Table 1. Percentage (%) hatching success of Japanese quail eggs injected through the air cell or albumen with 0.1 or 0.5µl per gram of egg of corn oil, triolein or the fatty acid mix, then incubated in the ‘vertical’ or ‘horizontal’ position. All eggs are rotated through 60° every hour.
Table 2. Step-wise log-linear regression results of hatching success following egg injections at ED0. Results are shown for terms and interactions for which p < 0.05.
Table 3. Effect of time of year on hatching success of vehicle, sham and untreated Japanese quail eggs from the University of Maryland, College Park, random bred colony. All laying pairs were less than 12 months of age, eggs were incubated according to standard poultry practices and were injected with 0.1µl/g of egg of vehicle into the air cell.
