Effects of layer breeder age and reduced incubator oxygen concentrations on embryo development, hatching events, chick quality, embryonic mortality and hatchability of fertile eggs

The combined effects of breeder age and oxygen (O2) concentrations on embryo development, hatching events, chick quality, embryonic mortality and hatchability were investigated. A total of 900 hatching eggs of average weight of 53.85 ± 2.40 g and 60.42 ± 2.02 g from 33 to 50 wks ISA layer breeders w...
