Glucocorticoid administration during incubation: embryo mortality and posthatch growth in chickens.
The effects of glucocorticoids (GC) on embryonic mortality and posthatch BW were studied. Cortisol hemisuccinate or corticosterone in 0.1-mL vehicles were injected into the albumen of 7-d-old White Leghorn chicken embryos. Embryonic mortality rates and the age after injection at which death occurred were determined. When 0.02 to 20 microg cortisol per egg were injected in saline, total embryoni...
متن کاملStimulation with monochromatic green light during incubation alters satellite cell mitotic activity and gene expression in relation to embryonic and posthatch muscle growth of broiler chickens.
Previous studies showed that monochromatic green light stimuli during embryogenesis accelerated posthatch body weight (BW) and pectoral muscle growth of broilers. In this experiment, we further investigated the morphological and molecular basis of this phenomenon. Fertile broiler eggs (Arbor Acres, n=880) were pre-weighed and randomly assigned to 1 of the 2 incubation treatment groups: (1) dark...
متن کاملBroiler incubation. 2. Interaction of incubation and brooding temperatures on broiler chick feed consumption and growth.
The effect of either hot or cool brooding litter temperature on feed consumption, BW, and mortality of broiler chicks that had been exposed to either normal or high temperature during latter stages of incubation was studied in 2 experiments. The duration of experiments 1 and 2 was 14 and 21 d, respectively, with BW and feed consumption determined at 2, 5, 7, and 14 d of age in experiment 1 and ...
متن کاملInfluence of egg shell embryonic incubation temperature and broiler breeder flock age on posthatch growth performance and carcass characteristics.
A study was conducted to examine the posthatch growth performance of high-yielding broilers when eggs were incubated at 3 different embryo temperatures from 2 flocks of breeders at different ages (different egg size). Two thousand, four hundred eggs from 2 broiler breeder flocks (29 and 57 wk of age) of the same high-yielding strain (Cobb x Cobb) were incubated in the same incubator for 16 d at...
متن کاملEffect of incubation humidity and flock age on hatchability traits and posthatch growth in Pekin ducks.
This study was conducted to determine the effect of incubation relative humidity (RH) from 14 to 24 d of incubation during 3 parental ages on hatchability and posthatching growth of Pekin ducklings. Egg production was divided into 3 age groups (25-35, 36-55, and 56-65 wk). A total of 21,600 hatching eggs was subjected to 55, 60, 65, and 70% RH from 14 to 24 d, whereas standard conditions were u...
