The in ovo technique is a method where nutrients are injected into the egg during
embryonic development. This method has been developed especially in poultry farming
in order to meet the nutritional needs of the embryo, to improve its development and to
obtain healthier and stronger birds after hatching. In in ovo feeding, carbohydrates, fats,
amino acids, minerals, vitamins, and other additives are used. The injection is
performed in five egg regions: the air cell, allantoic sac, amniotic fluid, embryo body,
and yolk sac. Studies have reported that in ovo injection affects various parameters,
such as the embryo's age and hatchability. The timing of the injection varies depending
on the region being injected, but it is generally performed during the embryo's hatching
period. Evaluating the results of studies conducted considering the needs during the
embryonic period, in ovo feeding has been reported to improve post-hatch parameters
in animals. Additionally, the in ovo feeding application strengthens the chicks' intestinal
development and immune system during the embryonic period, allowing them to store
more nutrients when they hatch. However, it has been reported that in ovo carbohydrate
feeding does not show an entirely positive effect on meeting the energy needs of the
embryo and improving hatchability parameters. In ovo, amino acid feeding has been
found to increase the absorption capacity of the intestine during the embryonic
development process, increasing hatch weight. The effects of in ovo fat feeding on
growth, development, and immunity are unclear. In ovo, vitamin feeding has been found
to protect the embryo against oxidative damage that occurs as a result of metabolism or
when exposed to heat stress during embryo development, as well as improve
hatchability parameters. In general, it is seen that in ovo feeding practices have
improving effects on hatchery parameters and especially broiler feeding parameters, but
more studies are needed in this regard.
