Incubation and chick health

Code: 9781801465786
Ron Meijerhof, Poultry Performance Plus, The Netherlands

Chapter synopsis: Artificial incubation is an important part of the poultry production chain, both for broilers and layers. Not only because the success of incubation influences the costs of a day old chick, but it also has an influence on the quality of that chick. This quality is a crucial factor for obtaining optimum technical performance, both through the health status of the day old chick but also through the correct development of the embryo. Many factors are involved in producing a healthy day old chick, starting from a healthy breeder flock producing excellent egg quality through managing the incubation process and the hatching phase.
