Abstract

This research was carried out in the fields of the College of Agriculture and Forestry, University of Mosul, and for a period of 63 days. It aimed to identify the effect of spraying and immersing hatching quail eggs with a 5% vinegar solution for two minutes on some hatching indicators and the productive performance of the progeny with three treatments; T1: control (no treatment) T2: Spray the eggs with a 5% vinegar solution. T3: Immersion the eggs with a 5% vinegar solution. After the eggs hatched, the progeny was raised from one day old until the end of the sixth week at 42 days old. Statistical analysis of the data showed that spraying and immersing eggs showed a significant increase in egg weight loss, a significant decrease in initial egg weight, shell weight, and shell thickness, a significant improvement in body weight, weight gain, and feed conversion factor of the progeny in the immersion and spraying treatments, and a decrease in the hatching rate and embryonic mortality due to the egg treatment Immersion in vinegar solution.
