Hatching Success
Hatching Success is a process of egg incubation in which eggs are exposed to the optimal temperature and humidity for a certain period of time to encourage development of an embryo inside the egg. This process is used for a variety of animals, primarily for birds, fish and reptiles, and is aimed at improving the survival rate of offspring. It also reduces the need for animal breeders to be present during the entire process of embryogenesis and allows for cheaper, more efficient and less labour intensive production of offspring in farms. Additionally, hatching success is essential for the conservation of endangered species by helping to increase the number of animals of a species, as well as allowing for better control of their populations.
