Abstract:
The article discusses veterinary and sanitary rules in poultry farming, focusing on
evaluating egg quality by examining their weight, shape, and external appearance, particularly
the condition of the shell. Information is provided on the "Universal-55" and Chinese "HB-
22528" incubators.
Keywords:
egg, incubation, incubator, candling lamp, ventilation, embryo.
Introduction
In Uzbekistan, the development and comprehensive support of the poultry industry involve
introducing advanced technologies and innovative solutions, deepening the processing of poultry
products, expanding product varieties and export scope, and producing competitive poultry
products. This ensures a stable and sufficient supply of affordable poultry products to the
population.
As stated in the Presidential Decree of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. PQ-4015, dated
November 13, 2018, titled "Additional Measures for Further Development of Poultry Farming,"
consistent measures are being implemented to develop the poultry sector, increase the volume
and diversity of export-oriented finished products, and ensure the population's access to high-
quality and affordable locally produced poultry products.
Egg incubation and chick hatching are considered essential zootechnical activities. Proper
management of these processes ensures a consistent supply of young birds throughout the year,
thereby meeting demands and accelerating reproduction and product output. Artificial egg
incubation is carried out in modern incubation facilities, where processes such as egg reception,
categorization, storage, disinfection, incubation in universal incubators (models 45-55-90), chick
hatching, and cleaning of all used equipment are performed.
Eggs are sourced from flocks raised with roosters, ensuring fertilization and their suitability for
hatching. The incubation facilities are prepared according to specific norms before accepting
eggs from parent flocks. Data on chick hatching processes are presented in the table included in
the article.

Justification Based on the Data in the Table : The incubation facility of the poultry farm is in a
proper zootechnical condition to accept eggs and carry out the required technological processes.
Eggs brought from the parent flock were delivered to the reception area of the incubation facility.
The number and cleanliness of the eggs were checked, and selected eggs were recorded in a

specialized journal. Eggs that did not meet the requirements were immediately separated and
sent for consumption, with the producer being notified.
Once these tasks were completed, eggs deemed suitable for incubation based on visual
characteristics were moved to the sorting area. Selection criteria included the eggs’ elliptical or
oval shape, clean and unblemished shells, and smooth surfaces. Eggs with intact yolks and
albumen that did not mix were selected. The yolk was required to be positioned in the center.
Sorting was carried out on a specialized table, and each selected egg was candled to verify
fertilization before being placed into trays.
Eggs were sorted by the age of the chickens and then transferred to storage rooms with
appropriate microclimate conditions. From the storage area, the eggs were moved to the
disinfection room equipped with electric heaters and ventilation systems to maintain proper
temperature and air circulation. Before incubation, the eggs underwent disinfection using a
formaldehyde solution prepared with 30 ml of formalin and 20 grams of potassium
permanganate mixed into one cubic meter of water. The prepared solution was sprayed with fans,
and during this process, windows were sealed, and lighting was dimmed. After disinfection, the
facility was ventilated, and the eggs were transferred to the incubation chamber, placed in
incubators, and monitored.
The quality of eggs is determined by their morphological structure and various factors, primarily
genetics and nutrition. According to poultry scientists and specialists, the composition and
quality of eggs suitable for incubation depend largely on hereditary traits and feeding conditions.
Among these factors, this study focused on examining the influence of hereditary conditions.
Currently, parent flocks in all industrial poultry farms are kept on deep litter. Therefore,
incubation eggs were sourced from hens maintained on deep litter systems. The quality
indicators of eggs from these flocks include weight, shape, fertilization, shell color, cleanliness,
intactness, air cell diameter, and placement. These indicators were examined visually and
through weighing. The primary visual indicator for determining incubation suitability was egg
shape. Observations revealed that eggs of elliptical and oval shapes were prevalent, with
elliptical eggs significantly outnumbering oval ones.
