Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is widely recognised that developments in the chick embryo have a profound effect on hatchability and the subsequent health and productive capacity of poultry. With a stronger focus on welfare, prevention of disease and more sustainable poultry production, understanding these early stages has never been more crucial. Embryo development and hatchery practice in poultry production addresses the key stages and factors in embryo development in poultry to optimise hatchability and chick health. The book reviews the role of parental and environmental factors on embryo development and skeletal growth, as well as the use of feed extracts and probiotics to improve chick growth and boost immune function. The book also reviews the effects of incubation on chick health and development, including factors such as temperature, light exposure and humidity. Through focussed and authoritative discussions, the book details best practices for managing a hatchery environment to ensure that chick welfare, health and productive capacity are optimized. Edited by one of the most notable names in the field, Embryo development and hatchery practice in poultry production will be a standard reference for poultry scientists, breeders, government and private sector agencies supporting sustainable poultry production.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book gives a practical procedures needed for sucessful incubation of chicken eggs from the arrival and quality control of hatching eggs including sucessful incubation of chicken eggs till the placement of dayold chicks in the farm.It is a unique book because it not only gives theoritical information about incubation of eggs on large-scale basis but also provides practical approach in the form of trouble shooting charts on the basis of gross observation of discarded eggs and its diagnosis.It would be helpful as a practical guideline for field diagnosis of faults in in hatchability not only at the flock level but also during incubation. There is a section which deals with important diseases relavent to hatchery borne infections. The book is written with commercial industry in mind because of the difficulties faced by breeders, farmers, managers and technicians of hatcheries in realizing the genetic potential of present day breeding stock.The book contains a vivid description about the establishment and working of a modern hatchery.

Book excerpt: The transition towards limiting the use of antibiotics in the production of commercial broiler chickens has challenged the Canadian poultry industry to consider alternate approaches to managing bird health and disease. A focus on optimizing early health and performance has led us to investigate parameters in the incubation environment that encourage superior embryo development and chick quality. Two experiments were conducted to understand how different lighting programs affect embryonic development, hatch traits and production parameters of commercial broilers. Experiment 1 focused on the effects of light wavelength and consisted of four replicate trials. Broiler hatching eggs (Ross 308) were incubated in dark or illuminated with white, red or blue LED light for 12 h per d-1 (12L:12D). Our results demonstrated that providing a 12L:12D photoperiod did not affect hatch traits compared to those incubated under darkness. Provision of blue or white illumination resulted in increased feed consumption and body weight, and a reduced variation in cloaca temperature for chicks at a young age. Red light stimulation had a stronger response to vaccination on d 14 of age. The effects of blue LED illumination with two photoperiods (12L:12D or 18L:6D) on two strains of broilers (Ross 308 and Cobb 500) were compared to no illumination in Experiment 2. Both strains incubated with periodic illumination had lower air cell temperatures than those under constant darkness. The response of air cell temperature to periodic illumination differed between two strains. Cobb embryos had lower air cell temperature in 12L:12D than those incubated with 18L:6D from d 16 of incubation onwards, whereas lower air cell temperature was found in Ross embryos when illuminated with 18L:6D photoperiod compared to those under 12L:12D. Broilers hatched under 12L:12D had improved navel condition than those under dark, and higher feed consumption in the first 6 h post-placement compared to 18L:6D. In conclusion, in ovo photostimulation with white and blue light under a 12L:12D photoperiod improved early growth of broilers. The depressed production parameters found in 18L:6D suggests that the duration of darkness should be more than 6 h d-1 when providing a periodic illumination during incubation.

Book excerpt: This outstanding work is the only modern book devoted to the chick embryo and has been an essential resource for geneticists, molecular and developmental biologists, and other life scientists who use the chick embryo as their research model. This new enlarged and updated second edition is published in response to continuing demand. The text provides a detailed description of development, from fertilization to hatching, with emphasis on the earlier stages though also covering individual organ systems in detail. There are reviews of the more recent molecular research and a new section highlighting the important landmarks in the history of chick embryology which have had an impact on our understanding of developmental processes. The book is beautifully illustrated with 74 text-figures and over 500 photographs, including nearly 200 new scanning electron micrographs. Updated and expanded text to accompany diagrams More than 200 new labelled scanning electron micrographs showing individual tissues in great detail Reviews of recent molecular research Discusses the roles of genes such as Hox genes, BMPs, and sonic hedgehog during early development New sections on genetical anomalies, techniques, and the poultry industry

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 1422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commercial Chicken Meat and Egg Production is the 5th edition of a highly successful book first authored by Dr. Mack O. North in 1972, updated in 1978 and 1984. The 4th edition was co-authored with Donald D. Bell in 1990. The book has achieved international success as a reference for students and commercial poultry and egg producers in every major poultry producing country in the world. The 5th edition is essential reading for students preparing to enter the poultry industry, for owners and managers of existing poultry companies and for scientists who need a major source of scientifically based material on poultry management. In earlier editions, the authors emphasized the chicken and its management. The 5th edition, with the emphasis shifted to the commercial business of managing poultry, contains over 75% new material. The contributions of 14 new authors make this new edition the most comprehensive such book available. Since extensive references are made to the international aspects of poultry management, all data are presented in both the Imperial and Metric form. Over 300 tables and 250 photos and figures support 62 chapters of text. New areas include processing of poultry and eggs with thorough discussions of food safety and further processing. The business of maintaining poultry is discussed in chapters on economics, model production firms, the use of computers, and record keeping. Updated topics include: breeders and hatchery operations; broiler and layer flock management; replacement programs and management of replacements; nutrition; and flock health. New chapters address flock behavior, ventilation, waste management, egg quality and egg breakage. Other new features include a list of more than 400 references and a Master List of the tables, figures, manufacturers of equipment and supplies, research institutions, books and periodicals, breeders, and trade associations. Commercial growers will find the tables of data of particular interest; scientists will be able to utilize the extensive references and to relate their areas of interest to the commercial industry's applications; and students will find that the division of the book into 11 distinct sections, with multiple chapters in each, will make the text especially useful.
