  1. Cost of males and their depreciation value is high.

  2. Mortality among females is usually lower when they are mated with males.

  3. Number of eggs produced by hatchery flock are to be sold only as market eggs.

  4. Some of the eggs produced by hatchery flocks are not acceptable for incubation.

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In the poultry industry, production of hatching egg is more expensive because it requires optimum temperature fo incubation. But the major factor is the weight of the hatching egg and chick weight. Under optimal egg storage and incubation conditions, chick weight is 67-69 per cent of egg weight at setting. Therefore, the more uniform the egg weight, the more uniform the chick weight. Breeder uniformity determines uniformity in the hatching eggs produced; the more uniform the breeder flock, the more uniform the egg weights. Hence, some of the eggs produced by hatchery flocks are not acceptable for incubation and is rejected. So, the production of hatching eggs is more expensive than the production of market eggs.
