This project was planned to study the effect of storage time under specific temperature and humidity on fertility and hatchability of Japanese quail eggs.
A tota1 of' six hundred and thirty (630') eggs were purchased from a local breeding farm. Alter collection the eggs were cleaned and stored at specific temperature (18 °C) and humidity (75%). Eggs were equally divided into six groups i.e. A, B, C, D, E. and F having 105 eggs in each group and each group was further subdivided into three replicates having 35 eggs each. They were stored upto 4th, 7th, 10th, 13th, 16th and 19th day, prior to incubation. After incubation the effect of six different storage periods was studied on the various traits i.e. fertility percentage, hatchability percentage, clear eggs and dead in shell.
Statistical analysis of the data revealed that no differences were observed amongst the groups in case of fertility (P> 0.05) but in case of hatchability there were differences (P
