Flock Age and Duration of Hatching Egg Storage in Japanese Quails: 2. Effects on Hatching Results
Abstract
In this study, the effects of flock age and storage length on hatching results in Japanese
quails were investigated. (Coturnix coturnix japonica). The effects of flock age (8, 12, 18, 25 and 30th
weeks) and storage duration (0, 1, 4 and 7th days) were investigated. Fertility decreased with
increasing flock age (P< 0,01). In addition, early embryonic mortality, hatchability of total and fertile
eggs was only significantly affected by flock age. Examined levels of the storage duration had no
significant effect on the examined hatching parameters.
