Embryonic Growth, Hatching Time and Hatchability Performance of Meat Breeder Eggs Incubated under Continuous Green Light

Incubation of eggsEggs were set in Maino, force-draft incubator (Model II, Maino Enrico, Co., Italy) and incubated at 37.5°C and 55% relative humidity.The egg compartment of the incubator (85 cm deep, 50.5 cm width and 83.5 cm height) was divided into two compartments with black cloth for the control (dark) and light treatments.The black cloth was used to overcome any problem associated with air movement.The incubator walls were also covered with black sheets of paper to prevent any reflection of light.In a pilot experiment, there were no differences in temperature Embryonic Growth, Hatching Time and Hatchability Performance of Meat Breeder Eggs Incubated under Continuous Green Light
