The study aims to determine the impact of egg storage duration on hatch spread, chick quality, and juvenile growth.
1,800 incubating eggs from Cobb broiler breeders were analyzed with storage durations of 3 or 18 days.
Chick quality was scored based on qualitative characteristics and growth was measured at 7 days.
Statistical analysis to evaluate the effects of storage duration on hatch timing, quality, and growth.
Eggs stored for 3 days hatched earlier than those stored for 18 days (P < 0.05).
Eighteen-day storage decreased high-quality chick percentage and average quality scores (P < 0.05).
Relative growth was negatively affected by storage duration and chick quality (P < 0.05).
