Findings reveal how genotype and laying stage influence egg traits and hatchability in breeder geese, suggesting management strategies to improve outcomes.
The findings indicate that genotype has a limited effect on hatchability under same conditions, whereas egg weight and laying stage are critical determinants of gosling quality. In the Linda genotype, reduced egg weight, particularly at the late laying stage, was associated with lower gosling weight, highlighting the importance of stage-specific incubation management in goose production.
