A very good research. Although we know the importance of temperature and its influence during the life cycle of poultry but this excellent research demonstrated that higher temperature or uneven temperature, even, during incubation could result in adverse results. Other issue that require attention during hatching procedure in proper circulation of air inside incubator, fresh air should reach every corner of the machine so that excessive heat could be removed from the eggs. This article demonstrates that with proper management to control heat and circulation inside incubator would result in better performance, not only at hatching but also after during growth of the bird.

The author discussed very important issue about chick quality. The variation in egg weight of a flock also affect chick quality. The subsequent performance of chick also depend on the machines have single stage or multistage settings.

The researcher acually put the importance of temperature during egg incubation and its affects on post hatching chickes . I woud to add that the level of carbon dioxied
during the incubation and hatching especially at high tempreature has effec on hathability and weight of chickes and its performance after hathing

I am very much thankful to the Author for sharing his case study on Engormix. Its a

self explainatory that how Hatching temperature & Egg size affect the performance

of pulled out chicks at commercial farm level.

Thanks & regards
