| dc.description.abstract | This study on effect of egg size on the hatching performance of Beltsville Small White turkey showed that the egg size had significant (P<0.05) effect on the hatching performance of Beltsville Small White turkey. Eggs weighing 71 – 75g had significantly (P<0.05) higher fertile hatchability (77.81%), numerically high total hatchability (65.04%) and significantly (P<0.05) low dead in germs (6.12%) and dead in shell (16.07%). It is concluded that medium sized Beltsville Small White turkey eggs weighing 71 to 85 g are optimum for obtaining good hatchability. | en_US |
