Abstract

Compared with other poultry, artificial incubation of ostrich eggs has its specificities, and includes the collection, determining freshness, hygiene, storage, pre-incubation heating and the very incubation of eggs. Observing all the factors during artificial incubation will provide for an optimum hatchability of ostrich eggs, which is the basic requirement in every breeding.
