Automation of Hatching Egg Collection is Important to Broiler Breeder
Maximising hatchability and minimising floor eggs are the two most important criteria when equipping a new broiler breeder house, farmer Anton Janssen told ThePoultrySite editor, Jackie Linden when she visited his farm recently.

Effect of Incubating Poor Quality Broiler Breeder Hatching Eggs
D.E. Yoho, J.R. Moyle, A.D. Swaffar and R.K. Bramwell of the University of Arkansas report on the effects of incubating poor quality broiler breeder hatching eggs on overall hatchability and hatch of fertile in the Winter 2008 issue of the Avian ...

Brave New Farm: GE Food Animals in the USA
Imagine a new kind of food farm: animals that flourish on infertile lands, eat less but grow faster; there is no fear of disease, or environmental side-effects on these farms and the animals produce meat that is lean, safe and nutritious. Think of all...

Darwin Was Wrong About the Wild Origin of the Chicken
Charles Darwin maintained that the domesticated chicken derives from the red jungle fowl, but new research from Uppsala University now shows that the wild origins of the chicken are more complicated than that.
