumen pH increase. Mayes and Takeballi (1984) reviewed the results of other studies that examined the rate of pre-warming of hatching eggs just prior to setting. Most authors cited by Mayes and Takeballi (1984) pre-warmed eggs for 18 to 24 hours at room temperature (Funk and Forward, 1960;Proudfoot, 1966).…”

“…According to these results, they suggested that the influence of water loss during storage on hatching results is limited, under practical conditions. Although the loss of water during storage is minimal compared with the loss of water during the whole incubation period, it is often advised to minimize water loss during storage (Mayes and Takeballi, 1984;Walsh et al, 1995).…”

When egg storage periods are prolonged (>7 days), hatchability and chick quality declines. The reason for this decline has been investigated, but is still not completely understood. At oviposition the developmental stage of the chicken embryo varies and so do the total number of viable cells. During storage, changes can occur in the embryo. Embryo viability at the end of storage seems to be dependent on the number of viable cells and the developmental stage of the embryo at oviposition. When the hypoblast is completely formed (during the quiescent developmental stage), the embryo seems to be more able to endure prolonged storage periods than embryos that are less or more advanced. During storage, changes also occur in egg characteristics such as albumen viscosity, albumen pH and yolk pH. There appears to be an interaction between albumen pH and embryo viability during early incubation and perhaps also during storage. An albumen pH of 8.2 seems to be optimal for embryo development. Albumen pH may influence embryo viability, but embryo viability may in turn, affect albumen pH. It has been hypothesised that an embryo in which the hypoblast is completely formed is better able to provide an effective barrier between the internal embryo and the exterior (yolk and albumen) and/or is better able to produce sufficient amount of carbon dioxide, which will reduce the pH level in the micro environment of the embryo to the optimal pH of 8.2. It appears that, to maintain hatchability and chick quality after prolonged storage periods, embryonic development should be advanced to the stage in which the hypoblast is completely formed or the atmosphere during storage and early incubation should be altered in such a way that albumen pH is maintained at the optimal level of 8.2.

Özet: Bu araşt ı rma farkl ı yaşlardaki broiler dam ızlı k sürülerden elde edilen yumurtalarda k ısa süreli depolaman ı n kuluçka özelliklerine etkisini belirlemek amac ıyla yürütülmü ştür. Çal ışmada, ayn ı genotipin 6 farkl ı yaştaki sürüleri kendi içinde genç (29-36 hafta), orta (46-49 hafta) ve ya şlı (52-66 hafta) olmak üzere 3 ya ş grubuna ayr ıimışt ı r. Depolama süresi olarak ise 3, 2, 1 ve O gün(depolanmayan) olmak üzere 4 grup olu şturulmu ş ve denemede toplam 42900 kuluçkal ı k yumurta kullan ı lmışt ır. Sürü yaş grubu ve depolama süresi aras ı nda erken ve son dönem embriyo ölümleri, ıskarta civciv oran ı ve ç ı kış gücü bak ım ından interaksiyon önemli bulunmu ştur(P<0.01). Genç sürü ya ş grubunda, depolama süreleri aras ı nda ç ı kış gücü bakı m ı ndan önemli bir fark tespit edilmezken, ya şl ı sürü grubunda depolama süresinin artmas ı ile birlikte ç ı kış gücü düşmüştür(P<0.01). Sonuç olarak ya şl ı sürü yumurtalar ı nı en k ısa sürede makineye yüklemenin uygun olaca ğı , genç sürüierden elde edilen yumurtalar ı ise 2-3 gün bekletmenin olumsuz bir etkisi olmad ığı tespit edilmiştir.Anahtar Kelirneler: Yumurta depolama süresi, broiler dam ızl ık, ç ıkış gücü Effects of Short Period Storage and Flock Ages on Hatchability of Broiler Breeder EggsAbstract: An experiment was conducted to determine how hatching performance is affected by breeder age during short term storage( O, 1, 2, 3 days). The trial involved a total of 42900 hatching eggs from six commercial broiler breeder flocks of the same strain but of different ages. As the differences of flock ages, the flocks were divided mainly three groups which are young(29-36th wks), middle(46-49th wks) and old (52-66th wks). Early and tate embryonic mortality, second quality chick and hatchability were affected by storage length and flock age(P<0.05). This data suggests that for optimum hatchability, eggs from older hens should be set as soon as as possible, while limited storage could be acceptabie for eggs from younger breeders.
