Increasing the incubation temperature between embryonic day 7 and 10 has no influence on the growth and slaughter characteristics as well as meat quality of broilers
Avian embryogenesis can be manipulated by alteration of the temperature during incubation of the brooding egg. Investigations in turkeys showed that a higher temperature during early embryogenesis positively affects the myogenesis accompanied with a higher muscle fibre number (MFN). The aim of this...
