High Hatchability
Important In Eggs
The hatching egg business in
North Carolina goes on the year
'round and one of the problems of
producers and hatcherymen alike
is that of maintaining a high rate
of h&tchabllity.
R. S. Dearstyne, head of the
department of poultry science at
N. C. Sta^ College, said many
things go to make a high rate of
hatchabilKy. Inheritance and indi
vidual characteristics of birds, the
diet, the management practices, all
are Important. But there is anoth
er important factor?the care and
storage eggs receive until they are
placed in the incubators.
Dearstyne explains that when
hot weather sets in, maintaining a
suitable temperature and humidity
for eggs is a real problem. This is
especially true in Eastern North
Carolina where the water table is
high and where it is difficult to
construct an egg-holding room six
to eight feet below ground level.
The best temperature for hold
ing hatching eggs is from 45 to 55
degrees, says Dearstyne. Fertile
eggs start to germinate at about 70
degrees. The relative humidity
should be about 75 per cent.
As suitable bel<fe-ground egg
holding rooms are difficult to con
struct in Eastern North Carolina
some other approach becomes nec
essary. At the Wtllard Test Farm
in Pender County researchers have
solved the problem. They built, for
less than $800, an Insulated egg
holding room with suitable cooling
machinery. During the hot summer
months last Fear the room proved
its value. It is 75 by 10 by 8 feet
and holds 50 cases of eggs.
