Effective factors in increasing the fertility of ostriches;

Breeding is one of the most important parts of commercial farming, whether it is large or small. The hatching of eggs depends on the conditions of breeding birds. The percentage of unfertilized eggs in breeding ostriches is high compared to other domestic birds.

Currently, the average unfertilized egg in America is 42%, which is slightly lower in Europe. These issues have a great impact on the sales market. In this chapter, we discuss the effective factors in increasing the fertility of ostriches, which is important from an economic-commercial point of view. The problem of infertility is more case-by-case. This problem can be detected without breaking the eggs, which is called Canding, which means that we put the egg in front of the light. In this case, unfertilized eggs can be seen transparently if there is no germ cell in it. The light irradiation method is used to detect whether Canding is fertile on the 14th day of incubation. Of course, it is important to distinguish unfertilized eggs (in which there are no egg cells) from eggs in which the embryo has died. To detect this, the eggs must be tested quickly after incubation.

For a better conclusion, it should be tested once on the sixth or seventh day after incubation, and then on the fourteenth day. If you can’t beat the egg well through Canding
Reject the test, all eggs that have not hatched at the end of incubation should be broken, tested and divided.
