2002 journal article

Effect of flock age, length of egg storage, and frequency of turning during storage on hatchability of broiler hatching eggs

Poultry Science, 81(7), 945–950.

By: O. Elibol *, S. Peak* & J. Brake*

author keywords: turning; egg storage; hatchability; embryonic mortality; broiler hatching egg
MeSH headings : Aging; Agriculture / methods; Animals; Chick Embryo / growth & development; Chick Embryo / physiology; Chickens; Fertility; Ovum / physiology; Temperature; Time Factors
TL;DR: A significant interaction of flock age x turning in storage for hatchability of fertile eggs in Experiment 1 suggested that eggs from an older broiler breeder flock that exhibit reduced fertility benefited more from turning during storage than did eggs from a young broiler Breeder flock.

2000 journal article

Effects of Relative Humidity During Incubation on Hatchability and Body Weight of Broiler Chicks from Young Breeder Flocks

Poultry Science, 79(6), 827–830.

By: J. Bruzual n, S. Peak n, J. Brake n & E. Peebles *

author keywords: hatchability; embryo mortality; incubation; relative humidity; broiler breeders
MeSH headings : Animals; Body Weight; Chick Embryo / physiology; Chickens / physiology; Humidity; Time Factors
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, although a high RH during incubation produced chicks with increased BW at hatch, this extra weight was greatly reduced by time of pull, which suggests a significant rate of evaporation even in the presence of high RH. (via Semantic Scholar)

2000 journal article

Effects of relative humidity during the last five days of incubation and brooding temperature on performance of broiler chicks from young broiler breeders

Poultry Science, 79(10), 1385–1391.

By: J. Bruzual n, S. Peak n, J. Brake n & E. Peebles*

author keywords: hatchability; embryo mortality; incubation; young broiler breeders; brooding
MeSH headings : Animals; Chick Embryo / physiology; Chickens / growth & development; Chickens / physiology; Female; Humidity; Male; Temperature; Time Factors; Weight Gain
TL;DR: Chick quality problems that may be due to high or low RH during incubation can be ameliorated by proper brooding conditions, and optimal chick performance was achieved at 53% RH. (via Semantic Scholar)

2000 journal article

Effects of two planes of nutrition on performance and uniformity of four strains of broiler chicks

JOURNAL OF APPLIED POULTRY RESEARCH, 9(2), 185–194.

By: S. Peak n, T. Walsh n, C. Benton n, J. Brake n & P. Van Horne

author keywords: body weight; broiler; carcass yield; feed conversion; nutrition; uniformity
TL;DR: The data indicate that uniformity may be negatively impacted by a lower than NRC plane of nutrition, but careful application of low protein diets along with selection of an appropriate processing age will minimize the negative impact. (via Semantic Scholar)
