Studying Performance Following In-Ovo Injection
In-ovo feeding of turkey embryos can have the effect of increasing body weight gain and improving the use and take up of nutrients, research from North Carolina State University has shown, writes ThePoultrySite senior editor, Chris Harris.

Measuring Hatching Egg Shell Quality
A report into the effects of egg specific gravity and eggshell colour on hatchability by Jon Moyle, Doug Yoho and Keith Bramwell of University of Arkansas. They found that eggs with specific gravity values higher than 1.070 will hatch well, and that only...

Hatching at High Altitudes
By Pas Reform. The effects of hatching at high altitude on hatchability and chick quality depend largely on the altitude at which the hatching eggs are produced - and how the hatchery manager adjusts the incubation programme.
