Evaluate the effects of packaging permeability, atmospheric gas exchange, and carbon dioxide levels on hatching egg viability during extended storage.
Monitored hatchability outcomes for chicken and turkey eggs held in plastic bags with differing levels of gas permeability.
Assessed the impact of air circulation by comparing control eggs housed in open filler flats against those stored in closed egg cases.
Plastic bag packaging with lower gas permeability improved egg hatchability over long storage durations relative to unpacked storage.
Excessive concentrations of carbon dioxide and oxygen during holding proved detrimental to embryo survival.
