Abstract:

Hatching is an important part of poultry production. Egg management and hatching technology directly affect the propagation efficiency and production efficiency of excellent seed sources. Under the current poultry production system, it is inevitable to extend the storage time of eggs in order to obtain enough eggs that can be hatched at the same time. Improper storage of eggs not only has a negative impact on their hatching performance, but also affects the embryonic development process and even leads to a decline in chick quality. Therefore, studying the changes of key indicators related to the storage period of eggs and developing corresponding technologies to improve hatchability have attracted widespread attention from the industry and researchers. This review will synthesize existing research findings to explore the latest advances in the relationship between changes during egg storage caused by environmental factors and the corresponding technologies for improving hatchability. It will also look forward to future research directions, providing a theoretical basis for improving the reproduction efficiency and economics profits of breeders production.

Key words: environment factors, egg storage, improving hatchability
