Managing eggshell temperature for better hatchability and chick quality

The hatchability of chicken eggs significantly depends on a critical factor – the incubation temperature setpoints. While, in theory, the optimal eggshell temperature during incubation is 100°F (37.8°C), achieving and maintaining this is far from a straightforward task. This article describes the fundamental impact of eggshell temperature and how hatchery managers can effectively manage the incubation temperature to ensure optimal results. To effectively manage incubation temperature, it
