Effects of maternal nutrition on hatchability
TL;DR: The effects of dietary factors on the development and viability of avian embryos have been extensively documented and it is common for the effects on the embryo to also become more severe and to occur at earlier stages of development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin Profiles of Eggs as Indicators of Nutritional Status in the Laying Hen: Riboflavin Study
TL;DR: The results show that low albumen riboflavin content immediately affect hatchability and embryonic development and indicate that egg rib oflavin concentrations are related to important production parameters that may be used to predict future dietary ribOflavin inadequacies.
Book ChapterDOI
Biochemical Factors Influencing the Shelf Life of Dried Whole Eggs and Means for Their Control
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the composition and properties of the egg lipids that are significant factors in quality retention of the dried products and discuss several methods of evaluation that would show close correlation with palatability measurement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effectiveness of Dietary Supplements in Increasing Hatchability of Eggs and Viability of Progeny of Hens Fed a Diet Containing a High Level of Soybean Oil Meal
TL;DR: It seemed desirable to determine whether or not this property of cow manure is shared by other and more widely used feedstuffs and if possible to obtain some knowledge of the distribution of the factor responsible for the increased hatchability in order to facilitate attempts to determine its identity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Storage of an Unidentified Growth Factor or Factors in the Egg and Its Relation to Chick Growth and Mortality
James McGinnis,J. S. Carver +1 more
TL;DR: Bird, Rubin, Whitson, and Haynes (1946) reported that the hens’ diet had a marked influence on chick mortality and that supplementing the chick diet with a riboflavin deficient diet was recommended.
