Stavropol scientists have optimized the process of incubation of quail eggs

The author of the scientific development is Artem Boyarinov, a student of the biotechnology faculty of SSAU, the owner of a grant in the field of science and innovation for young scientists under the Priority 2030 program.

In the course of scientific research under the guidance of Professor, DOCTOR of Agricultural Sciences. Elena Epimakhova, the young scientist studied the effect of several stimulant drugs on embryonic and postnatal development in combination with various incubation regimens (all studies were carried out in the SSAU scientific and educational vivarium on quails of the White Texas breed). As a result, the university scientists created the most effective method of artificial hatching using optimal indicators of humidity and temperature in the incubator using the best stimulating drug.

Optimization of the incubation process ensured the hatching of 85% of the chicks. At the same time, the predicted value of the effectiveness of the method from the Federal Scientific Center "VNITIP" RAS was 75%. The data obtained at the end of the experiment can be useful for agricultural enterprises and small businesses for intensive poultry farming.
