✦ Synopsis

The hatchability rate did not show the significant differences between the groups of egg irradiated and the control group (P > 0.05). And the parameters such as average weight, feed conversion and week feed consumption did not show significant differences between the groups of eggs irradiated and the non irradiated group either (P > 0.05). The results that the electron irradiation on hatching eggs did not cause any effect on hatchability and broiler performance.
