Hatchability has always been a matter of concern for the breeding farm and hatchery managers it is always desired by the day old chicks producers to get maximum number of chicks in a hatch,however in addition to many factors affecting the hatchability as the author describes handling of hatching eggs is of utmost importance to get maximum hatchability.The cost of automation should not be a problem for a breeding farmer rather quality and quantity of hatching eggs. A very good and informative article.

Good article about handling of hatching eggs. As stated by the author,automation will definitely help to improve the hatchability and infection free eggs.Though the initial cost of automation will be more, returns will be much more compared to manual handeling.Moreover recurring expenses will be less.
