During incubation, temperature drives chicken embryonic metabolism, development, and growth. Incubation conditions need to be adjusted to meet embryonic requirements to obtain optimal chick quality and hatchability. To obtain optimal chick quality, embryo temperature, rather than incubator temperature, needs to be controlled. Eggshell temperature (EST) can be used as a non-invasive method to determine embryo temperature. Download the entire article via the button below.
