Effects of incubation temperature pattern on broiler performance

Effects of incubation temperature pattern on broiler performance

During incubation, development of embryos is affected by eggshell temperature (EST). A constant EST of 37.8°C has been considered so far to result in most optimal embryo development. However, it can be hypothesized that a higher EST in week 2 in combination with a lower EST in week 3 stimulates embr...
