Egg storage conditions like temperature and humidity impact incubation success. The albumen, a key egg component, is most affected by these environmental factors below physiological zero.

Area of Science:

  • * Poultry Science
  • * Embryology
  • * Animal Reproduction

Background:

  • * Fertile egg storage involves complex interactions between environmental factors and the egg.
  • * These interactions influence incubation success, both above and below physiological zero.
  • * Physiological zero is the temperature at which embryonic metabolism is minimal.

Purpose of the Study:

  • * To investigate how storage conditions affect fertile eggs.
  • * To identify the primary egg component influenced by environmental factors during storage below physiological zero.

Main Methods:

  • * Analysis of environmental factors (temperature, humidity, gaseous environment) during egg storage.
  • * Examination of physical changes in egg components over time.
  • * Focus on changes occurring below physiological zero.

Main Results:

  • * Storage conditions significantly interact with fertile eggs over time.
  • * These interactions negatively or positively affect incubation success.
  • * The albumen was identified as the most dynamically affected component below physiological zero.

Conclusions:

  • * Albumen is the major contributor to environmental effects on the egg during storage below physiological zero.
  • * Understanding these albumen changes is crucial for optimizing incubation success.
  • * Storage environment management is critical for maintaining egg viability.
