Abstract

The aim of this study was to standardize the turning frequencies for incubator manufacture to achieve maximum profitability for poultry industry. The eggs (n=2692800) from Ross, Cobb and IR SP01, 02, 03 (Young Flocks 24-30 weeks), SP04 (Prime flock 31+), SP165, ZF168, JV-06, SP173 (Old flocks 51+) and molted flocks (60+ weeks) flocks SSF24, SSF25, SSF26, SP162, SP167 were collected and divided into two groups (control & experimental). In control group the turning duration was 45 minutes for day (1-6), from 7 to 19th day the turning duration was between two consecutive turnings was 60 minutes. The turning angle 45°was same for all incubation days in setters. The time between two consecutive turnings at 180° was one minute from day (1-16th), 5 minutes, 10 minutes and 15 minutes for day (17th, 18th, and 19th) respectively. The fans rotations were also same inside incubators 55 minutes clockwise and 5 minutes anticlockwise for all incubation days. In Experimental group (G-B) the eggs turning was performed after every 45 minutes for the first six days (0-6 days), (from 7-13th days) the eggs turning was performed after every 60 minutes, (14-15 day) the eggs turning was after every 55 minutes, (16th day) the turning was after 50 minutes and last three days (17-19 days) in setters the eggs turning was after 45 minutes. The turning angle 45°was same for all incubation days in setters. The fans rotations were also same inside incubators 55 minutes clockwise and 5 minutes anticlockwise for all incubation days (table 2) Group-B. The time between two consecutive turnings at 180° was one minute from day (1-16) and 5 minutes, 10 minutes and 15 minutes for (17, 18, and 19 days) respectively. The hatchery parameters fertility (94.10 ± 0.49 a, 93.82 ± 0.48a), Hatchability (86.04 ± 1.42a, 86.76 ± 1.18a), candling (5.90 ± 0.49a, 6.18 ± 0.48a) and dead in shell (8.06 ± 1.14a, 7.06 ± 0.95a) were insignificant (P<0.05). The embryonic mortalities e-g early (0.66 ± 0.12a, 0.55 ± 0.10a), mid (0.26 ± 0.04a, 0.28 ± 0.05a) and late embryonic mortalities (7.14 ± 1.10a, 6.23 ± 0.93a) were also insignificant (P<0.05). In conclusion the change in turning frequencies after day thirteen may not affect the incubation standard.
