Effects of incubation temperature and in ovo supplementation of glucose and vitamin D3 on eggshell temperature, embryonic mortality, hatchability, chick quality, and post-hatch performance in broiler chickens
Introduction Incubation temperature and embryonic nutrient availability are critical determinants of successful embryogenesis and early post-hatch performance in broilers. In ovo feeding has emerged as an effective strategy to enhance embryonic nutrient supply. However, the efficiency of nutrient utilization by develop...
