Effects of litter exposure and flock age of broiler breeders on hatchability and the microbial composition of eggshells, egg membranes, and egg contents
Floor eggs represent a significant loss for broiler breeder farms and hatcheries due to the increased risk of bacterial contamination of embryos, the hatchery environment, and newly hatched chicks. In this trial, the effects of litter exposure duration (3, 6, and 16 h) and breeder flock age (22–23 w...
