VERGARA, AMALIA A. Cavite State University, Indang Cavite. April 2007. Correlation of Weight and Hatchability Rate of Less than 24-Hour Eggs. Adviser: Dr. Louella Maria A.
Custodio.

The relation of individual egg weight and hatchability rate of less than 24-hour eggs was determined from a total of five hundred randomly selected eggs of Hubbard strain, Parent Stock (PS) 58, thirty-four weeks and four days of age from a poultry breeder farm. The eggs were weighed individually and grouped into six according to their weights.

After 21 days of incubation, eggs weighing 62 to 64 grams yield the highest hatchability rate compared to other groups. However, chi-square and Pearson product moment correlation analyses shows that there is no significant relationship between the weight and hatchability rate of eggs forensics. Other anatomical features such as medulla type, hair length, color and size should also be taken into consideration. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis, a more specific method could also be employed provided it is locally available.
