Sažetak

In this research study, hatchability results and some internal egg quality characteristics of 0, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9 d stored eggs in RIR were examined. It was determined that the effect of storage time on hatchability, hatchability of fertile eggs, embryonic mortality, chick weight, albumen weight, yolk weight, albumen index, yolk index and Haugh unit was significant (P<0.05). There was no positive or negative effect of storage time on the fertility rates, but there was a negative effect of storage time on egg weight, hatchability, embryonic development and chick weight on d 3 (P<0.05). It was determined that prolonged storage time caused a decrease in the albumen weight, yolk weight, albumen index, yolk index and Haugh unit value of Rhode Island Red eggs. Rhode Island Red eggs should not be stored more than 3 d.
