- Abstract
This study aims to identify and to provide information about the effect of the best egg turning frequency of the best eggs on hatching, hatching weight, and mortality of quail embryos. This research was carried out at Poultry Laboratory, Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Halu Oleo University in Kendari. It used 150 quail eggs. The research method used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with three treatments and five replications, where each treatment was tested for the frequency of egg turning P1 (Four times/day), P2 (5 times/day), and P3 (Six times/day). The variables observed were hatchability, hatching weight, and mortality of quail embryos. The data obtained were then tabulated and analysed using SPSS 15 analysis. The results showed that the frequency of egg turning had a significant effect on embryo mortality and substantially impacted hatchability but it did not have significant effect on hatching weight.
