INTRODUCTION Frequently incubator temperatures ale varied by the introduction of "cold" eggs either weekly or biweekly to the incubator chamber in which eggs set previously are under incubation. The question arises whether this variation in incubating environmental temperatures has an efiect on hatchability. Some field observations indicate if eggs are in contact with each other during the later stages of incubation, hatchability will be higher than when eggs are separated from each other. lt has also been suggested that the concentration of eggs on the hatching tray may affect hatchability. This is a report of experiments designed to investigate the effects on hatchability of: () fluctuating incubation temperatures resulting from introducing "cold" eggs to incubator chambers containing eggs under incubation; () different numbers of eggs on the hatching tray; and (3) eggs separated vs. in contact on the hatching tray. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eggs were collected for experiments,, and 3 from a commelcial strain-cross of meat parent birds. Collection of eggs for experiment commenced when the parent birds were 300 days of age and experiments and 3 commenced when the flock was 440 and 447 days of age, respectively. In experiment, seven Jamesway 5 incubator units designated A, B, C, D, E, F, and G were involved. Units A and B were used to set four trays in each Can. J. Anin. Sci (Sept. 97) 459
2 460 canadian JouRNAL of ANTMAL scrence Can. J. Anim. Sci. Downloaded from by on 04/8/8 incubator of 80 eggs each week for 5 consecutive weeks. The eggs were taken directly from an e-eg cooler operated at l C each week and placed in the incubator at once. Unit C was used to prewarm eight trays each containing 80 eggs for 6 hr prior to setting four trays in each of units D and E. Unit F was used to hatch eggs from units A and B and unit G was used to hatch eggs from units D and E. Data from the st, 4th, and 5th weekly settings were not included. Data from the two middle weekly settings were used to evaluate the effect of these treatments. Data from the first settings were not included as the incubator only contained four trays of prior set eggs when the temperature treatments were executed at the time of the second setting. Data frorn the fourth setting were not included because these eggs were temperature-treated only once, and the fifth setting was not temperature-treated because no further settings were made. Thus, hatching eggs were introduced weekly and set in incubators that had eggs under incubation for 7 and 4 days. Experiment was designed to study the effect on hatchability of difierent numbers of eggs in the hatching tray separated and in contact. Two thousand eggs were collected the day prior to placing them under incubation in a Jamesway 5 incubator. On the 8th day of incubation eggs were candled and infertile eggs and eggs containing dead embryos were discarded. Embryonated eggs were transferred to hatching trays as follows: ( ) four trays each with 30 eggs in contact with each other and four trays each with 30 eggs separated on the tray; () two trays each with 60 eggs in contact and two trays with 60 eggs separated; and (3) two control trays containing 50 eggs in contact. Tray positions in the incubator were allocated at randorn. The area of each hatching tray was 4375 cm'. For experiment 3, eggs were collected over a 3-day period and incubated in a Jamesway 5 unit. On the 8th day of incubation eggs were candled and infertile eggs and eggs containing dead embryos were removed and eggs containing live embryos were transferred to three incubator units. Embryonated eggs were allocated at random to 4 trays each containing 30 eggs. In one-half of these trays eggs were spread over the trays in such a way to avoid eggs being in contact with each other. In the remaining trays the 30 eggs were kept in contact by using a wire fabric partition. Each unit contained seven trays with eggs in contact and seven trays with eggs separated. Experiment 4 was designed to further elucidate the effects on hatchability of eggs separated and in contact during hatching. In experiment 4 eggs were obtained from two commercial meat-type strain-crosses when they were 70 days of age. On the 8th day of incubation, eggs containing live embryos were transferred to trays in each of five incubator units with 30 eggs per tray. One-half the trays in each unit contained eggs separated on the tray and^tne eggs in the remaining trays were kept in contact by the use of a wire fabric partition. Thus, each incubator unit contained three trays of each treatment for each straincross. In all experiments cheese cloth was spread on the floor of the tray prior to placing eggs in the hatching tray. For experiment t hatchability was based on the number of eggs set but for experiments,3, and 4 hatchability was based on fertile eggs transferred on the 8th day of incubation. Percentage data were converted to angles for analysis of variation for all experiments.
3 PROUDFOOT-HATCHABILITY OF CHICKEN EGGS 46r Can. J. Anim. Sci. Downloaded from by on 04/8/8 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The weekly introduction of "cold" eggs (from an egg storage temperature of C) initially reduced air temperature within the incubators from 37.4 C to 3.4 C. It required 3 hr for the temperature to return to 37.4 C (Fig. ). These results provide evidence that the variation in incubator temperature did not result in an overall detrimental effect. The statistical analyses also revealed that hatchability differed between the two incubator units (Tables and 5). These results agree with Landauer's (967) review in which he indicated that periodic cooling at room temperature during incubation had no practical effect on hatchability, although a number of investigators continue to claim advantages from regular periods of cooling. It is assumed that although the incubator air temperature was altered considerably by this treatment, the embryonic temperature change was much less. Results of experiment (Tables and 5) demonstrated the absence of difierential hatchability when either 30, 60, or 50 eggs were arranged either in contact or spread out cver the hatching tray. There was some indication that F 3 30 TIME {MINUIES) Fig..

Experiments 3 and 4 were initiated to examine this problem further. Results of experiment 3 (Tables 3 and 5) demonsttate that when 30 eggs were set per tray they hatched equally well whether they were in close proximity during hatching oi spread separately ovel the hatching tray. In this experiment there was no significant difierence between the three incubator units. The results of experiment 4 are presented in Tables 4 and 5 and further substantiate results obtained from experiments and 3. In this experiment eggs separated on the hatching tray hatched the same as eggs in contact on the hatching tray. Eggs from two cornmercial broiler strains were used in experiment 4 and both genotypes reacted to this treatment in a similar manner. Vince and Cheng (,970) reported that proximity of eggs afiected the. time of hatch. This phenomenon was not evaluated in this study; however, this may be of little practical importance if hatchability is unaffected. It is concluded that variable incubation temperatures resulting from the weekly setting of two-sevenths of the incubator capacity had no significant overall effect on subsequent hatchability. Evidence is provided that the number of hatching eggs per tray had no effect on hatchability. Contrary to reports frorn the field
