EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE AND LIGHT DURING INCUBATION ON HATCHING, GROWTH AND LAYING PERFORMANCE IN CHICKENS
Mahmoud Hassan Abdel-Samad;
Abstract
The present study was carried out in the Poultry Breeding Stations of Takamoly Poultry Project, fayoum Governorate, where the two local strains (Fayoumi and Golden Montazah)
were chosen.
The study was conducted during the period from November 1995 up to August 1996 to study the effect of temperature and light during incubation on hatching, grwoth and laying performance in chickens.
A total of 2700 eggs were used in this study (1350 for Fayoumi strain (PP) averaged 42 grams, and 1350 for Golden Montazah strain (GM) averaged 48 grams.). The eggs of each strain were divided to 9 treatments (each treatment I SO eggs)
during incubation as the following:
1- Control group. [Optimum temperature 99.5 op at 1 - 18 days, the incubator was nonlighted (dark)]
2- High temperature. (the same as in control, but it was increased
to 102.5 op for 6 hours daily- dark)
3- Low temperature (the same as in control, but it was decreased to 96.5 op for 6 hours daily- dark).
4- Normal light (the eggs were incubated under continuous
normal light during the period from 1-18 days, while the
temperature 99.5 °F.
5- Fluorescent light (the same as in treatment 4, but with using fluorescent light.
were chosen.
