Interactive Effects of Incubation Temperature and In Ovo Feeding on Hatchability, Organ Development, Bone Minerals and Blood Metabolites in Broiler Chicks
Optimal results were achieved with glucose injection at 37.0°C and 37.5°C, improving hatchability, intestinal development and bone mineralisation, whereas vitamin-D3 supplementation at lower temperatures negatively impacted hatchability and metabolic balance.
