摘要

Achieving quality hatching eggs is the end goal for all breeding operations. Management of the hatchery is obviously critical in ensuring a solid hatch and good start for the chick, but predominantly, quality starts with the parent stock. Quality canmean several things, from hatchability to shell strength to chick viability and offspring performance. One factor that can influence all of these is breeder gut health.
