Abstract:

A study was carried out to assess the internal, external and microbial quality of hatching eggs from layer breeders (BV 300) and their hatching performance. For this purpose, a total of sixty eggs were collected from a private farm located at Mudukurukki, Hosur, Krishnagiri District and 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 incubator to determine the hatching performance. The results obtained were discussed.
