What is the best way to store and treat eggs before incubation? How does incubation temperature influence the development of the embryo? What are the best practices during the hatching phase? In the last two decades knowledge about incubation has increased, but still numerous new questions and doubts are present.
In the course ‘Incubation biology and hatchery management’, new insights from research and developments in the field are presented. The programme is an excellent opportunity to deepen your knowledge and understanding of incubation biology and hatchery management.
The course includes a variety of presentations spread over two consecutivedays. The topics are introduced by a number of experts. There will be sufficient opportunity for discussion. In this course we will pay attention to the following subjects:
Phases of embryonic development
Pre-incubation and storage factors for incubation eggs
Incubation temperature during the setter and hatcher phase
