A study was carried out to assess the quality of hatching eggs from layer breeders (COBB 430) and their hatching performance. For this purpose, a total of sixty eggs collected from a private farm located at Muthugapatti, Namakkal district were subjected for analysis. The internal quality were determined by measuring Haugh unit, Albumin index, yolk index, yolk colour and shell thickness whereas external quality by gauging egg weight, shape index, surface area and cleanliness. Similarly, the surface microbial load was determined by assessing for Total Viable Count (TVC), Coliform count (CC) and Staphylococcal count (SC). Further, a batch of the eggs was set in the hatchery incubator to determine the hatching performance. The results obtained are presented and S discussed.
