Abstract<br />

This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of relative humidity during incubation<br />

(0-18.5 d) on hatchability and broiler performance in two Experiments. The broiler breeder<br />

ages were 31 wk and 60 wk in Experiment 1 and 2, respectively. Egg weight loss in high<br />

and normal RH groups, were 8.5 %, and 12.4 % in Experiment 1 and 9.6 %, and 11.3% in<br />

Experiment 2, respectively. Although egg weight loss decreased significantly with higher RH<br />

treatment (P0.05).<br />
